POV: SteveI never seen Sodapop look so...gloomy. He was always the happier one of the bunch, but ever since our gang has fallen...with deaths. First it was Johnny and Dally, then Darry and Ponyboy. His own brothers. Two-Bit was off somewhere with his children. Soda and I just stuck around on another. We were walking to see his brothers, in their graves. It was only a few years ago when they passed. Ponyboy smoked so much after Johnny and Dally's death. He eventually developed lung cancer. The last thing he did was give Soda a copy of his book, The Outsiders. Darry slipped on a loose shingle a few days after Pony died. He still had to work to support Soda and Him. He fell off the roof he was working on and broke his neck, and when I say it was …show more content…
I bent down to comfort him, rubbing his back in complicated swirls, just like how I did my hair. Soda kept crying, he was full of dirt, and so was I. But I didn't care, I’m a true friend. True friends do anything. He looked up at me with his dull eyes, once lively and brown, now dark and murky. His tear stained cheeks and his red puffy eyes just screamed grief. I didn't realize I was crying too until I felt a hot tear slide down my cheek. I pulled my friend into a embrace, he returned it, clutching onto me like a koala to it's mother. After a few calm breaths, he pulled out of the hug. He wiped his eyes on his jacket sleeve, and smiled a bit, “Thanks for always being there for me…”, Soda set the flowers down on his older and younger brothers graves, we stood up and walked out. Soda made some small talk about some random things as we left the depressing scene. I felt a cold breeze on my neck, and swore I heard voices. “Watch over my brother with all your life.”, That one was stern and cold just like
Tulsa - During these past few days, Ponyboy has been in contact with one of the bumpiest roads in his life that could ever happen. To be under hiding as wanted by police for the manslaughter of Robert “Bob” Sheldon. Regardless, in recent measures is now being praised as a child savior from a recent fire in Windrixville. Moreover, Ponyboy no longer under the custody of his parents due to a horrific car crash has been living with his older brothers Darry along with Sodapop Curtis. These trio of brothers have been living in desperation as Darry has a life of two different occupations.
Then Dallas Winston join them. When the rumble was over Ponyboy and Dallas went to the hospital to see Johnny, by a police officer, when they got to the hospital. Johnny was dieting, the last thing that Dallas said to Johnny was that he was proud of him. By the moment they were there Johnny died. And Dallas slammed back against the wall.
Let go of the memories, and the friendships, and the good times. Impermanence is an important part of becoming older, and Ponyboy is ready for it. The first death mentioned in this story is Ponyboy’s parents. The eldest Curtis, Darry, is left to care for Ponyboy and the middle brother Sodapop.
Sodapop was there getting the soc’s off ponyboy when they jumped him when he was walking (6-7). When Soda showed up to protect ponyboy he chased the soc’s so they couldn’t hurt him anymore. By him chasing the soc’s, he was doing the best he could to protect Pony. Soda poured his heart out when Darry and Ponyboy were arguing to make them stop (175).
Darry then decided to step up and “come of age” to try to be a father like figure for Ponyboy. Ponyboy doesn’t seem to think that Darry cares for him because of the way Darry treats Ponyboy so Ponyboy turns to Sodapop more, “Sodapop is different from anybody; he understands everything...almost. Like he 's never hollering at me all the time the way Darry is, treating me like I’m six instead of fourteen,” (#2). This shows that Ponyboy is annoyed of Darry 's strict father-like figure because Darry is always telling Ponyboy what to do instead of being their for him. But Darry’s strict Father-like figure isn 't so bad, it did do some good…..
Soda-Pop People change thought out time. In S.E. Hinton 's The Outsiders Soda-Pop is one of the three brothers that change.

After Johnny kills Bob Soda-Pop starts to care more about Ponyboy.
In the novel “The Outsiders” , by S.E Hinton, Darry made a choice that ultimately drove the plot. Ponyboy comes home late at night , and Darry caught and yelled furiously at him for being out late and as Soda tries to defend him he became angry and slapped Ponyboy.

¨And while I was thinking about it, I realized that I never had paid much attention to Soda's problems. Darry and I just took for granted that he didn't have any. ”(Hilton 174) Another point to add to the argument is that while all of this was going on, Soda still played the middleman in all of Darry and Ponyboy's arguments and he tried to smooth out the brother's relationship. He was the voice of reason in all of the duos spats, and worked on mitigating the
