Outsiders essay about Darry
A Boy with a Father 's Responsibility Darrel “Darry” Curtis was a 20 year old boy who took responsibility and parented his brothers while keeping two jobs. In the book The Outsiders by S.E Hinton, Darry was a grown up boy, smart and brawn, who was the leader of a gang called the Greasers and was a guardian for his brothers. Darry took this role as a guardian or father of his brothers Sodapop and Ponyboy Curtis after the death of their parents. The Greasers were in a heated rivalry with another gang called the Socs. Darry took responsibility for his family and gang members while working two jobs. Through the ups and downs Darry protected his brothers.
