So far so good:

"I think Darry is jealous because the soc he is about to fight is one of his old friends. When Darrys
  parents died he had to take care of and raise money for his brothers. I think he is jealous
  because the soc has his own life. Has time to do what he wants to do, he isn't struggling with
  money, and he is in school. "
-- Nils K.

"i think what he meant is that you if you don't have any friends or anybody in your life your heart
  will be empty and lonely all there is inside is hatred and denial and you won't feel a single thing..."
--Phol D.

 "If the story was told from Dally's point of view, the story would be about him getting
  arrested, getting drunk at parties, or getting into fights. If it was told from Soda's point of view, life
  would be great. He would be picking-up broads and working at the gas station. If the story were
  told from Darry's point of view, it would be full of him worrying about Pony and mad that he
  couldn't go to college."
-- Rachel H.

"...Ponyboy would probably struggle with all the decisions he has to make in the future. The pain he's been through would hold him back..."
-- Gillian B.
