How would you feel if they tried to take your family away from you or you away from your family? Well they’re trying to put Ponyboy in the system and take him from his family. When his big brother Darry has given up his hole life to take care of his brother. In the book “the outsiders” by S.E.

This also shows he do anything for him. This is just another one of the reasons that prove that Darry is a good guardian for Ponyboy.
