Unlike the other Greasers, Darry is mature and has the responsibility of taking care of his two younger brothers. Darry is older than most of the boys in the gang, and also works two jobs to support his family. Unlike the majority of the Greasers, Darry excelled in school and athletics. Unfortunately, he was not able to accept an athletic scholarship to play football in college because he had to take care of Ponyboy and Sodapop. Darry also doesn't spend much time hanging around with the gang. He is either working or making sure things are in order around the home. Darry is not a criminal and does not enjoy getting drunk like the other Greasers. He doesn't even look like a Greaser. He has short hair and a toned physique. Before the rumble, Ponyboy mentions that he could tell Darry was actually ashamed to be a Greaser.
