What did Ponyboy mean when he said, "the only reason Darry couldn't be a Soc was us"? (page 126)

He says this because Darry (his older brother) has everything going for him except for his family situation.


If the Curtis boys' parents had not been killed in the car crash, Darry would probably have been able to go to college.  He was smart and he was athletic (would have had a scholarship to college).  Beside that, he also had short hair.


But instead, Darry has to be a roofer so he can support his brothers.  So if it hadn't been for them, Darry would have had a much easier life -- much more like one of the Socs.
