In the book The Outsiders by Se. Hinton. I believe he is an unworthy guardian, he is a good brother but is a bad “parent”. Because why would a brother do things that I’m about to label. isn't being taken care of him because he is too young! I think darry is 20-years old and 17-years old soda, his sibling being a dropout? he doesn't want that. He will barely get to pick a job with that record, in my opinion.

He was there always. No matter what he works his butt off just for him to go to a great school and then a college.
In conclusion, He isn’t a good guardian at all, letting him go into rumbles and go alone places knowing they have enemies. Restating, I think he is not worthy of being a guardian because he allows Ponyboy to do bad
