What is the excerpt talking about in this?
Answer:
Darry is hard on him but only because he wants the best from ponyboy and more. Sometimes he doesn't mean to do it intentionally and yells at him. That would really show why they don't get along.
Hope it helps and have a great day! =D

Answer:
This right here is half my life epiphany.
If people don't have a goal, they're purposeless. There's no point in them being aimless. There's a quote that says, 'Dreams are goals with no game plan.' Dreams are the first step in creating a goal. You just haven't done anything about it yet.
It's so important for people to have goals because otherwise they can sink into a state of either uselessness and depression, or they wander aimlessly with nothing to add to the world.
There's a song that says, '<em>We waited, we waited / For you but you just left us / We needed you, I needed you / Yo, I don't know what it's like to be addicted to pills / But I do know what it's like to be a witness, it kills.'</em>
People without life goals are six times as likely to die from drug or alcohol abuse/overdose, and twice as likely to be homeless as those with life.
In my opinion, not having a dream, not being ready to have a goal, is only one more step towards falling apart.
