Answer:
- Growing up means accepting oneself.
Explanation:
The theme of the given excerpt from 'The Outsiders' is 'growing up means accepting oneself' as it displays how the speaker has accepted his brothers' distinct choices and their way of life instead of imposing his own interests on them. His brother Soda does not 'crack a book at all' while Darrel, his eldest brother, remains busy with his work and doesn't have time for books, drawing, or movies but he seems to have accepted these differences in their choices. It reflects that with growing up, he's become more mature and accepting.
