Why is Ponyboy finally able to realize that Darry loves him? For The Outsiders)

English
1 answer:
Radda [10]2 years ago
7 0

Answer:

As Ponyboy is passionately hugging Darry, he realizes for the first time that Darry had a silent fear of losing another person he loved. Essentially, Ponyboy misinterpreted his brother's affection and finally realizes that Darry loves him when they see each other for the first time after the abandoned church fire. Approved by eNotes Editorial Team

Explanation:

As the classic "big-brother-turned-father-figure" character, Darry shows his love for Ponyboy through a number of different actions. He displays concern for his education, and hopes that Pony will finish high school to accept opportunities he never had.

He also knows that the world beyond their doorstep is tough, and so he does his best to "toughen up" Ponyboy and the others. All this, while at the same time, Darry is overseeing Pony's advancements in school and in productive areas that will benefit him later in life. As the family fell apart and Darry was thrust into the position of head of household, we see that he carries the responsibility well, and sees after his own in a number of very caring ways.

Leto [7]
The correct answer is B A worn yellow quilt was lying at the foot of the antique bed, a gift from their grandmother.

This is a run-on sentence because there shouldn't be a comma after bed. It should be an entirely new sentence after, or something like a dash or a semi colon.

zvonat [6]

Answer:

It signals that while horrors are occurring in the concentration camps, the world continues to function normally.

Explanation:

There is an element of irony, or of contrast here, because life in concentration camps was the complete opposite from the beautiful weather. The author took the time to create the contrast to highlight the horrors occurring in the concentration camps.

What two elements make up a short story's setting?
sergey [27]
A short story's setting is made of time and place.

Apart from plot (what is going on) and characters (who is doing what they are doing), the setting (where and when is the plot happening) is the most important element of a short story. The interpretation of a short story depends very much on how the author has described the setting. It provides a context for the events.
