If darry didn't have soda and pony, why would he be a soc?

According to sources, "Darry would have been freed from the responsibility of providing and caring for his two younger brothers. The text makes clear that he was very intelligent and athletic, and thus could have easily gained a scholarship and gone to college to study further, thus giving him more opportunities in life and freeing him from his working-class roots."

That's something your gonna have to yourself with buddy!
