2. According to Ponyboy, how is Darry feeling when the rumble is about to start?

Darry doesnt want Ponyboy to participate in the rumble

Explanation:

" "I dont know if you ought to be in this rumble,Pony" Darry said slowly

oh, no. i thought in mortal fear. Ive got to be in it. Right then the most important thing in my life was helping us whip the Socs. Dont let him make me stay home now. Ive got to be in it.

"How come? Ive always come through before, aint i?"

"Yeah," Darry said with a proud grin. "You fight real good for a kid your size. But you were in shape before. Youve lost weight and you dont look so great, kid Youre tensed up too much" "

Ponyboy wants to help beat up the Socs but Darry is saying that he shouldnt and stay home because of his injuries. Hope this helps xx

Edit: Darry also goes on to explain how Jhonny wasnt going to be at the rumble. Since jhonny and ponyboy usually ganged up on one big guy together, Darry didnt think it was a good idea for Ponyboy to fight alone without jhonny there.

what are the statements xd
