HI I wrote a poem to somewhat summerize the book! Its Darry telling it.

My days are going long and weary.

My nights long and dreadful.

My weeks tough to handle.

My months are growing better.

The reason being my brothers.

Thiers still happy go lucky,

and out of the world dreamer.

My days now long but not weary.

My nights long and quit.

no thats a dream.

Were just naturally not quit.

I am getting meaner and stricter,

busyer and tireder.

I yell at Pony over every little thing.

I'm trying to stop.

But is it possible?

Under this stress no.

Ponyboy come home late.

On no what happened?

Pony's gone.

I blame myself.

I hit him.

Soda is upset.

Sandy in Pony in the same week.

Days go by.

The phones ringing.

Its the hospital Pony is okay.

We rush to the hospital.

Pony rushes to Soda.

Now Pony stands thier in a daze.

Stareing at me.

I knew he would not forgive me.

Tears are starting to escape out of my eyes.

Pony breaks out of his daze.

Now he stands here squeezing me.

Now i'm relieved my brothers home safe.

Now a cop tells me thiers a hearing.

No thier never takeing them away.

That night Pony had one of his nightmares.

I was generally worried.

That night we had a rumble.

Socs verses greseres.

Dally shows Johnny still hospitilized.

We won I called.

Pony and Dal disappear.

The next thing I know Ponys home.

Johnnys dead is his news.

Then Dal calls.

He knocked off a store.We raced to the lot,

but he got himslef shot.

I turned around towards home.

Thats when I saw my baby brother collaspe.

Now he is back home.

HE's awake!

He's okay!

Then thiers the hearing.

The most frighting of all.

They said I was acquited to remain the guardian.

Now all of us still together,

but none of us quit the same.

okay this starts out right after his parents die.I hope you enjoyed it..
