Read the passage from the novel The Outsiders.

Darry didn't deserve to work like an old man when he was only twenty. He had been a real popular guy in school; he was captain of the football team and he had been voted Boy of the Year. But we just didn't have the money for him to go to college, even with the athletic scholarship he won. And now he didn't have time between jobs to even think about college. So, he never went anywhere and never did anything anymore, except work out at gyms and go skiing with some old friends of his sometimes.

Which thesis statement would be best supported by this quote?

Anyone can be successful if they work hard enough.
Responsibility can change a person’s life for the better.
Sometimes you must sacrifice your goals to help your family.
You should not let family responsibilities interfere with having fun.

According to the text above, we can see that Darry had to abandon his goals of going to college, like his high school friends, to help meet the family's needs.

With that, we can say that the third answer option is the correct answer.

Darry is the older brother of Ponnyboy, who is the narrator of "The Outsiders." After they lost their parents, Darry had to find several jobs to support himself and meet the needs of his brothers, including Ponnyboy.

With that we can see that Darry:

  • Sacrifice for the family.
  • Give up his own dreams and goals to allow the brothers not to go out of necessity.
  • He was a good student and would have a promising future.
  • He became the main responsible for the family.

"The Outsiders" tells the story of Ponnyboy, who lives in a situation of social vulnerability, along with his brothers and ends up getting involved with street gangs, while struggling to discover who he really is.
