"Darry hasn't got the slightest notion where you're at and it is nearly killing him."
This shows that even thought he appears to be cold and heartless really, he is just as human as any of us, and he really is sorry for hitting Ponyboy. The full stop at the end shows that Soda is being serious, and it really is killing Darry not knowing where his brother is, when as if it had been an exclamation mark, it would have looked as if Soda was making a joke or being metaphoric but he's not.

ReplyDeleteDarry,
"Darry is awful sorry he hit you. You know he didn't mean it."
Darry is always shown as the strongest bravest member of the familly,but he really does care about his brothers and even though he lost his temper and Ponyboy should have been home on time, he knows that he shouldn't have hit Ponyboy and that he regrets being so cross.
