Read this excerpt from the outsiders. soda tries to understand, at least, which is more than darry does. but then, soda is different from anybody; he understands everything, almost. like he’s never hollering at me all the time the way darry is, or treating me as if i was six instead of fourteen. i love soda more than i’ve ever loved anyone, even mom and dad. which statement best states the theme of this excerpt? people are alike inside. hardship builds character. kindness creates loyalty. appearances can be deceptive.

The theme is the following statement:

Kindness creates loyalty

Hope this helps :D

The answer is indeed: kindness creates loyalty.

Explanation:

The Outsiders is a novel by Susan E. Hinton, published when she was only 18 years old.

The character and narrator Ponyboy, member of a gang, is expressing his loyalty to one of his elder brothers in the excerpt we are studying here. Pony is stating that he loves Soda because Soda listens to him, because he treats him accordingly to his age, and because he is understanding.

To understand how loyal Pony is to his brother, we should note the affirmation "I love Soda more than I’ve ever loved anyone, even Mom and Dad." We would assume that any person's greatest love is felt toward their own parents or children. Still, Pony's love for Soda is greater than that due his kindness.
