The author uses nature imagery multiple times throughout this poem.“Green is gold”- The author uses the color Green to describe the grass and Gold to describe the sun. He goes on to say “Early leafs a flower…” the leafs are indicating flowers blooming. “Leaf subsides to leaf…Eden sank to grief”..  As summer turns into fall the Leaves start to fall off trees. “Dawn goes down to day…nothing gold can stay” Gold is the sun, the sun only stays up for a certain period of time each day and as the days start to get shorter and shorter as summer turns into fall and fall turns into winter the sun starts to go down earlier.

2) What is Robert Frost suggesting with each use of this type of imagery?

# data[].attributes.body
Robert Frost is suggesting with each type of imagery he uses leaves and flowers to make meaning. “Green is gold” represents summertime where the grass is green and where the sun shines. “Early leafs a flower…” illustrates that springtime is when the flowers start to bloom, but they dont last long..”only so an hour.” “Leaf subsides to leaf…Eden sank to grief” It sounds like the leaves fall off the trees and die, which describes the Fall season. “Dawn goes down to day … nothing gold can stay” The author is describing the days are getting shorter, which is what occurs during winter.

In chapter five Ponyboy recites the poem “Nothing gold can stay '' when he and Johnny were hiding out in the church and watching the wonderful sunrise. The poem symbolizes the death of Ponyboy, Sodapop and Darry parents and the great life the boys had with their parents before they died.

I believe that Johnny is going to die.This is because he is in really critical condition after he and Ponyboy saved the kids from a burning church.When they were saving the kids Johnny got a big piece of wood fall on his back and he was knocked unconscious. Johnny is trying to make a good recovery but we don't think that he’s going to live because of how bad his injuries are.

# data[].attributes.body
I think that Ponyboy is going to become a Socs. I think this because he’s very smart, intelligent and the youngest greaser giving him the ability to learn from his brothers mistakes and ensure that he doesnt follow in their footsteps. This will provide him with more opportunities and a better life as a Socs.

What is the main problem with stereotypes? Think of examples from The Outsiders and your own life to add to this discussion.

The main problem with stereotypes is people judging you because of where you come from. Like how in the outsiders people judge the greasers because of where they come from and that they think they are bad people when not all of them are bad people, like when Johnny and Ponyboy helped the kids out of the burning church that shows that not all greasers are bad. Johnny and ponyboy risked their lives to help the kids get out, but in the cause of those actions that ponyboy and Johnny did. Johnny ended up getting really hurt.

"A panic was rising in me as I listened to Johnny's quiet voice go on and on.

"Johnny!" I nearly screamed. "What are we gonna do? They put you in the electric chair

for, killing people!" I was shaking. I want a cigarette. I want a cigarette. I want a

cigarette. We had smoked our last pack. "I'm scared, Johnny. What are we gonna do?"

It's ironic because he's weird about dying in an electric chair and yet he asked for a cigarette. Which we know kills people.

"It about swallowed me. "Hop the three-fifteen

freight to Windrixville," Dally instructed. "There's an old abandoned church on top of Jay

Mountain. There's a pump in back so don't worry about water. Buy a week's supply of

food as soon as you get there--- this morning, before the story gets out, and then don't so

much as stick your noses out the door."

After committing murder he is told to hide out in an abandoned church which is symbolic of peace and not hurting people even though Jonny murdered a socs.

Humans needed to be loyal in the past for survival. Is it something that is now less important in the 2000’s? Why or why not?

Humans needed to be loyal in the past for survival. Is it something that is now less important in the 2000’s? Why or why not?

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I think loyalty was less important in the 2000's because we now rely on technology and have unlimited access to food at grocery stores, clothing, water and necessities to live. We also have health care and medication. In the past, there weren’t always these things so people had to rely on other people and the land where they lived for food, shelter and water etc.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, I believe that loyalty is more important to me than popularity and fitting in. I think that loyalty is more important because if you have 1-4 loyal friends that will be your friend now matter what, compared to 10 fake friends that won’t be friends with you if you do something they don't like A loyal friend I would choose because they will be with you know matter how you act or who you become.

4) Write a theme statement that focuses on this poem and what you have read so far in the novel.

# data[].attributes.body
The theme statement is that your life's too short and don’t take it for granted. This can be seen  in the poem as Robert Frost describes how the seasons come and go. Similarly, the timing of Ponyboy reciting the poem is around the time that Johnny dies, which symbolizes his life and death and the fact that life doesn't last forever and you should live your life to the fullest.
