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

Loyalty is not as important as it was in the past, I think it is an important value to hold on to. Even though our society has changed a lot over the years, the importance of human relationships is still the same. I would argue that in some ways, loyalty is even more important now than it was in the past. Having loyal friends and family members can be a real source of comfort and support. In the workplace, loyalty can help you build strong professional relationships and help you move up in your career. So, while the reasons for being loyal may have changed, I still believe that it is an important value to hold.

One example of irony in the giver would be how the community strives for sameness but the sameness leads back to lack of diversity and individuality.

For me, loyalty is definitely more important than popularity or fitting in. I think that being loyal to your friends and family is one of the most important things you can do in life. Popularity and fitting in might seem important in the moment, but when you’re an adult it does not matter as much. Loyalty, on the other hand, is something that lasts a lifetime and can help you build deep and meaningful relationships with the people you care about.

The community believes that the elimination of pain and suffering is a good thing, but this actually leads to a lack of emotion and empathy.

The fact that the community believes that they are living in a utopia, but in reality, it is a dystopia, is also an example of irony.

In the outsiders it is ironic that Johnny and Ponyboy killed a person, and they are hiding from the police in a church. I find it ironic because a church is a place you go to feel repentance, not a place you go to hide from the police.

In the outsiders, it is ironic that everybody thinks Johnny is the quiet and scared one while in the end he ends up being the hero.

I think that Johnny's injuries are too severe for him to survive, and that his death will be a catalyst for the rest of the story.

Throughout the story, Ponyboy has shown a talent for writing and an interest in literature. I think that by the end of the story, he will have discovered a passion for writing and will pursue it as a career.

# data[].attributes.body
Robert Frost uses imagery very effectively. He uses visual imagery to help us see the beauty of nature. When he describes the leaves as "gold" and the sky as "green", he allows us to imagine the setting in our heads. Robert also uses imagery, when he writes that "leaf subsides to leaf." This phrase helps us imagine the sensation of leaves brushing against each other as they fall to the ground.

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

# data[].attributes.body
Robert Frost uses imagery in "Nothing Gold Can Stay" to suggest that all things, no matter how beautiful, are fleeting and impermanent. Robert Frost helps us to feel the beauty of the natural world. For example, when he describes the leaves as "gold," he is using imagery to help us see the beauty of the autumn landscape. But at the same time, he is reminding us that this beauty is fleeting, that the leaves will soon fall and turn brown. When Robert Frost writes that the "dawn" is "gone down to day," he is using imagery to help us hear the passing of time. And when he describes the leaves as "leaf subsides to leaf," he is using imagery to help us feel the gentle fall of the leaves. Through these examples of imagery, Robert Frost suggests that all things must eventually pass away, and that we should cherish them while we can.

# data[].attributes.body
The poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" can be related to The Outsiders and its characters. The main characters are all young and full of life, but they are also living in a dangerous and unpredictable world. They know that their lives could be cut short at any moment, and they struggle to find meaning in a world that often seems unfair.

Just like the leaves in Robert Frost's poem must fall and turn brown, the characters in The Outsiders must confront the reality of their own life. They know that they cannot stay young and innocent forever, and that they will eventually have to confront the realities of life. At the same time they also find beauty and meaning in their relationships with each other. They form bonds of friendship and loyalty, and they learn to appreciate the simple things of life.

Outsiders is about what happens after the rumble. Ponyboy wakes up in an ambulance, injured and disoriented, and learns that several of his friends have also been hurt in the fight. Ponyboy is relieved to hear that Johnny is still alive, but soon discovers that Dally has been killed by the police after robbing a store. Ponyboy is very upset, and sad that Dally was killed. All of the greasers had come to rely on Dally as a source of strength and protection.

Despite the tragic outcome of the rumble, Ponyboy is able to find some hope in the fact that he and his friends have come together to stand up for themselves and to defend their way of life. He realizes that the world is not divided into "greasers" and "Socs". In the end, Ponyboy is able to come to terms with the losses he has suffered and to find a sense of peace in the world.
