When Johnny says "Stay gold Ponyboy,  Stay gold..." my team thinks that this means to stay yourself and stay as strong as you can. You should stay out of the bad influences in  your life. Don't get any less perfect than you already are. Don't change who you are even if I die. Johnny wants ponyboy to find the good in life or to stay positive

When Johnny says "Stay gold Ponyboy Stay gold..." Johnny meant that Ponyboy should not change just because the world is changing around him. Johnny told Ponyboy to stay gold, because he wants Ponyboy to stay himself. ''You still have a lot of time to make yourself be what you want. There is still lots of good in the world.'' It backs up what Johnny said about Ponyboy staying gold, and that there is still good in the world.

My group thinks what Johnny means is that Pony needs the stay himself. We think this because Pony has a good personalty and he shouldn't let the world change him. Johnny says, "it's just when you get used to everything it's day." I think Johnny means Ponyboy has a good personality and shouldn't let the world change it.

My team infers that when Johnny says "Stay gold, Ponyboy" he is telling Ponyboy to stay true to himself and not change because the environment and people he surrounds himself with.  Johnny knows that Pony isn't as bad and tough as the rest of the gang and  Johnny tells him that  so  Pony has something to think back on when he put into a situation of risky, bad things to stay true.  At the end of the book, Pony stated that we wasn't going to be in the gang forever and he want to move on to do other things using his academic skills.  Pony saved children from a fire and actually pays attention to his smarts and academic skills.

When Johnny says, "Stay gold, Ponyboy, stay gold," he was trying to tell Pony to stay himself and not change who he is. Even though the outside world might influence him, Pony shouldn't change anything about his personality. Johnny knows that Pony is more innocent than the rest of the gang so he's telling him to hold on to that. We believe this because he and Johnny helped those kids out of the church when the rest of the gang probably wouldn't have.

Our team says that when Johnny tells Ponyboy to stay gold he means to not change and stay himself because it is better to be pure and kind,  because you don't want to be hard as rock and not care about your actions and end up wasting your life by going to jail and doing bad things that could hurt you and others.''I've been thinking about that poem,that guy that wrote it,he meant when you're a kid everything's new dawn. It's just when you get used to everything that it's day. Like the way you dig sunsets Pony that's gold keep it that way its a good way to be.''Johnny means its good to be unique. Because the rest of the Greasers would never be this way except for Ponyboy.

When Johnny states, "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold...", he means he wants Ponyboy to stay a kid and to not become hard like Dally.  He doesn't want Ponyboy to grow up to fast.  Even though Ponyboy got into trouble with Johnny involving Bob's murder, Johnny wants him to stay out of trouble. Johnny wants him to be successful and to go beyond the rest of the gang, he doesn't want him to be like Dally. Johnny wants Ponyboy to see the good in the world and to focus on the good not the bad.

When Johnny told Ponyboy "Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold..." he wanted Ponyboy to stay true to himself and innocent. He also didn't want him to end out like the rest of the gang mean and cruel.  He wanted Pony to be kind and not change just because of his surroundings. Johnny said that "It was worth saving those kids." Johnny wants Ponyboy to be the same way a hero, even through the bad times.
