I think that by this johnny meant that some things are meant to stay gold and some things are not meant to stay gold. I think he means that some things are more important than other things are.He meant that PonyBoy was diffrent and he had to stay that way by staying gold.He meant that even though

"When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house"

I think this means that if you think deeper to this quote that you will see it foreshadows the conflict towards the end of the book. He is trying to step out of the shadows that he caused to himself, and into the light where he will be noticed. From there he will spread his word of the conflicts he's been through and will tell the world that there is more to life than the things he and his gang did.

"... that's what you get for trying to help people, ..." - Dally    pg 149

I think that Dally meant this to say that , if you stayed on the safer side, you wouldn't get hurt like you did in the rumble. I think he meant that it's better personally for you to not take risks then to risk everything. I think this  also proved that Johnny's personality and overall character has changed from being a shy and cowardly greaser, to becoming this strong and confident person.

"He ain't a Soc," He's just a guy"- Ponyboy to Two-bit after the talk with Randy
In the book it talks a lot about the differences between Greasers and Soc's. Really they are just kids trying to fit in some group. Randy doesn't like fighting all the time, and all throughout the book Ponyboy talks and thinks about if the fighting and stealing things is worth it. He wonders what's the point of it?

"he ain't a soc he is just a guy who wanted to talk
this is important because he wasn't even going to fight in the rumble against the greasers. He just wanted to talk to ponyboy to tell him that he shouldn't do the rumble. Randy was trying to be a regular person and the fighting is useless it just starts more problems.

"stay gold, pony boy stay gold." pg 148

This quote represents the theme because its not because of the word but that Johnny  was gold himself  and he can not stay on Earth forever,so he is leaving now.

The teacher said
"I swear you guys are the bravest kids I have  seen in a long time."

No one in there right mind would have thought that a greaser, a hood a gangster would have ever done something so heroic like saving children from the burning church building. The teacher that pony had told that to was quite surprised when he had found that out.

"Nothing gold can stay."  (Page 77)
I think it is important because he is trying to explain that things don't always stay the same.

that fighting is not always the answer some people can croupt with power and money some are just pacifist along the story

"You want to know something, Ponyboy? I'm scared stiff. I used to talk about killing myself... I don't want to die now. It ain't long enough. Sixteen years ain't long enough."

Johnny doesn't want to die. He thinks he hasn't lived long enough.

Dally-" That's what you get for trying to help people"
Dally was blaming johnny for being in the state he was in. Dally was basically saying that if Johnny wouldn't have ran into that church to help those kids he would've been okay. Dally also meant that if you worried about yourself you'd never be hurt because it's only you. Dally also could've meant that people wouldn't help a greaser so johnny should't have helped them.

"Stay gold, Ponyboy. Stay gold." (Page 148)
Johnny told Ponyboy to stay golden. By stay golden Johnny means for him to stay young or innocent. A lot of the people in the gang have lost their innocence because of the things that they have seen or done. But Ponyboy

''It's not money, it's feeling-you don't feel anything and we feel too violently'' page 38
Money is not important and feeling emotions are. That why the Socs and the greasers are different Socs. Socs have money and Greasers have feeling

"I knew as well as he did that if you got tough you didn't get hurt. Get smart and nothing can touch you." (page 171)

This quote is important to the story because of the conflict between the Greasers and the Socs. At the beginning of the story, Ponyboy was confronted by several Socs. He didn't show any sign of opposition or violence, and as a result, they beat him up. However, at the end of the book, when they approached, he broke a bottle and threatened them with it. This is important to both the theme and the conflict of The Outsiders. Ponyboy realizes that all Socs and Greasers are individuals, and that finding a way around the situation instead of reacting with violence would be better.

"Things are rough all over"pg. 35

This is a important quote because ponyboy and all the greasers believe that the Socs have it good and have no problems and this is where ponyboy starts to believe that everyone is a person and everyone has problems. cherry was telling him that both social classes are not that much different.

Someone should tell their side of the story, and maybe people would understand then and wouldn't be so quick to judge a boy by the amount of hair oil he wore.

I think it mean that he wons to show that they are

"I'll take you"
This is actually quite an important quote because Paul and Darry were once friends and now they're here to beat the tar out of each other. The only reason why they are fighting is because of the factions they are in. If Darry's parents didn't die then he and Paul would still be friends. They didn't fight because they hated each other they fought because they were told to hate the other side. This is a picture of struggle. They could have probably still been friends if it wasn't for everybody having to hate the other side. They probably still want to be friends but are told they can't because there is always something wrong with the other side.

" Tell Dally there is good in the world. I don't think he knows"
This means that Johnny is "telling" Dally that he cant just go his life trying to fight people all his life because he didn't like people or because they disagreed on something and he wants him to realize the damage that can be done to him for fighting everyone he can.
PG. 178-179

" That's what you get for trying to help people " ( pg. 149)

Dally mean't that Johnny could of been alive but instead he wanted to save the kids and now he is gone. Also, Johnny's character changed because he was always scared of stuff and by him going in to save those kids,  his bravery really showed.

pg 129-130    "can you see the sunset real good from the west side ?" she blinked, startled, then smiled. "Real good." You can see it from the East side, too,"I said quietly" This quote is important because it shows how the greasers and the soc are not that different individually. While there is a difference in money there isn't a difference in their own character.

"He ain't a Soc, he's just a guy. He just wanted to talk."(Pg 118)
Ponyboy realizes that Greasers and  Socs are the same. Just because they have different liking's,how much money they have, or what ype of clothe they where. Ponyboy sees them as all the same. Nothing is different, they are all humans no matter what.

"Useless... fighting's no good"

The 2 groups are constantly fighting with each other and it does no good, nothing ever changes even after the rumble the Socs probably still pick on the greasers when ever they want to or if they are drunk. Usually fight doesn't resolve the problem any way, its not the right answer.
(pg148)

"Hey,"

"If you got tough you didn't get hurt. Get smart and nothing can touch you." (Pg.171)

Ponyboy is realizing that you can get tough and fight or you can get smart and end the fighting. This is one of the themes of the novel. If you continue to fight, then more people are going to get hurt and in the end no one wins. Especially if it is a class situation, fighting isn't going to make the poor people rich or the rich people poor. Ending the fighting is the only way to win.
