“Nothing Gold Can Stay” means that nothing perfect can stay. In life, the best things are the ones that don’t last forever. The most beautiful things in life are the things that have the shortest life. In the poem, it says "Nature’s first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold”, this means that the most beautiful color of nature is gold, but it also is the hardest color to last. In the book when Johnny refers to “Nothing Gold Can Stay” he is telling Ponyboy to stay with all that innocence that they had in their childhood. When the Greasers were small, they were innocent, but when they grew to adults, they became less innocent, violent, mean, rule breakers, etc… So what Johnny wants is that Ponyboy doesn’t become violent, mean, rule breaker,…

First off, we've got yellows and golds, which we're thinking has something to do with…gold (in the cash money sense). Why gold and not green? Because we're talking about the real stuff, the authentic, traditional, "old money" – not these new-fangled dollar bills. So you have Gatsby's party, where the turkeys are "bewitched to dark gold," and Jordan's "slender golden arm[s]" (3.19), and Daisy the "golden girl" (7.99), and Gatsby wearing a gold tie to see Daisy at Nick's house.…
Frost explains that nothing, especially that which is perfect and beautiful, can last forever. Frost says, "Nature's first green is gold, her hardest hue to hold, Her early leafs a flower, but only so an hour," meaning that "gold" is considered beautiful and perfect but is the hardest to keep. Gold will only last a short time. The above quote from the poem also means that the best things in life, represented by gold, can't last forever as represented by the second line of the poem. The poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost holds several meanings that relate beauty to life, staying young and beautiful, and that perfection is only temporary and easily lost. The poem also related to the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton as well.…
When the Black Plague is mentioned most people think of the first occurrence from 1348-1400, yet many people don’t know that it reoccurred when Shakespeare was alive. Shakespeare was affected by the Black Plague in several ways: many of his family members died, his family incurred the high expenses of medical care, and he lived in an environment where people were dying everywhere and bodies even littered the streets.…
(Slide 1) After declaring that “Chaucer followed Nature everywhere,” and that God’s plenty can be found in his works, John Dryden, in his Preface to the Fables, Ancient and Modern, considers why Chaucer includes “low characters” in the Canterbury Tales, such as “the Reeve, the Miller, the Shipman, the Merchant, the Sumner, and above all, the Wife of Bath, in the prologue to her tale.” This tendency toward the low, Dryden suggests, is a quality that Chaucer shares with Boccaccio, whom he also includes in the Fables. “What need [had] they,” Dryden asks, “of introducing such characters, where obscene words were proper in their mouths.” Dryden’s answer to this question is simple: there is no need for such characters, with their obscene words. And, in the case of the Canterbury Tales, the solution is equally simple; Dryden omits from his collection the tales containing these obscene words.…
Ever since man was given the gift of emotions; it is said that happiness and joy are necessities for common life. It gives great definition to life, because most of the cherished memories that are held dear by most are memories of great bliss and enjoyment. Yes, these feelings of merriment are what give us our humanity, but like a double-edged sword, bliss and happiness do not last forever. This thought is best portrayed through Robert Frost’s poem, “Nothing Gold Can Stay.” This poem goes to great lengths to emphasize it’s message; that each line of this piece strengthens the idea that bliss, and life itself are truly “golden” with the use of metaphors, but inevitably these feelings fade away.…

The title is a way to express the theme in this book. One reason the title relates to staying gold because if you are different from everybody else that means that you stand out in the crowd that you are like a golden block. The second reason that title relates to the theme is because staying gold means believing in yourself and don't let anyone put you down. That is how the title relates to the theme.…
Gold, representing this happy, upbeat, spring of life is used quite frequently throughout the novel. “At Gatsby’s parties even the turkeys turn to gold “..turkeys bewitched a dark gold”” (Fitzgerald 41). Parties that Gatsby throws are decorated in gold, giving his guests an opportunity to escape their past and live in the present. “While Gatsby is a "mystery" for those who attend his parties, he is even more, as Nick Carraway notes, "an elusive rhythm, a fragment of lost words" (The Great Gatsby and the obscene word). Although, Gatsby was marked as a mystery, people all over would still attend his parties. Gatsby’s parties give a promising appeal to people that it will be a night to never forget. These grand events taken place at Gatsby’s home, are something to look forward to. His guest developed an attachment to Gatsby’s gold riches. The color gold makes a mark, when representing happiness and new riches also known as wealth, to people’s…
