In the novel, The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, Ponyboy recites the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, written by Robert Frost. With this text allusion, it really gets us thinking about the meaning the poem holds. Unquestionably, the first two lines of the work grasp the reader, stating that everything good has to come to a bitter end. Tying this in with The Outsiders, we are aware that the color gold is very prominent. Symbolizing youth and well-being, we can tell that the sentence is stating a negative point.
It is the giving you the message that you cannot always get what\ you want and can’t have everything. Something in your life will happen whether someone important to you dies or someone in your family gets diagnosed with a harsh disease. Furthermore, it is giving you the idea that all good must come to an end. In addition, the title also helps build up the theme. The title “Nothing Gold Can Stay”, it is pretty much saying that not anything gold, is able to stay.
Although there are many themes throughout this poem, one that I liked was the idea that everything will die at one point or another so we should treasure what we have while we can. The rhyme scheme of this poem is AABB. I think that he chose to do this rhyme pattern because it makes the poem roll right of the tongue. Even though there are many uses of senses in this poem, sight is the most important in this
However, with knowledge, this carefree nature was gone. The cycle of knowledge causing people to learn about the harsh realities of the world continues today, and causes fanciful childhood reveries to be lost. However, innocence is just one way the idea of gold can be interpreted in the poem. Something else that is gold are
Robert Frost’s poems explored the nature in a rather deep and dark way. For example, his poem, “After-Apple Picking” is hidden under a mask that looks like a harvester is just tired and wants to go to sleep after a day of picking apple from tree. However, we learned that this poem has deeper meaning than what is being shown on the surface. This poem is about actually talking about death as a deeper meaning. I think it is really interesting how Robert Frost, as a poet, was able to connect two themes that are completely different and make it into a single poem.
“‘Nature's first green is gold, Her hardest hue to hold. Her early leaf’s a flower; But only so an hour. Then leaf subsides to leaf. So Eden sank to grief, So dawn goes down to day. Nothing gold can stay’” (67) and “‘Stay gold, Ponyboy.
A part of the poem that sustains the meaning of “Stay gold” can include, “Her early leaf’s a flower;/ But only do an hour./ Then leaf subsides to leaf.” This piece of “Nothing Gold Can Stay,” includes how quickly a golden moment can last “only so an hour.” This can relate to The Outsiders that shows how quick a golden moment lasts. From the poem, when a golden moment ends, everything goes away like from a flower, “leaf subsides to leaf.”
However, after reading the first stanza, it is evident to the reader that, there is oppression in the air. The first stanza reads that, “Dawn in New York has four columns of mire and a hurricane of black pigeons splashing in the putrid waters,” and this is clear to the reader that, the New York Dawn is not a normal dawn and that life in New York is despondent. According to the writer, the dawn does not come with something to smile about. After reading the poem, we realize the writer’s reason for entitling it as such.
Robert Frost’s Nothing Gold Can Stay is about the color gold and how hard it is for nature to hold this particular color. Nature’s leaf blooms to a flower, but that moment in time is short, because things that bloom can also die quickly like the crocuses that appear at the beginning of spring. The color gold appears again when dawn is used in the poem, but like every other line, the gold of dawn soon fades to the blue of day. This poem has a rather simple theme of impermanence. This is a rather broad theme, as it could be the impermanence of beauty or good things that fade off after a short time.
Within every character, in every scene, on either side of town, important lessons can be learned to turn the community around. In The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, several roles portrayed could use some lessons being depicted in the poem “Nothing Gold Can Stay” written by Robert Frost. Tough hoods on the East Side of town and the snobs of the West Side, also known as Greasers and Socs have very different stories but could learn a lot from each other if they were willing to put aside their differences. “Nothing Gold Can Stay” is all about the diminishing of the gold soul you had the chance to keep. A mass group of characters from the novel can take the themes presented in the poem to heart, whether they’re from the East or West side.
Imagery and tone plays a huge role for the author in this poem. It’s in every stanza and line in this poem. The tone is very passionate, joyful and tranquil.
I think the poem merits this continued attention because it is a classic that captivates the attention of a variety of people and entertains them. In addition, many probably like to read this poem because they want to find the symbolism behind the poem. 2A. The speaker is reading in the beginning of the poem because its a distraction from his sadness and loneliness. B. The speakers emotional state is depressed, tired and lonely at the beginning of the poem.
Other events that may have influenced him to write poems the way he does are, visiting different places and things. When he moved, he went to different colleges and got different experiences to write poems. In Frost’s three poems, “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening (“SBW”), “The Road Not Taken” (“RNT”), and “Nothing Gold Can Stay” (“NGS”), there are both similarities and differences in form and style, theme and meaning, and tone and mood. First off, in the poem “Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening”, the form of it is a traditional form. Next, the style of the poem has rhyme scheme, repetition, and metaphors.
