How does johnnys situation relate to nothing gold can say

English

Gold represents innocence and childhood. The phrase "Nothing gold can stay" means that nothing can stay young forever. People will age no matter what; people will lose their innocence no matter what. In the letter Johnny left Ponyboy inside the copy of Gone With The Wind, he says, "I've been thinking about it, and that poem, that guy that wrote it, he meant you're gold when you're a kid, like green. When you're a kid everything's new, dawn. It's just when you get used to everything that it's day."

This poem relates to The Outsiders because Ponyboy Curtis was just fourteen-years-old and was already facing so much in his life: murder case, parentless, brotherhood. Ponyboy has seen and heard too much to be innocent, yet he is not dirty. All this is making Ponyboy "lose" his "goldness", yet there is so much that Ponyboy is doing that keeps him gold, such as watching sunsets. Ponyboy has a childlike view of the world, and when Johnny tells him to "stay gold", he wants Ponyboy to stay this way and to never let go of these young, innocent things.

Hope this helps

Why should women not join selective services? 99 Points I give BRAINLIEST!
levacccp [35]

1. This will create a weaker military where both servicemen and servicewoman pay the price in precious blood, because women are different then men physically.

- Combat roles are already open to women, if women registered for Selective Service and a draft was in fact implemented, the number of females on the military front lines could skyrocket. This would weaken our forces and unnecessarily cost both male and female blood. Obviously men are more equipped physically than women on the battle field.

2. All positions of the military are currently open to women,

- If a women would like to serve her country in any role at all, and is capable, she can. With no restrictions on  access, mandating women to register for Selective Service would only force unwilling participants in the name of "equality."

3. Daughters, sisters and wives serving will be targeted.

-Taking a look on how women are treated would make this clear. Because, imagining what would be done to a woman who is captured is completely terrifying. To give and example look at group such as ISIS, who have cut off the heads of Christian children and captured Nigerian school girls. Women will be targeted and men will risk their lives at all costs to save women because this is America.

4. Standards will be lowered.

-Women are generally weaker than men. When huge number of women are in the military you can guess that physical standards will be lowered in the name of group justice. The same "social justice warriors" who are pushing to register for Selective Service will be there counting every promotion and measuring enrollment of women in all positions, and there counting every promotion and measuring enrollment of women in all positions, and when the same number of women aren't promoted as men in combat, the "warriors" will "fix" by implementing quotas and lowering standards.

5. A majority of women oppose a mandate for women to register for Selective Service.

- According to a Rasmussen survey, only 38% of women agreed that women should register for selective service. Two reasons: One, the report surveyed women of all ages and not women who would potentially be mandated to serve if said draft were to be implemented, Two, the survey was taken earlier this month, a time when the draft was still dormant.

6. It's morally reprehensible.

- To sum it up in one line from a man who served this country: "The moral point that a country which sends its wives, mothers, sisters, and daughters into the meat grinder of combat has preemptively surrendered a vital portion of its own humanity."
