Answer: When Johnny said that to him, he meant for him to stay innocent. He meant for Ponyboy not to go down a bad path like many of the other greasers did. It was a reference to the Robert Frost poem "Stay Gold". Ponyboy had recited the poem to Johnny when they were hiding out at the Windrixville church. In one line of the poem, it had said "Nothing gold can stay" meaning that all good things must come to an end. So he was telling him to stay gold or stay good. So if you think about it he was telling Ponyboy not to change.

In this paragraph from an interpretive literary analysis of William Shakespeare's Hamlet, the term <em>allusion</em> should be changed to the term <em>irony</em>.
This is a very common literary device where a state of affairs or events end up being the contrary to what the readers expect and often amazes the audience.
In this particular part of the play, Hamlet, who is supposed to kill Laertes with his sword, ends up being hurted and poisoned by his own sword. His lack of attention ends with his life at the same moment he ends Laerte's.
This is a very unexpected outcome because Hamlet was about to fulfill his will, but because of his inattention, the situation ends with his life as well.
