Golden Frienship

• Johnny: “Stay gold.”

   The quote that I am choosing to write a paragraph about is when Johnny says " Stay Gold Ponyboy". What Johnny is saying is that he wants Ponyboy to stay good and just to be himself and to not change in the future. An example is that Ponyboy used golden for his mom because she was beautiful and caring. Basically Johnny wants him to stay that way too.  To keep helping people and understand everyone. Johnny and Ponyboy's friendship was gold or golden because they saved the kids from the church, they took care of each other and understood each other. Johnny already knew that Ponyboy was golden and I think that Ponyboy might have not thought he was gold but Johnny knew he was and so he just wanted to tell Ponyboy that he was and to stay that way before he died.
