Title

Another way they compare each other is there is always tomorrow you might make tomorrow wonderful or you might improve the things that you did yesterday to make this day much better than yesterday or it might get worse, but you will learn each day about your mistakes and it might not be you making the mistakes it might be people that you are hanging around with or someone that’s around you. In “Nothing gold can stay “ it states “dawn goes down today” and what I think what that means is that today was a day that was something out there tomorrow will be more extraordinary. In “Outsiders” it states that “Ponyboy and two gang members went to a drive in movie” I thought that this was one of the quotes that I found because yesterday ponyboy got beat up and today for him was the next day and he went to a move with his two gang and I thought that that was a good idea because he learned his lesson that he will never see those people or hang out in that area that he went yesterday and this is compared to the poem because ponyboy because Ponyboy went to the movies to make his day not to be a problem and go to the movie. In conclusion there is always tomorrow life isn 't always going to be spent in one day, maybe tomorrow you improve things, avoid people that are not that good, or maybe

Both poems include comparisons in the form of similes and metaphors to emphasize the significance of little moments that contrast the daze of average life. In “Golden Retrievals”, the speaker relates the dog’s bark to a resounding noise that brings his owner back to the present: “a Zen master’s bronzy gong, calls you here, / entirely, now: bow-wow…” (Doty 16-17).With a similar use of figurative language, the speaker of “Or Death and December” describes the wind in December as, “... a deuce-and-a-half, a six-by, a semi, / huge with a cold load of growls” before contradicting the unfavorable weather with a positive new experience with his puppy later in the poem (Garrett 11-12). Both utilize these figurative comparisons to provide more in-depth descriptions of the subject of the poem and connect them to their common theme. The comparison of the dog’s bark to a “bronzy gong” in “Golden Retrievals” creates a meditative tone that then relates a calm and relaxed feeling to the present moment “here” and “entirely, now” emphasizing how remaining simply in the moment can bring forth positivity in daily life.

It is about how a gang of low-income teens, the Greasers, conflicts with another gang of wealthy teens, the Socs. By being loyal to each other, the Greasers have overcome most of the challenges that the Socs have proposed. This is why the major theme of The Outsiders is that loyalty is essential for a group’s survival and well-being. One way that loyalty is demonstrated in the novel is how the characters grouped together to protect one another from physical threats. An example of this is when Ponyboy was mugged and beat up by the Socs at the beginning the book.

The main message of the poem is made by telling the reader to “expect nothing” from the world but become a stranger to sameness by expressing oneself. A person can be content when he/she does not anticipate that the world owes him/her anything. The second stanza starts off by saying, “[w]ish for nothing larger [t]han your own small heart” (10,11). A person must not be something that he/she truly is not. In order to achieve one’s calling, a person must look to what he/she has been given and use it, therefore being an individual calls for a person to connect to his/her own heart.
