The Outsiders is about two groups of people that fight a lot, and “Nothing Gold can Stay” is about life. The theme of The Outsiders is divided community, and the theme of the poem is that nothing good can stay forever. The theme of chapter one is divided community. The soc’s like to jump the greasers. On page four, it says “I remembered Johnny- his face all cut up and bruised, and I remember how he had cried when we found him, half-conscious, in the corner lot.” This makes the greasers not like the soc's.
