Figurative Language MetaphorsAuthors often use figurative language to make their writing interesting and more meaningful to the reader. One type of figurative language is the metaphor. A metaphor, stating that one thing is the other, makes a comparison between two unlike things. For example, Pony describes Dally's eyes in this way: "His eyes were blue, blazing ice..." Dally's eyes are being compared to ice because he looks at people coldly and with hate.
1. "Her words were sugar." Her words are being compared to sugar. What is being said about her words?
2. "It's raining cats and dogs." The rain is being compared to cats and dogs. What is being said about the rain?
3. "He is my fortress": To what is "He" being compared? What is being said about him?

Nothing Gold Can Stay
by Robert FrostNature's first green is gold,
Her hardest hue to hold.
Her early leaf's a flower;
But only so an hour.
Then leaf subsides to leaf.
So Eden sank to grief,
So dawn goes down to day.
Nothing gold can stay.
hue=
subsides=
Eden =
How did they "sink to grief"?
So = like, in the same way
1. What do you think Robert Frost is trying to say?
2. How does this poem apply to events/characters of the novel so far?
(What "gold" did Ponyboy have that didn't last?)
3. Is this supposed to be a sad poem? What makes you think so/not?

Frost makes the use of the metaphor to communicate his message about young people. He begins by writing that nature's first green, things such as new plants, trees, grass, and especially young people are gold.
4. Gold is precious and expensive metal. What comparison can be made between "nature's first green" and gold?
5. Another metaphor in Frost's poem is "Her early leaf's a flower." Explain how nature's "early leaf," or someone's youth, can be like a flower.
6. How is the youth of someone's life "gold"?
