Description: As he lies dying in Chapter 9, Johnny Cade speaks these words to Ponyboy. “Stay gold” is a reference to the Robert Frost poem that Ponyboy recites to Johnny when the two hide out in the Windrixville Church. One line in the poem reads, “Nothing gold can stay,” meaning that all good things must come to an end. By the end of the novel, the boys apply this idea to youthful innocence, believing that they cannot remain forever unsullied by the harsh realities of life. Here, Johnny urges Ponyboy to remain gold, or innocent. Johnny now senses the uselessness of fighting; he knows that Ponyboy is better than the average hoodlum, and he wants Ponyboy to hold onto the golden qualities that set him apart from his companions.
Description: The Gold Room, or The Gold Ballroom is a large ballroom contained within the Overlook Hotel. The Red Bathroom is attached to the Gold Room. In the book, it was named The Colorado Lounge. The original name was used for the 1980 film's sitting room, which is a room where guests can relax and read or chat. The Gold Room is presumed to be the most haunted room in the hotel, besides Room 217/237.
