Analyzing Mood and Tone in "Nothing Gold Can Stay"-The Outsiders

We will be analyzing both the poem "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by Robert Frost  and the scene in The Outsiders where the Ponyboy recites the poem.  Now we will watch the video clip from the movie to analyze the mood and tone.  How are they the same?  How do they differ? How does the camera angle contribute to the mood in the film?  How does the author's style contribute to the mood?  What are the emotions the director wanted the audience to feel?  What emotions did the author want to evoke in the reader?

Nothing Gold Can Stay

By Robert Frost

Nature'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.
