Johnny has had a rough life so far since both his parents never cared for him. His mother would abuse him verbally, and his father would abuse him physically and verbally.

This passage from Johnny Tremain, by Esther Forbes, demonstrates how the theme of the beginning of the book, develops the plot and mood. After the introduction, the reader can immediately see that Mr. Lapham believes in God and in his teachings. Due to his belief in God, he felt that Johnny’s pride would not be appreciated by God.

It described everything and the movie went too fast and left a lot of parts out. In the book we knew more about the people and what they liked to do. The movie didn’t really tell about the characters. The poem “Stay Gold” is a memory about Johnny because Johnny tells Ponyboy boy to “stay gold” which means stay young.

Three teams were believed to be behind these attacks. Instantly after the attacks, French police carried out hundreds of raids across the country in search of the suspects. This tragedy hurt, and touched every single heart in the world. The U.S. sent troops over for support, and to help Paris out. Carried throughout all social media, were messages and prayers going towards Paris (Paris Attacks;BBC News, 2015).
