Character Analysis Of Johnny Cade In The Outsiders

Johnny , Ponyboy and Dallas also possessed specific interpersonal skills like openness and empathy which can be clearly seen in the scenes where they rescue the kids from the burning church without thinking about the consequences. They valued others life more than theirs that they were ready to sacrifice their own lives for saving the children. Their selfless sacrifice is evident in the scene, where while turning the pages of Johnny's copy of ‘Gone with the Wind’, Ponyboy finds a letter from Johnny saying that saving the children was worth sacrificing his own life. To conclude, the story of ‘The Outsiders’ is inspiring and it contains violence and strong language. I think its themes and conflicts are highly valuable as they still address many of the issues in the modern world. This film’s realistic portrayal has created a new kind of filmmaking which portrays poor teenagers from the wrong side of the tracks .I feel it is an easier way to lead the new generation in the right track through this effective form of communication. The movie also uses various elements and principles of interpersonal communication in many scenes. It would be a good action movie for the young generation to watch as they are mainly related to the realities rather than fantasy that

In the beginning of the novel, we learn about Johnny Cade - a quiet boy who is haunted by his past. A short time ago, Johnny was beaten senseless by a bunch

People are often judged upon their traits. If willed, these traits can improve, leaving the person with a better overall personality. One of the more pronounced character examples is the character Johnny, in the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton. The book follows the story of a battle between rich, West-side social clubs and poor, East-side gangs. Johnny is a part of the gang from the wrong side of the tracks. He is abused and always has a defeated look in his eye, but even Johnny can change. Throughout the novel Johnny is scared, brave, and accepting. Johnny goes through tremendous change throughout the novel.

In the novel The Outsiders by S.E. HINTON the main character Ponyboy’s identity changes multiple times over the text. In the beginning of the story Ponyboy was introduced as a greaser, a greaser is someone who is usually poorer than the middle class and like to screw around and start gang fights and they are considered hoods as stated on pages 2-3, “We’re poorer than the Socs and the middle class. I reckon we’re wilder, too. Not like the Socs, who jump greasers and wreck houses and throw beer blasts for kicks, and get editorials in the paper for being a public disgrace almost like hoods.” this shows that even though the Socs are much more wild the greasers are still considered the bad crazy hood people. Ponyboy didn’t like being a greaser

Can you imagine the guilt and heroism? The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton is about the fighting between the Socs and Greasers, which takes place in Oklahoma. It tells the story of the struggles among the groups and what they think is right and wrong with society. One character that stands out in the story is Johnny, because he is a dynamic character who changes from being shy and quiet, to being a hero and a round character because he has many personality traits such as being shy, quiet, and heroic. Johnny can be described as scared, quiet, and heroic.

I am discussing the book the outsiders by S.E Hinton and analyzing the impact violence has on the main characters. My main aim of this essay is to assess and demonstrating the emotional and physical damage to the characters Johnny, bob and Dally caused by violence.

In The Outsiders, Johnny and Darry find themselves struggling with the stereotype society has labeled them with. While in the park, Johnny and his friend Ponyboy are jumped by five Socs. Unexpectedly, Johnny stands up for himself and protects his friend. On page 56, the text states, “‘I killed him,’ he said slowly. ‘I killed that boy’. Bob the handsome Soc, was lying there in the moonlight, doubled up and still.” This demonstrates that although Johnny is considered a timid and innocent person, he proves that how he acts in the gang is different from how he acts in the outside world. This is unexpected because Johnny is always the one being cared for in the gang. However, he protected his friend by killing someone. Johnny’s actions prove that our assumptions about others are wrong. This matters because society needs to realize that based on stereotypes, we incorrectly judge others before getting to know them. Johnny is a clear example of what happens when one is judged based on assumptions. Another example of this theme is reflected when Darry breaks down at a hospital after finding out that his younger brother, Ponyboy, is going to be okay. On pages 98-99, the text states, “‘Darry,

Have you ever seen a gang? If so, did you judge them on how they looked or how they acted? Did you think they were dangerous? Most importantly, were you scared of them? In The Outsiders Pony boy is the main character. He grew up in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the mid-1960. In this novel, the author S.E. Hinton tells how Ponyboy Curtis grows up. Dally was a flat character because we only see one side of him. He is also dynamic as he changes from being tough in the beginning and caring in the end. Well, Dallas (Dally) Winston was tough, heroic, and caring.

Johnny is represented in the novel The Outsiders by S.E. Hilton, published in 1967, as shy and anxious, however is later shown to be brave and courageous, giving himself up to save others. Johnny is seen as honourable and as a protagonist, only committing crimes, such as murder, to protect himself and his best friends. This helps the readers interact with the novel because it shows the stress of being a greaser, and how the greasers have a difficult life, being attacked on the streets and abused at home. This is made evident through his dialogue, action and reactions. It represents the key theme in the novel of brotherhood and the gang because Johnny shares a closer bond with his friends, the greasers, than he does with his parents.

Johnny Cade in the story of the outsiders is described as the gang’s pet who has been through so much in life only at the age of 16. He’s been kicked out too many times and has already faced the cruelty of reality. When saving the kids from the burning down church Johnny has a piece wood with fire on it fall on him. Making it impossible to move or heal every again. I think Johnny never gave up on his innocent but, he became age when he saved the kids from the burning down church.

“‘I killed him,’ he said slowly. ‘I killed that boy’” (Hinton 56). In the book The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton, they talk about a boy named Johnny that killed a boy, and the growth of a child named Ponyboy. Johhnny Cade has many names. To live on the rundown section of Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the 1960’s you are not expected to be wealthy or to have an emotional attachment to things. That is what the Greaser’s were; they jumped, stole, and went to jail. People would never expect them to be educated or that somebody loves them. The Greasers were all there for each other, they loved one another like family. This boy, his family is the gang. From the backgrounds that Johnny grows up in, you can see why the names given to him. These titles are not just words. They explain who he is. Suspicious, damaged, and a hero are all labels to describe Johnny Cade.

Johnny Cade comes from a broken home, his dad hits him, his mom does not care about Johnny, the only thing he has are his friends, the greasers. Ponyboy, one of his closest friends, is talking about everyone in the gang and when he came to Johnny he said, “Johnny had it awful rough at home”(4). Johnny unlike everyone else in the gang, except Dally, does not have someone in his family that truly cares for him. This affects him because it makes him upset that his parents do not care for him. If Johnny did not have it so hard at home, he would be more content and joyful, and even less scared. Johnny is a little bothered that his parents did not ask about Johnny so Dally goes on and says, “‘my old man don’t give a hang whether i’m in jail or dead in a car wreck or drunk in the gutter’” (88). When Dally is 10, he gets arrested and is on the streets of New York, which shows how little Dally’s father cares about him. Maybe if his father did care, Dally would be more kind and caring, and like Johnny, more joyful. If Dally’s dad cared, he may still be living with his parents and would not be a greaser. Dally and Johnny are

How can two people whose situation, social class, or even same group of friends be so contrastive from each other? How can a sensitive, selfless little boy have anything alike with a cold, mean, tough young man who has lost his purpose in life? As nonviable as it seems, there are such characters in S.E Hinton’s novel The Outsiders. Dally Winston and Johnny Cade are similar because they both have neglective parents and place very little on their own lives. Regardless these similarities, Dally and Johnny both have diverse personalities and police records. Thus, Dallas Winston and Johnny Cade have vast differences in their lives, yet they also have notable similarities.

Picture having a mother who does not care and is neglectful. Imagine getting shot by cops or burned in a fire. Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston, two characters from S.E. Hinton’s The Outsiders, are similar in some ways and different in others. Johnny and Dally have similarities as they both have abusive, neglectful parents and place little value on their lives. Despite these similarities they also have differences as they give different advice to Ponyboy another greaser from The Outsiders before Johnny dies a hero and Dally dies a Gallant. In the end Johnny and Dally have similarities and differences.

Johnny Cade, from the book The Outsiders, is a small and meek boy. johnny is a part of the gang the Greasers. The greasers are enemies with the other gang “The Socs”. In the book, the main character Ponyboy, who
