Johnny Short Story

In the intriguing novel, Johnny Tremain by Esther Forbes a protagonist 16 year old Johnny, a young silversmith, worked on Hancock's Wharf in revolutionary era Boston. On Hancock's Wharf Johnny awoke to “rocky islands gulls woke … the first dead fish, first bits of garbage … the hens awake, scratching and chuckling”. Johnny was kicked out of his trade by a tragic accident, when Dove, another silversmith apprentice gave him a cracked crucible, and he burned his hand. Promptly after, his hand healed incorrectly and he was soon out on the streets of Boston looking for work.

He uses the shelter to protect him from the rain and some animals. After he builds the shelter, Brian uses his hatchet to make spears and arrows. He takes branches and sharpens the tip of them to make arrows and spears. "He had worked on the fish spear until it had become more then just a tool. He shoots the arrows at birds and throws the spears at fish. "I know about fire; I know I need fire." Brian says this the second night he's there. Brian needs a fire because he needs it for heat, to cook food and to keep animals away. Brian makes the fire with his hatchet and a rock. First, he figures out that he needs some paper so he takes his 20-dollar bill and tries to burn it. Unfortunately, the bill just burns right out and leaves him with no fire. After that, he takes his hatchet and cuts small pieces of bark. Then he piles them up under twigs. Then he takes his hatchet and hits a rock with a great blow and sparks catch the bark on fire. He hits another blow and the sparks catch the twigs on fire. Therefore, he has a fire. This process shows that whatever Brian sets his mind to he can do it. About two months later Brian went to the bottom of the lake to see if there was anything useful in the plane. He brought up a survival package. There were many useful things in there like bandages and matches. Couple months later, just before winter was going to hit a man shows up in a plane.

The main character in the book Cloaked by Alex Flinn is Johnny. He is crazy and he has a dynamic mindset. Johnny's trait is crazy because a princess asked him to find her brother that was turned into a frog, with the reward being a marriage to her. He works at a South Beach shoe repair shop to help him and his mother make ends meet until a princess arrives. Alorian princess Victoriana requests Johnny to go on an unbelievably silly expedition to find her brother, who was turned into a frog. My quote is “I mean, no, we haven’t heard of this particular frog. But it’s possible we might find out about him. There’s a great deal of connectivity between transformed beings. I’m told there’s even an e-group, though my siblings and I haven’t been able

Picking cotton was everyone’s job at the Cash house. Every morning he would have to get up, run outside, hurry and do his jobs so he could run to school on time. When he got out of school he would have to hurry back to the farm and continue to pick cotton, cut the logs, build a fence, or anything that was there for him to do. One day when Johnny was suppose to be helping his brother, Jack. He was cutting logs with the huge table saw and since he was doing it alone, he was so small that one of the logs caught on his overalls and drags him up to the blade.

Why I chose the topic Johnny Reeves is the best witness because he has seen and experienced the most in this story. I picked this because Johnny has been in the Klan, out of the Klan, and being prosecuted by the Klan. So to me that makes him the best witness because he has been on both sides of prosecuting people out of the Klan, and being prosecuted by the Klan.

1.) Johnny has several moments where his bravery in his character show. An obvious point about Johnny’s bravery is stabbing the Soc, Bob Sheldon. Johnny stabs Bob for an important reason, he needed to save Ponyboy from being drowned by the socs who jumped the two boys casually walking.

The quote by Huebner about war can be related to the messages that the three novels are trying to deliver. Johnny Got His Gun by Dalton Trumbo, The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah, and The Things They Carried by Tim O'Brien all discussed this sensitive issue which seemingly became a taboo because it has been constantly avoided as a topic. The novel, Johnny Got His Gun shows that the assertion of Huebner is true by taking the reader into the mind of a fallen soldier. It shows the negative implications of war, especially to people who have been involved in this practice. In one part of the novel, the speaker states, “Did anybody ever come back from the dead any single one of the millions who got killed did any one of them ever come back and say by god I’m glad I’m dead because death is always better than dishonor? (119)” Through this statement, the speaker was able to relay the point that sometimes, people say and do things just to glorify the effects of war even though in reality, this practice can already

Throughout reading Dalton Trumbo’s Johnny Got His Gun, isolation was another major theme that has made a powerful impact in his message about war. It builds upon the theme of the costs of war because it is an effect of everything that has happened to Joe since he ended up in the hospital bed. The author is trying to show people that there is no such thing as winning in war. There is only loss and the aftermath.

Johnny started walking to Long Wharf wanting to tell Rab that he was related to Merchant Lyte. But he needed to wait until he actually got welcomed to the Lyte family.

In Johnny’s entire struggle against his disease, he never faltered or lost the will to continue living life to the best he could. Reason was essentially the spark that kept Johnny going, to keep him curious about his condition, to motivate him to continue his studies and experiments. For a good fifteen months, he had been transferred from his home to multiple hospitals, yet he saw each visit or operation as a mere distraction from his studies rather than one step closer towards his imminent death. I agree with the quote that the story is focused on the struggle between reason and disruption. In the span of the book, I did not seem to pick up on reason versus violence, but after thinking about it, I concluded that this could mean how the disease
