Johnny Tremain is the orphaned apprentice of a silversmith in Boston, Massachusetts, in 1773, a time of tension and uncertainty. He is the nephew of a very wealthy and powerful merchant named Jonathan Lyte, but that is a secret only known to Mr. Lapham’s daughter Priscilla. Before his mother died, she entrusts him with her christening cup, which proves his relation to the Lyte family, but she warns him never to go to his uncle, unless “God Himself has forsaken you.” When Johnny breaks the Sabbath while trying to fulfill an order his old master was not able to complete, he ends up burning his hand. After the accident, he is unable to move his right hand, and, therefore, he is no longer wanted as an apprentice. Since he cannot find a job,
There is no doubt that war is evil in every way. It is full of hatred and conflict and nothing comes out of it. It brings death, destruction, and the worst out of people. In a pacifistic yet desperate tone, Dalton Trumbo promotes anti-war ideals by explaining the life of a young soldier after he got affected by war in his novel Johnny Got His Gun. While some individuals’ point of view match with Trumbo’s, others may disagree with his reasoning. The controversial issue of the acceptance of war is talked about everybody, even popular artists. Some singers express their opinions on war via their songs, like George H. Cohan in his song “Over There (Johnny, Get Your Gun)”, and the band Metallica with their song “One”. Each sends different messages depending on the setting, their music’s genre, and diction used in the making of the lyrics.

Esther Forbes published Johnny Tremain in 1943, when the United States was in the middle of World War II, in which the United States and the United Kingdom ,yet another way to refer to Great Britain, were allies. But that's okay because Forbes makes it clear that England is not the real enemy but the real enemy is any government that threatens the liberty of its people or just doesn't stand up for them. So, in a roundabout way, Johnny Tremain is partly about the importance of workman's comp laws. Johnny Tremain, the book and the movie, were very different because of the events and the characters; and similar because of the plot, and timeline.

He’s Ponyboy’s best friend, he withstands beatings all the time, he’s like the entire gang’s little brother, he runs into a burning building to rescue small children much like a superhero, and then breaks his back and dies, much unlike a superhero. While in the hospital, Johnny laments about the fact that he’s dying. “I don’t want to die now. It ain’t long enough. Sixteen years ain’t long enough. I wouldn’t mind it so much if there wasn’t so much stuff I ain’t done yet and so many things I ain’t seen. It’s not fair (Hinton, pg. 121).” Johnny’s gold was when he went into that fiery church to save the trapped schoolchildren, but it left him when a beam fell onto his back. After a while of being confined to the hospital, he finally learns to accept his death. When he does pass, Johnny leaves Ponyboy his copy of “Gone With the Wind”. Inside is a note, describing how he decides that if him dying saves the lives of the kids, it was all worth it in the end. Much like a
Every individual comes to a point in their life in which they begin to swim away from the harbor their parents raised them in, and begin navigating their own life. Dalton Trumbo uniquely portrays the familiar concept of coming-of-age, within a passage from his novel Johnny Got His Gun, in which he depicts a son wanting to take a friend fishing instead of his father who has taken him annually during their camping trip. Trumbo gives insight into the internal turmoil that strikes when confronting ones parents about wanting to drift away from the anchor they’ve been for them. He clearly articulates his point, illustrating the flow in thought from tense to reflective using precise selection of detail, applying a shift in point of view, and naturalistic imagery.
One of the worst sayings in the entire English language is “opposites attract”. It is a cheap and “easy-way-out” excuse that uses the science of magnetism and energy to explain human emotions like love, and frankly, it is false. In romance, it is nearly impossible to be attracted to someone in a way that is not surface beauty if two people are just too different. Things like political views, food preferences, even sleeping patterns can be detrimental if they are too different. In saying that, it is easy to deduce that most people are not fond of the person they consider their “opposite”, and the same goes for characters in film or literature. For instance, in The Crucible by Arthur Miller, there are many examples of pairs that may seem like
