Johnny's Growing Up Means: A Narrative Fiction

This is apparent when Two-Bit said he wondered why Johnny and Ponyboy were such good friends because neither of them talked. On page 39, it says “You must make such interesting conversation, Ponyboy keeping his mouth and you not saying anything.” This shows that Johnny is quiet and doesn’t talk much. Another example is when he was with Ponyboy at the movie and they were sitting by the Soc girls and he was being quiet. On page 24, it says Johnny managed a shy “Hi” to the girls and tried to watch the movie. This means Johnny was quiet and always nervous around strangers. As you can see Johnny is extremely quiet and doesn’t say much around

On page 11, it says, “He had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes, and that beating he got from the Socs didn't help matters.” (S.E.Hinton) This explains that Johnny knew when something bad was going to happen to him because he had already been beaten up before and he was still very fragile from it. On page 22, its states, “Johnny was always nervous around strangers.” (S.E.Hinton) This means that everyone could tell that he was nervous around people because he would act different and he would also act shy,the gang could tell to but they knew that was how he always had

She’s probably come to tell me about all the trouble I’m causing her and about how glad her and the old man’ll be when I’m dead.” This shows that Johnny’s mother doesn't deserve to see him because instead of thinking of Johnny, she instead only thinks about herself. Most parents are not liked by their children, but that is because the parents care too much. This is the opposite for Johnny’s mother, she is a selfish person, who doesn’t even care that her child is in the hospital, and that is wrong.

First of all, in chapter one they introduce all of the characters and they introduce Johnny like, ¨If you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll have Johnny. He had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes, and that beating he got from the Socs didn’t help matters. He was the gang’s pet, everyone’s kid brother. His father was always beating him up, and his

This caused Johnny to be severely depressed all the time, and made his life more miserable than it already

Johnny himself was basically protecting the universe and in doing so lost his mind. Even when he is returned to a reset Earth with his “sanity” he is still shown to be crazy through one of his first thoughts being to cut off a cheerleaders legs. The overall events that occurred left an irreversible scar on his psyche and he continues to act as before for a while until the behavior steadily dwindles until he is ready to try to repress these psychotic

Johnny was like a brother

him into staying but Johnny had already made his mind up. When Johnny got home he seen

“Yeah, I’ve seen a number of their graves in the cemetery.” I admitted as I looked up at the crow that was now back circling in the sky above us. “I guess a lot of kids have died around here, huh? But, you can’t blame that on a girl who lived close to three hundred years ago. Places got hit by diseases all the time back then, dysentery, cholera, measles, mumps, small pox, bad water, stuff like that. Things back then weren’t like they are today.”

I think that Johnny in the book would never want to socialize with anyone he didn’t have

Those big,black eyes of Johnny’s always seemed to glow with anxiety and terror. The constant resentment that came from his parent’s broke him badly, yet he was understanding when it came to us and our problems no matter how petty the situation was. Never criticizing us or telling us to “deal with it”, as he had to live with something much worse at home. He had a kindhearted spirit

You have a roof over your head, a family to take care of. “I have no family.” How would you feel if your idol left you to die, that’s how Johnny will feel. Who will you go to? “I’ll go someplace no one can find me” Are we just here to supply you with whatever you need then you leave us?

Over the course the next three years Johnny spent most of his time working out in the fields and going to church. He continued to miss his parents more and more and visit the spot more and more prayed to the God almost every hour of the day that he would be able to reunite with his parents. Johnny had lost all communications with his former classmates but he didn't give a damn that he did.

This quote is from the scene of the fire at the church, when Johnny was putting his life on the line to save the children. With no regard or concern for his safety,he stayed inside the burning building until every last child was out of the burning building. "Johnny wasn't behaving at all like his old self", he was more brave, brave enough to risk his life so that he could save others. I never expected to see this side of Johnny, I never even knew that it existed. Johnny is in critical condition now and it's a matter of life or death,will he make it? Either way, he'll be a hero.

I was putting my things in my locker when I heard Austin approach me. "Hey, uh, soo, um how's your day going?" He said as he rubbed the back of his neck. "Not as great as yours is going." I said with a fake smile. "Uh, nono um let me explain. L-look, if you're gonna tell Laur-" I cut him off before he could finish. "N-no I-I'm not gonna tell her, I'm not gonna tell ANYONE. H-honestly I just, I wanna forget the whole thing, it was awkward and disturbing, an-" He cut me off this time continuing with his explanation. "Hey, look I'm not that guy okay. I mean yeah I did it, but I was gonna break up with Lauren th-" Austin got cut off again, but this time by Lauren herself. "Ooh, I heard my name." There she goes eating his face again. "What are you
