With Every Drop of Blood Book Summation

While at a movie theater, Dally is antagonizing and annoying several Soc girls. Johnny stands up to Dally, his hero, and states, “‘Leave her alone, Dally.’ ‘Huh?’ Dally was taken off guard. He stared at Johnny in disbelief. Johnny couldn't say ‘Boo’ to a goose. Johnny gulped and got a little pale, but he said, ‘You heard me. Leave her alone’” (24). It took all of Johnny’s bravery to stand up to his absolute idol. He was willing to stand up to a dangerous boy that could easily defeat him in a fight, to save others. Not only this, but when a church is burning down with children inside, Ponyboy states, ”Johnny wasn't behaving at all like his old self. ... he grinned at me. He wasn't scared either. That was the only time I can think of when I saw him without that defeated, suspicious look in his eyes” (92). Johnny gives his own life for kids who have futures. He charges into the church at full speed when necessary. Johnny becomes brave in the middle of the

Early in the book Johnny shows that he is shy. But also brave and not scared to stick up for his friends. The Socs jumped Johnny and Ponyboy. They started to drown Ponyboy. Johnny defended him by stabbing Bob. Later, Pony discussed with Johnny, “You really killed him, huh Johnny?’ ‘Yeah.’ his voice quavered slightly. ‘I had to they were drowning

Johnny’s parents are abusive and don’t treat him with any emotional or physical support. In the book a quote is “Johnny’s father was a drunk and his mother was a selfish slob”. The gang helps Johnny in a lot of ways another quote says “Johnny would have run away a million times if we hadn’t been there. If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would never

 Before he died, he was attacked by a Soc, Johnny almost died after the Soc attacked him but the Greasers came and saved him.  That is another reason why being with the Greasers is a life accomplishment because they help you when you need help.  Johnny is quiet, but when he needs to talks, he will talk when he is protecting someone.  The Greasers don’t scare him because he was attacked by a Soc and every time they scare him, he remembers what happened to him.  The Greasers think of Johnny as a lost puppy in a

    The narrator finds herself economically and emotionally dependent on her husband, John.  Many times she questions to herself why she stays in the room all of the time.  She then answers herself by saying, " John says it is good for me" (Gilman, 665).  She thinks of her husband as much wiser and more important than she, which is the way that society treated males during the time period the story was written.  During this era, women were discouraged from joining the work force and were thought to be better suited as a mother, and wife rather than an employee.   This is the common stereotype that women tried to overcome during the women's movement.

Johnny is not justified in what he did and is guilty because he had the intent to kill. Ponyboy talks about Johnny and the previous attack by saying, “He would kill the next person who jumped him. Nobody was ever going to beat him like that again. Not over his dead body…” (Hinton 34). This shows that Johnny was changed by the previous

He has different sides of his personality. One of those sides is caring. Even though he is as tough as a nail he can be a caring person, especially to Johnny. “ ‘you get hardened in jail. I don’t want that to happen to you. Like it happened to me…,’ ” he cares about Johnny. He doesn’t want Johnny to turn into someone like Dallas. He wants

However, with her alcoholic dad who rarely kept a job and her mother who suffered mood swings, they had to find food from her school garbage or eat expired food they had previously when they had the slightest bit of money. In addition, when bills and mortgage piled up, they would pack their bags and look for a new home to live in, if they could even call it a stable home, since they would be on the move so often. Jeanette needed a dad who wouldn’t disappear for days at a time, and a mom that was emotionally stable, but because she didn’t have that, she grew up in an environment where she would get teased or harassed for it. Jeanette suffered so much, that even at one point, she tried convincing her mother to leave her father because of the trouble he had caused the family already. A child should be able to depend on their parents for food and to be there for them when they need it, and when that part of a child’s security is taken away, it leaves them lost and on their own, free and confused about what to do next.

The first of the three reasons that John Brown became a violent protester to slavery are as follows. In his mind, John believed that he was fulfilling their struggle for freedom in terms of the revolutionary soldier and puritan that he had descended from (3). In other words, the fight was already in him, he was trying to do good because he already saw what the puritans had went through to achieve their freedom. It was in his blood so to speak. The second of the three reasons is that John believed that God had called him to make do this for the slaves. John Brown was a very religious man as it talks about him going to church and evening going as far as making his children write down their sins they committed in the day. (17) The third and final reason for John browns turn to violence is the fact that he did not believe that a non violent tactic would work against the pro slavery people. The massacre of Pottawatomie was a true example of what John Brown believed was the correct way to handle this problem of slavery.

Johnny Reeves knows what it is like to be prosecuted by the KKK sense he was kicked out of the Klan for being caught forcing himself on a school girl on page 113. The KKK was very important to Johnny Reeves, and without him being in the KKK the story would have been really different. Johnny Reeves had a lot of power in the story. You can see this when Johnny said, “it is up to us to lock our daughters until they learn to behave until we destroy in them the wanton of Satan.” (Witness page 21) How this shows Johnny Reeves power is because he is telling parents what to with their own kids. And they listen to him. Also Constable Johnson tried to stop Johnny Reeves from jumping off the bridge, and this shows us that Johnny was important to the people in the town or else they wouldn’t have cared if he jumped off the bridge or not, but instead they tried to talk him down. Johnny also uses his power to try to get his listeners to join him in his causes by saying stuff like “come

As Johnny grew into an adult he decides to leave home and join the military. While in the military he begins to writing songs and courting a hometown girl named Vivian Liberto. Johnny and Vivian’s courtship was quite different because Johnny was stationed in Germany, which made their courtship difficult. Vivian and Johnny continued to court through numerous letter writing and once Johnny got out of the military he decided to marry Vivian and attempt to begin his music career. However, his wife Vivian was having trouble adjusting to his dream.

wanted to hear, so he could get closure with himself. To go from thinking that his parents killed themselves because he is disabled, to know that they killed themselves for him. This made a huge difference to his view of life. It gave him the courage to set unlike, but not impossible goals, like dating Helen. We found that the noisy and annoying Johnny is a real and caring hero of the play. He risked his life swimming out to save Billy. At the beginning of the play, we see Johnny as the delivers of the “news”. After delivering his news, he asks for food as a way of payment. His life is to go around and tell everyone the news, it does it matter what kind of news it is. He also takes care of his alcoholic mom. He is the last person,

“But as Jenny pointed out,” Roy told Johnny the next day to make sure he understood their family still wanted him and loved him. “If anyone of us were in your place, we would be upset too. I mean, I may not see my mom or dad much, but I still have them. Your Aunt Jo still has her parents as well. Then, to wake up and realize you lost a lot of time, are somewhere you don’t know, well I don’t know if I could handle things as good as you.”

Johnny had his first job when he was seven years old. He was forced to become a man early. His family needed him to produce wages for them to survive. “He had become a man very early in his life, at the age of seven he drew wages which was a large responsibility.” (128) It was very rare for Johnny to see the light of day, he went to work before the sun rose and he came home late at night. “The stars had not yet begun to pale in the sky, and the city lay in blackness. ” (120) He became a faceless person in a crowd of workers who did this everyday. His time spent at the factory prevented him from becoming a real human being especially a child. Johnny almost acted like an old man, he was annoyed very easily by young children who were silly or were always playing around, this is because Johnny never had the chance to play games with friends or do anything fun. Johnny was always focused on work and nothing else so he never experienced a fun
