Assignment

Your Task: Rewrite the hospital scene where Johnny's mother comes to visit. In your version, the nurse does not turn her away, but lets her in the room. Imagine Johnny's reaction. What would Johnny's mother say to him? What would Johnny say to her?

You are writing part of a narrative, not a script. Sentences, punctuation, and paragraphs should appear the way it would in a book. Use the book or passage above as an example. Pay special attention to the dialogue and how the author starts a new paragraph each time she changes speakers.

   A nurse appeared in the doorway, and behind her was Johnny's mother . Johnny began to panic and yell at the nurse telling her "don't let her in ! don't do it please" . The nurse couldn't do anything more but let her in . once Johnny saw his mom it really hit him, how much he really hated her everything she put him through he was furious and all he wanted to do was hit her . Full of anger he asked " why are you even here?" she remained quiet and her eyes began to tear " what are you here to tell me I deserve this? you never cared why are you here all of the sudden?" His mother full of anger back handed him across his face "you don't talk to me like that you hoodlum piece of trash " . Johnny has had enough he had no choice but to defend himself he got up and took a swing at his mother he missed and quickly fell to the ground and passed out cold  . The nurses quickly rushed into the room and the police got ahold of his mother kicking her out as Johnny lye there . The doctors trying all they could but Johnny gave no response .
