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 "Johnny" she said quietly "your mother is here to see you". Johnny opened his eyes. At first they were wide and darken. "I don’t want to see her" he said finally.  
 
"She's your mother". The nurse stepped aside and his mom walk into the room, me and two bit didn’t know if we should stay or leave so we just stayed. 
 
 "Johnny?"she said with a really soft voice. Johnny stayed quiet. "Johnny how are you feeling?" she asked.  
 
"why do u care you are never worried about me any other time, why don’t you just leave?", he said with a really mad voice. 
 
"No I'm not leaving I am staying here with you". By the way she just said that all three of us knew that she was not leaving. 
 
"Leave me alone I don’t want to talk to you, I don’t want to look at you, I don’t even want to touch you".  
By the time he said that she walk over to us. "this is all your guys fault, if he would not of been hanging with you hoodlums, than none of this would of happened".  
 
Two bit and I just look at each other, than two bit said something to her. "you think its our fault because u cant look out for your own son, so you blame it on us" he said with a little giggle.  
 
She just looked at tow bit and walked to Johnny's bed and look at Johnny and left the room.
