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's here to see you." 
   Johnny opened his eyes. At first they were wide with a surprise, then they darkened. "I don't want to see her," he said firmly.  " I mean ofcoure she was going to see me when I was in a hospital bed." Johnny said.
   " Hi johnny how are you doing and im very sorry that you're going through this." Johnnys mom said.
   "Going away I know you don't care, you only here cause im dying on a hospital bed" said johnny.
    " Johnny I do care." im very sorry that I haven't been a very good mother to you. I know I should be working on being better mother." she said.
    " GO AWAY MOM I DON'T WANT TO TALK TO YOU!" Johnny said screaming.
    " Okay fine, but I love you very much Johnny" She said
