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 opened the door. 'Johnny,'' she said quietly, ''Your mother wants to see you''
  Johnny shook and froze seeing his mother in his sight. ‘‘Why so scared my son'' His mother said,
''I am your mother and should be allowed to see you’’
Johnny was terrified to see his mother. ‘’just please leave me alone, please’’ Johnny yelled, Johnny wondered why his mother even showed up or even bothered to come? Why did she want? He was already dying so what was the point, for her to come and yell and beat him to maybe his own death on the bed
‘’me and your father was worried sick’’ His mother said angrily,

Johnny laid there and cried and cried and hopefully waiting for his death to come while his mother was talking.
