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.

In class, we read 'The Outsiders' and I believe it should not be banned from schools and/or libraries.
 The book presents good messages for kids to learn. Such as dealing with loss, independency, etc.


 One reason someone wants to ban it is because of the drug use. Even though people and/or kids are surrounded by drugs and alcohol. It also romanticizes the idea of running away.




But other than that, its a great book.
