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 "The Outsiders" the main protagonist is Ponyboy Curtis. A local gang member of The Greasers.
A Greasers life is pretty rough... They constantly getting jumped by their rival gang The Socs.


Some people want to ban this book because they think its to violent. There is use of tobacco and alcohol by mostly everyone in the book. Some say the book proposed fighting as the solution


However I think the book should not be banned, it teaches young kids what can happen if you choose the life of a "thug". Sure some kids should not be able to read the book but I don't think that the book should be banned for everyone.
