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.

Johnny  was  laying down in the bed, when the nurse opens the door

And someone says “Johnny.” Johnny try’s to sit up. But he knows he don’t need to he knows,

his mothers voice.  Johnny gets upset what are you doing here you never cared for me. All you do is yell at me and drink. And you never cared when I got jumped by the Socs. And u don’t care If I’m out late!

Why do you care now? When have you ever cared? “Johnny” his mother says why do you always get into trouble? Why don’t you just be a good boy! Johnny yells “I am good, I rarely get into any trouble. Maybe if you would just stop drinking for once and realize I am good.” Johnny gets so upset he passes out cold.

    You are very random with your use of quotation marks. Please put all of your dialogue in quotes. Anytime a person is saying something out loud, it should be in quotation marks. Go back and correct your quotation marks and your sentences. Read it out loud to yourself or a friend and fix the parts that don't sound right. *try's should be tries.
