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.

"Jonny," the nurse said. "Your mom's here to see you." 
"No!" said Jonny. "I don’t want to see her."                  
"But you have to see her" said the nurse and she let his mom in.
"Why don’t you want to see me"? Jonny’s mom said.
"Because you never treated me good so why would you care now" said Jonny.
"We always cared about you Jonny it’s been a hard time right now" said Jonny’s mom
"So you do love me Jonny" said.

"Yes we always have why else would we have a kid if we didn’t like you"
Said Jonny’s mom.

"Jonny stared to cry but just a little. So when I feel better I can go home"?  

"Of course you can said Jonny’s mom you could have always come home".
