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 appeared in the doorway. “Johnny,” she said quietly, “your mother is here to see you.” Johnny opened his eyes. At first they were wide with surprise, and then they darkened. “I don’t want to see her,”

            “She’s your mother.”

            “Well I’m letting her in anyway its not healthy to have a bad relationship with your mother.” The nurse said. As she walked in Johnny actually noticed she might have been crying. "Could It be possible that she actually was worried for me"? I felt like someone actually wanted me. she walked up to my bed and stood in silence for a good 30 seconds. She told me that she was proud of me. She was sorry for everything she had put me through. I just thought wow so she did care for me just a little.
