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.

Should The Outsiders be banned form schools or libraries?
I think they should not because The Outsiders is a theme in itself. Looking at life as an outsider and feeling as though one is being treated as an outsider is a matter of one's point of view. Teenagers typically consider themselves as adults, but in reality teens are still under control of others telling them how to live their lives.
The main character, Ponyboy sees injustice on a daily basis. His parents are dead, Darry works 2 jobs to support the brothers, Sodapop has dropped out of school and Greasers are looked upon as white trash.
People want to ban it because it provided drugs and violence
