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.

            Some may say that The Outsiders was quite a controversial book when it was released, and it remains so today, that it talks about drugs and alcohol abuse and that it was common and virtually all the characters were from broken homes, that it has a portrayal of gang violence, underage drinking, strong language, slang usage, and expose on family dysfunction.

            The Outsiders actually is about  the Greasers and the Socs. they don't do drugs.
