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 FROM SCHOOLS AND LIBRARIES?


      The Outsiders is a novel by S.E Hinton. the book follows two rival groups, the greasers and the socs, who, divided by their dissimilar socioeconomic status, hold on to what they can amid the turbulent social changes of the 1960's.

I think the Outsiders should not be banned from schools and libraries because despite the use of cigarettes and alcohol it is a great book that shows the troubles of many kids in the sixties. this book is very interesting and it gives kids the chance to learn that many kids have a hard time at home with many different reasons why. Also the book teaches children to not smoke and drink by showing what horrible things happen when drink and smoke.

Many people think the Outsiders should be banned from schools and libraries for many reasons. the most popular reason is the use of "drugs" and alcohol. The next reason is that virtually all the characters are from broken homes. Another reason is that there was a lot of gang violence and strong language. The last reason is that children are being exposed to things they are not prepared for and for it's "unchristian values"
