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.

      The Outsiders by S.E. Hinton should not be banned from schools or libraries. I think that The Outsiders is a great book for young adults because it shows teenagers that even though there is always going to be social groups that at the end of the day they are all people and they are all the same. Its a book that almost anyone can relate to. This book brought me closer to my parents because it made me think that I could lose them at any time and to appreciate them while I can so that my brothers don't have to take care of me.
       Although some may say that this book should not be aloud at school because it shows kids doing drugs or alcohol abuse . However the main character describes why he doesn't like the taste of alcohol and why you shouldn't do any of it.
