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

“Hey Johnny”, Johnny’s mom says quietly.

‘Are you ok”, she said.

Johnny says” Why are you here, you never cared about me before”, he said.

She says “Johnny I’m sorry that I haven’t been there for you”, she said.

“You say that now, now that I might die”, Johnny said.

“Get out of here”, Johnny said.

So Johnny’s ran out the door crying and Johnny passed out cold

and Two-bit and Ponyboy leaves and Two-bit told Johnny’s mom

“You drunk your not Johnny’s mom you drunk”.

Two-bit started to cry and Ponyboy said “Come on Two-bit lets go”.

The nurse said “Johnny are you ok kid.”

Johnny was out cold for a couple hours.

But there was no sign of Johnny’s mom after he yelled at his mom.
