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
 
I believe that the outsiders are somewhat both inappropriate and appropriate. It is inappropriate because there is a lot of violence, cigarettes, and alcohol. S.E Hinton made this book for a school assignment so she didn’t include a lot of inappropriate things because she wasn’t allowed to. I believe it is appropriate because it teaches kids about the outside world and there are people that have to steal to get around in the world. If you’re in elementary school you shouldn’t read this book. If you’re in middle school in my opinion you are ready for this book.
