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

A nurse appeared in the doorway. "Johnny, your mother's here to see you." 
Johnny opened his eyes. At first they were wide with surprise, then they darkened. "I don’t want to see her," he said firmly. 
"I'm going to let her in anyways." 
"NOOOOO!!!" Then Johnny grabbed a bottle and threw it at her and then the blood poured on her face.
"what were you thinking idiot do you know what you just did" Ponyboy said.
minutes later Johnny's mom comes in "what were you thinking you could of died" she grabs Johnny by the arm and starts slapping him and beats him intill he is knock out cold. Police officers come and take her away she yells " I hope you know what you have done Johnny.
