Withers brought Johnny all the information that he needed to find his birth parents, and then left only leaving behind a trail of Wal-Mart shoes. Johnny was ecstatic.

Johnny connected the dots that Withers provided him with, and was able to get an address. Without thinking Johnny leaped into the sky, ready to meet his parents.

    Erik Erikson’s theory of psychosocial human development is one of the best known theories (Cherry, 2011). Erikson’s theory explains eight stages of human development, and in each stage an individual experiences a series of challenges and lessons. The eight stages of development includes infancy, early childhood, play age, school age, adolescence, early, middle, and late adulthood. A strong case can be made for each stage for why it is the most important stage in a person’s life but I believe early adulthood is the most important stage. In early adulthood, individuals develop into who they are and what they want to become. This paper will include the primary aspects of early adulthood, along with the cognitive, physical, and personality development. This paper will also include health, biological, and transition factors.…

    “Thinking back now I should have ditched it, and slipped off through the alleys and disappeared (Edrich 128).” Reading the story everyone knew he would not do something that smart and easy, he likes to complicate things and have more of an adventure. He sees a car pull into the parking lot and a man and wife get out and leaving it running. He thinks this is a great opportunity to get out of town and get out of the situation. He has no idea where he wants to go once he gets in the car and starts driving so he asks himself if he should go see his parents. This is the biggest clue as to where something went wrong in his childhood with him and his parents. “My parents. It’s not like I hate them or anything. I just can’t see them. I can close my eyes and form my sister’s face behind my eyelids, but not my parents faces (Edrich 128).” Whenever I read that I knew something went wrong in his childhood. They probably just showed more love to his sister than to him is what I got out of it. When he was younger he was probably compared to his for everything and never met up to those standards. So when he is in the car trying to go somewhere he does not want to show up in a stolen car to his parent’s house because they would not accept him there or help him out. As he continues to drive he discovers that there is a baby in the car that he has stolen. Now in every right persons mind they would at least pull over and give someone the baby and then continue to drive. Of course he continues to drive with the baby and does not even think about stopping. But, he does something that surprised me and showed true love for another human being something he is searching for. “There is a bottle of milk in a bag beside it. I put the end in its mouth and it sucks. But it will not hold the bottle. I keep putting the end in its hand and it…
