    The whole conflict that lead to Bob dying started when Bob was beating up Ponyboy and Johnny disliked that. Also Johnny and Ponyboy are like friends so they stick up for each other, and help each other. They are in the same “gang” and that's what gangs do. After Johnny had enough of Bob beating up Ponyboy he came up behind Bob and stabbed him. Johnny really didn't have a choice on harming Bob because it looked like Bob was going to kill Ponyboy if Johnny didn't do anything.

    The pilot outlines Johnny’s rise in the criminal world and eventually ends with him joining Al Capone. While the current series of events are well written, the main concern about the structure is that the most interesting element of the pilot is the idea of Johnny joining Capone. Thus, consider enhancing the pace and restructuring the pilot to get to the hook much sooner. The audience is more interested in him working wit Capone. Show the producers what the series is really going to look like.…

    Johnny can stay away from home for long periods of time and neither of his parents seem to care or notice. Even though Johnny has bad role models, he's tries to stand up and be a good person. We’ve never see him being mean or mistreating others. He even challenges his idol, Dallas, when he sees how uncomfortable Dallas was is making Cherry and Marcia at the movies on pages 24. To make things even worse, Johnny was brutally beaten by the Socs last spring and now lives in a constant state of fear. On top of that, he doesn't quite get enough to eat, he often sleeps outdoors, and is even contemplating suicide. After Johnny saved the children from the fire, he seems to be saying that he's come to terms with his death, because death was the price he had to pay to regain some of the innocence he'd lost. Being involved in so much violence, in some ways it probably made him feel pure. He would prefer to live, even though he's probably more scared to live than to die, because he can see that there is good in the world, and that he's been a part of it. Johnny is a remarkable young teenager that went about his daily life with great…

    It’s surprising that Ponyboy described Johnny as looking as cool as Darry ever had because before he called him a puppy that was lost, everyone’s “kid brother” and the Gang’s “pet.” He really was pushed over the edge and couldn’t take any more of being silent and not taking action, if it wasn’t for him killing Bob, he and Ponyboy would both be…

    While the quote ”She would have been a good woman, . . . if it had been somebody there to shoot her every minute of her life” (133) critiques religion, it also presents a possible solution. If you have fear of God you can be a good christian, and that there is a chance for any person to be “good” and to go to Heaven; a nice situation for someone after they die. Another example of hope in the story is on page 130, when the grandmother told The Misfit that if he prayed Jesus would help him and The Misfit agreed with her, implying that He is always listening and willing to help you if you ask. Because O’Connor says that they are willing to help, she says that not every piece of religion is a burden or a rule and that faith is not just one way;…

    On Feb. 19, 2009, about a month after President Barack Obama’s first day on the job, CNBC host Rick Santelli railed against the President’s proposed bank bailout and stimulus package on the floor of the Chicago Mercantile Exchange calling it an effort to help those who did not, or could not, help themselves (Tea Party Movement, 2012). Santelli sanctioned “another tea party” similar to the American Revolution movement of the same name, and almost immediately, the movement gained momentum. By autumn, hundreds of Tea Party groups organized efforts in every state (Tea Party Movement, 2012). A year later, the movement influenced Republican party politics in the 2010 congressional elections (Tea Party Movement Evolves, 2012). With all the hype and candidate activities grabbing headlines for the past two years, the Tea Party Movement has fallen back to the shadows of the alleys that seldom get noticed. The goals of the movement initially were to remove Republican Party officials who were not living up to the conservative standards adopted by the movement and stop the Democratic economic policy supporters from carrying out the bailout plan. Although the Tea Party Movement was effective in 2009 and 2010 at trying to accomplish it’s goals, the lack of a substantive spokesman, little to not political pull, and sporadic support has watered down the efforts of the movement to an almost complete halt in 2012. Therefore, the Tea Partiers have lost their chance to evoke change in the government.…
