Who Is Johnny In The Outsiders
Of all of the characters in The Outsiders I relate the most to Johnny because he is sweet and quiet, but when it comes to my friends I would do anything for them. I think Johnny and I connect to him because we come off as nice and would not hurt a fly, but everyone has something or someone they would die or kill for and Johnny and I would both kill for our friends. I think Johnny is so content because he has a lot of things happened to him though. Like someone jumped him and his parents are really mean to him. I don't have that in my life, well not as bad and nothing to do with my family. But a lot of things have happened to make me so quiet and content, like Johnny. All and all I think that I am very much like Johnny.

    Comparing Johnny And Dally In The Outsiders By S. E. Hinton

    How can people with such different personalities and ways of life have so much in common with one another? It seems nearly impossible for something to occur like that. Although, In S.E. Hinton’s novel The Outsiders two characters, Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston, are alike in some ways, but are also different in other ways. Johnny and Dallas are alike because they both have neglectful and abusive parents who do not care about them, and they care about each other. Although, they do have their differences like their personalities, and their thoughts on the laws. Dally and Johnny are very different, but it is clear that they are very similar in some ways.…

    Jeannine's Ordinary People

    I believe I would relate more to Jeannine from Ordinary people, because of the circumstances she had to go through. When her parents were getting separated, when she began to explain to Conrad it was clear that i had a connection with her character. When Jeannines parents got a divorce she had quite some trouble going through all the pain she felt alone, so she tried to find a way to hurt herself, she went on with a couple of kids in the neighborhood, began to smoke, and stealing. As she is telling Conrad about what actually happened in Ohio, she tells him the it wasn't her parents fault she was doing all those bad decisions, she explains that she was doing it to hurt herself. But she asks Conrad not to change a thing between them she doesn’t want him to…

    Dally And Johnny In The Outsiders

    How can two people with completely different personalities have so much alike? It is almost impossible, but in S.E. Hinton's novel The Outsiders, it is not possible. Johnny Cade and Dallas Winston are similar because both characters have uncaring parents and they care for each other. With all the similarities they have their many differences, Johnny is the most law abiding and Dally is the least and their personalities are nothing alike. Thus, Dallas and Johnny have significant similarities and huge differences.…

    Is Johnny Cade A Hero Essay

    With outstanding level of integrity, as well as rectitude despite a distressing home life, it would be justifiable to identify Johnny Cade in The Outsiders, as a hero. Although some may disagree with this statement by stating that Johnny could never be a hero simply because he killed Bob. However, we must remember the salient fact that when Ponyboy was being drowned in the park fountain by David, Johnny stabbed Bob on behalf of Ponyboy’s protection, despite the generally terrifying, and painful nature of an action that heinous. In addition, when the children were trapped in the burning church on Jay Mountain, Johnny ran to the rescue without hesitation, even if it meant putting his own life at risk for the benefit of others. Finally, and most importantly, when Johnny was dying in hospital, and did not have much time left before death, he did not try to feel sorry for himself, he instead said goodbye…

    Johnny Boy Character Analysis

    Collectively, my group decided on a central theme for the revised script: change. We wanted to focus on how every character went through some drastic change as the script progressed. We decided to start with Kate’s monologue. This monologue was a good way to introduce everyone in the play. It had a dual purpose by also showing Kate’s attitude and personality. In the script Kate says, “3,000 happy Christians, cornbread on every table, and a pickup truck in every front yard.” This line, with the right inflection from Reilly, conveyed how Kate was uppity and had a sense that she was better than the other girls. It helped develop her character and give the audience a sense of who she was.…
