He was injured from the fire by saves those kids. A few days ago, he did not make it and passes away from us. This year, his only 16 years old. Johnny was a hero and I respected him. To us he was brave enough to save people’s lives. I was remembered when he saves the children from a brock, old church from the fires. He did not think of anything that was possible can happens to him. One thing he's only cares about being those kids in a dangerous situation, they possibly could dies for some how. He ran into the church and picked up the kids out of the fires church. After, he saves a few kids, Johnny needed to be gotten out the church but he did not do this. He went back and saw some kids still in the corn of the church, but at that time, the church would fall at any minute. Finally, saves all the kids, the church fall and Johnny got hit on his back. Even he in the hospital, but he still injury very bad. Later, our Johnny became a hero and left us forever.

Unfortunately his parents did not love him as much as other parents do to their kids, but he's had the greasers to be his family. He was the pet of the greasers. Especial, Dallas and Ponyboy were loved him the most. Johnny was also loved the greasers and kind to all them. He was loyal to all the greasers in his life. When his friends needed help, he helped them and listen to them. I remember when the social trying to kill his friends, Ponyboy. Johnny does everything to save him from not being hurt. His also did not like fighting, because fighting is not good for them. That was what Johnny tried to do not
He is smart, and gets good grades in school. This is purposefully mentioned several times within the story, and people tend to be surprised to learn that he is a Greaser. In addition, some Greasers are nicer than people tend to think. When the church burned down, Ponyboy and Johnny run in to save the children without a second thought. They acted with selflessness, putting the safety of the children above their own. In the ambulance on the way to the hospital, Ponyboy is asked if he and Johnny are "professional heroes". He responds by telling the entire story of how they're Greasers and Johnny is wanted for murder, shocking the man in the ambulance. It is difficult for him to believe that a group of Greasers would do something so heroic. Johnny dies as a direct result of their actions, but neither Ponyboy nor Johnny regretted what they
The death of Johnny is a noble death. He dies from saving children and also Ponyboy. His death means something. Near the end of the story, he is still looking out for Ponyboy, telling him to “‘stay gold’”(148) and writing him the letter. Ponyboy says “Johnny was right. He died gallantly” (154). He dies still thinking of other people, he dies a hero. Conversely, Dally dies selfishly and only looking out for himself. He dies under the street lamp, happy with how things turn out, while Johnny dies in a bed, scared and wishing he had done more. Ponyboy says ¨Dally didn't die a hero. He died violent and young and desperate¨ (154). He does not die peacefully like Johnny, he dies a harsh death, just because he breaks for not being a hero like Johnny. Ponyboy and the rest of the gang all know he would someday die like this. Ponyboy went on to saying ¨two friends of mine had died that night, one a hero, the other a hoodlum¨ (154). Their death shows a clear difference between Johnny and
“A hero is someone who helps those in need and does not expect people to applaud or reward them for it”. A Greaser will always be a Greaser their convention is different than the Soc’s; they stick together, they support each other in hard times and they help each other; Johnny, Dally and Ponyboy are the three main Greasers and three unlikely heroes in the novel. They achieved this state by saving people's’ lives, help those in need, showing care and standing up for each other.
In the beginning of the novel, Johnny is an arrogant, pretentious, self-centered boy who cares only for himself. His experiences in the book shape him into a better person and role-model by the end of the story. In the movie, Johnny is portrayed as a compassionate boy from the start. He is given no character development. Esther Forbes took the time to incorporate all of Johnny’s feelings, hardships, and grudges. Johnny was the perfect example of how time can change a person in the book, while Johnny in the movie makes watchers think that you have to be perfect from the start. Johnny’s depiction influenced the overall message of the movie in this way. Johnny Tremain as a novel is a great story because it teaches how sometimes you need to forget your fears and stand up for what is right, but also it is okay to be afraid as well. Johnny Tremain by Disney jumps right into the heroics, without giving Johnny a chance to
Facts: Chet is basically Gene's only real competition in school for valedictorian but Chet doesn't really notice it as competition because his love of learning is so sincere. Also, he is amazing as tennis and playing the trumpet, and was even asked by Finny to play at their winter get together when the band can't come.
He could do tasks even though he was a cripple. He finally had a job that he could do without one hand which also made him feel independent. Another event that transformed Johnny's life was the revolutionary war and the events leading up to it. For example, the Boston tea party affected Johnny and his transformation greatly. That was Johnny's first real time to see what could happen.
“We’re goin to turn ourselves in.” Johnny said this as he had decided he didn’t want to be on the run any more, after he had killed Bob, and ran away with Ponyboy. Dally found them, starving in the church and took them out to lunch where they all were caught up on what has happened, when suddenly, Johnny announced he wanted to go to the police on page 87. This shows how Johnny knows what is best in a situation and will do the right thing in the end, even if it means he might go to prison. Johnny always seemed to know what he was doing, however much it scares him. They had planned out how they were going to go to the police, and what to say, and what to leave out. Everyone had to agree on how much they would tell the police to make sure that only the people involved would get any consequences. I think this proves how Johnny always puts others before himself.
"Get Out"-pg.79) This shows courage, bravery, empathy, and selflessness. One of the traits of a selfless person is the ability to put others first, as he saved Ponyboy and those kids despite the health hazards. People are what matter to Johnny. The children that needed saving are just like how Johnny needed saving from his abusive parents. He shows empathy as he knows how it feels to afraid, and doesn’t want the kids to be afraid like he was before. It is also very brave and courageous to go into a frightening, burning building just to save people. Another act of heroism Johnny demonstrates is when he stands up to Dally("Leave her alone Dally"-pg.22) This an courageous act. A hero is someone who steps up for others and Johnny steps up when Dally is harassing those girls. Dally is known to be unfriendly, mean and hostile, despite this, Johnny isn't afraid to tell Dally to stop. Johnny is a hero and is an amazing example of a hero, as anyone can be
Even though he was a skilled worker, he was proud, and full of arrogance. But after his terrible tragedy, his rude character died in the birth and death room, and Johnny was reborn as a more patient and caring person. He still won't take pity from anyone, but on the inside he is probably crying out for help. Although he has no one to talk to, he does have special talents that help keep him going strong.
...t like the rest of the Greasers he wouldn’t kill or nothing no matter what. They could of said Johnny not no killer but don’t push him because he will go off but instead they made it seem like he was a kid that lived in a household that didn’t care about him and that he was a punk and never stood up for himself.
..., even by Ponyboy, who is the youngest of the group and two years younger than Johnny. Dally, the toughest and the meanest guy in The Greasers, is Johnny’s idol and seeing how he acts in situations probably influenced Johnny’s choice of action. Watching these bigger guys close in on him and Ponyboy being drowned, he was probably thinking, ‘what would Dally do what would Dally do?’ So he did what he thought Dally would do he pulled out the knife and stabbed Bob Sheldon so he would have extra hands helping him to fight off the rest of the guys, but that did not happen because they ran off in fear of Johnny.
In The Outsiders it is given that through faith and devotion to one another Ponyboy and the gang use their close friendship in troublesome situations for instance when Johnny tells Ponyboy “i had to” he does this as an act of loyalty to Ponyboy to show him that he can trust him no matter what situation they are in. Most of the story is told from first person or Ponies perspective which shows us without exception every aspect of the story. When Johnny dies at the end of the book Ponyboy only then realizes the importance of him, and the gangs need for someone like Johnny to give them a sense of purpose after mentioning “we couldn't get along without him . We needed Johnny as much as he needed the gang.” Throughout all of Ponyboys hardships Johnny was always there to support him even when Ponyboy wanted to run away after darry slapped him, he never asked any questions.
...nny passed away a piece of each Greasers heart passed away as well. Ponyboy who usually aced his classes was lucky to get a C on assignments after Johnny deceased. He dazed off during classes and thought about the gang, mainly Johnny. While Dallas completely lost his mind when Johnny died. Dallas robbed a store to make sure the police followed him. He had made the bold decision to pull out his unloaded gun when he was surrounded by police officers. Dally new that once he pulled out his gun, his life was going to end. Dally had no reasons to stay alive since the only person he actually cared about passed away. Johnny spiritually gave Dally the courage and determination he needed to get through everyday when he was still alive. In other words, the loss and grief their group of Greasers underwent was what made all the boys make illogical decisions.
Christopher Johnson McCandless, a.k.a Alexander Supertramp, “Master of his Own Destiny.” He was an intelligent young man who presented himself as alone but really he was never lonely. However, he believed that life was better lived alone, with nature, so he ventured off throughout western United States before setting off into Alaska’s wild unprepared where he died. Some may say he was naive to go off on such a mission without the proper food and equipment but he was living life the way he wanted to and during his travels he came across three people: Jan Burres, Ronald Franz, and Wayne Westerberg. McCandless befriended these people, it is believed that he made such a strong impression on them that their connection left them with strange feelings after finding out about McCandless’ death.
Johnny and Dally are both very contrasting characters in the book; however they do have their similarities. Also, they both look up to each other. In the novel, Johnny is the character that reflects sensitivity and weakness. Johnny is constantly beaten by his father and is ignored by his mother. He has lost many things in life that others may take for granted. A quote from the novel describes Johnny as a “dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers” on page fourteen. Johnny’s soft and delicate personality is evident in that statement, especially when he is referred to a “puppy”. The image of a puppy implies vulnerability, a reflection on Johnny’s personality. Whereas Johnny is the vulnerable spot in the Greasers, Dally is on the other hand, the exact opposite. Dally is cold-hearted and hard, and plays the character of the devil in the novel. A quote from the book describes Dally’s eyes as “blue, blazing ice, cold with the hatred of the whole world” on page fourteen. This quote describes Dally as a cold character, and refers to the fact that Dally has seen many more hardships in his life than happiness. You can see that Johnny and Dally are both very different.
