Jhonny: A True Hero

Decent Essays
What do you think of when you hear the word hero. Do you think of super heroes. Or do you think of fire fighters. Maybe you think of policemen. Think about it pharmetics save lives all the time just like other protectors of the city. The person that acted like a hero the most in the book was Jhonny.

Johnny did a lot of good things in the book that helped people out. Johnny stood up for the girls when dally was being rude to them. He got supplies for them when they were in the church. Johnny came up with a lot of good ideas in the book. Johnny came up with a way to not get caught by changing their hair.

Johnny was doing some brave things in this book. I can think of some like how socs were trying to drown pony and he stabbed one of them. The most brave thing he did in the book was run into a burning church to save kids he has never ment in his life. It was brave when he decided to turn himself in.

    I think the most important chapter is "Bad Boy". I think this chapter is the most important because it gives the backstory for the title. I think that this chapter shows how he struggled with his speech impediment and the anger it brought him through it. His speech impediment caused many classmates to make fun of him and this caused him to become angry. This also is showing the type of bullying that he went through when he was a child.…

    Introduction: My favorite quote throughout the entire story was when Johnny told Ponyboy when he was dying to “Stay gold, Ponyboy… Stay gold.” The meaning of the word “stay gold” was to tell you to stay innocent for as long as you could. My opinion of the book was that the book was good, but it would give too much information for parts that were not important. My opinion of the movie was that it did a good job of just getting to the important parts of the story.…
