believe Trick was trying to get out the point that people judge thugs, harass them, put them down in society for being “stupid” and “crooked” human beings. This quote is trying to say that not all them they are “stupid” and they are aware of what they are doing. Just because they are being categorized as a thug doesn't mean they are necessarily a bad person. They live with guilt and remorse and learn how to take it for the greater good of people they love and care about. I believe that Johnny,…

tore out of that hospital like a tornado, got in the car, and slammed the door. I started the engine and drove around the parking lot. My movements were jerky, and I kept slamming into cars, but I didn’t care. Johnny couldn’t be dead! He just couldn’t! I thought about the way Johnny looked, how he acted, what he said.

Winterson writes that Jeanette was born in a very typical conservative Christian family. Jeanette’s mother…

doctors were able to tell us that Johnny will be out next week. We’ve been waiting for months to hear this information, and we already lost Dally. It was a tragic thought. He was running from the police, and they shot him. Maybe, if we heard this information early, Dally would still be alive. He was fed up, and he thought Johnny was dying, which he was. Dally went and robbed a grocery store. Pointing his trick gun at the police, you could tell this is what he wanted. He was overcome with sadness…

Kel had a while before he was scheduled to work and knew that since Dixie was around, that if he was running late, she'd ensure he was covered. Thinking quickly about how to approach what happened today and the fact he wanted to make sure Johnny was doing as fine as possible after such a difficult morning, Kel figured it would be best to just be straight with him. "Before I drop you back at the Stanleys, would it be okay if we went to your apartment and talked? I won't have time otherwise…
