This shows that Johnny is tough because he was not scared to kill him, like how an average person would have been. Another example is “He looked over his shoulder and saw that the door was blocked by flames, then pushed open the window and tossed out the nearest kid.” (Hinton, 79). This also shows that Johnny is tough because…

As new born babies, Jimmy was larger and stronger and mental developed faster than Johnny. They conducted such tests as having each child hold onto the same bar while it was lifted in the air and Jimmy held on much longer than Johnny who fell relatively quickly. They also show how Jimmy’s reach and grasp skills were developed months before Johnny’s as was his creeping skills. Because of this they choose to train Johnny in such activities as swimming, climbing, skating, tricycle riding, and organizational techniques as well as many others.

    be an idiot, Johnny?" she snapped, raising her voice so it was barely audible above the roar of his music, "Then do it when you're NOT with me!" She had surprised him. For a moment he looked at her as though he'd seen her really there for the first time, trying to remember why she was there in the first place. He was a shadow of demonic rage and she was a vision of serenity. His sanity. Sitting next to him she stood out and it was clear to him that she did not belong there. Not there, where he had placed her; there, where she was in danger.…

When the curate, Mr. Redpath, complimented Johnny on his exceptional swimming ability, the father realized that "he seemed to know less about the boy than anyone".
