Analysis Of 'Johnny Johnny'

I have many themes in my poster but my main theme for the poster is conformity. I chose this theme because I thought it related to Johnny and to the world the most. Johnny was my character and I chose him because I really liked how he acted in the book and I thought he was a very interesting person. Some of my other themes are death which are shown on the poster too. On the outside Johnny may be a quiet person and he may look very innocent. But he is confirming who he really is inside. People don’t know much about Johnny but it is only because he hides it and conforms as being a greaser but he is a quiet greaser. “He had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes, and that beating he got from the Socs didn't help matters.” (page 11.) Johnny’s mask
But below his mask, he was brave. He was being abused by his father. He is the strongest out of all the greasers. He is a hero behind the mask. With all those cuts and wounds on him he didn’t care he wanted to save those kids in the church and he did. “if you can picture a little dark puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you'll have Johnny. He was the youngest, next to me, smaller than the rest, with a slight build.” (pg. 11.) This shows what is on the mask that Johnny wears. Johnny looked innocent all the time and the other greasers would protect him. They treated him like he was their little brother. “He had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes, and that beating he got from the Socs didn't help matters. He was the gang's pet, everyone's kid brother. His father was always beating him up, and his mother ignored him...” (page 11.) This is also one of the traits he had when he had his mask on. He always was hurt and had wounds on him but he still looked innocent and nervous. No one really knew he was being abused by his dad except for the greasers. He was the toughest one out of all the greasers, he just didn’t show
I used black for the other part of the mask to represent his actual mask to represent nervousness, how innocent he was, how he was abused by his dad, how he was quiet, and scared. I used red felt to represent death. He always wanted to die because he hated his life. I wanted to add red because he wanted to die but he realized that he didn’t want to die after he saved those children. He realized he hadn't done much at all. On the board I had one half white and the other black to represent the fun times he had in his life with the greasers (aka his brothers) and the black representing the tough times in his life. At the beginning of the book, Johnny was not confident at all and didn’t know how to stand up for himself. After he was jumped and hurt badly by those socs, he was carrying a knife everywhere he went which showed he was scared. He would go anywhere alone because he was scared that he was going to be hurt again. He was known as the “gang's pet.” He thought about killing himself in the beginning but that changes throughout the book. During the movies, Johnny does something very surprising and that is talking back at Dally. No one ever talks back to
