Who Is Johnny In The Outsiders
Of all of the characters in The Outsiders I relate the most to Johnny because he is sweet and quiet, but when it comes to my friends I would do anything for them. I think Johnny and I connect to him because we come off as nice and would not hurt a fly, but everyone has something or someone they would die or kill for and Johnny and I would both kill for our friends. I think Johnny is so content because he has a lot of things happened to him though. Like someone jumped him and his parents are really mean to him. I don't have that in my life, well not as bad and nothing to do with my family. But a lot of things have happened to make me so quiet and content, like Johnny. All and all I think that I am very much like Johnny.

    With outstanding level of integrity, as well as rectitude despite a distressing home life, it would be justifiable to identify Johnny Cade in The Outsiders, as a hero. Although some may disagree with this statement by stating that Johnny could never be a hero simply because he killed Bob. However, we must remember the salient fact that when Ponyboy was being drowned in the park fountain by David, Johnny stabbed Bob on behalf of Ponyboy’s protection, despite the generally terrifying, and painful nature of an action that heinous. In addition, when the children were trapped in the burning church on Jay Mountain, Johnny ran to the rescue without hesitation, even if it meant putting his own life at risk for the benefit of others. Finally, and most importantly, when Johnny was dying in hospital, and did not have much time left before death, he did not try to feel sorry for himself, he instead said goodbye…

    The first thing Johnny and I are compared to is nervousness. Johnny and I usually can be frightened easily and will likely stab someone in retaliation. We also both don't like getting in trouble at all. We won't get into fights, or we are just scared about being beaten or hurt. Out in the public, we are both very shy and don’t like taking to new people.…

    Collectively, my group decided on a central theme for the revised script: change. We wanted to focus on how every character went through some drastic change as the script progressed. We decided to start with Kate’s monologue. This monologue was a good way to introduce everyone in the play. It had a dual purpose by also showing Kate’s attitude and personality. In the script Kate says, “3,000 happy Christians, cornbread on every table, and a pickup truck in every front yard.” This line, with the right inflection from Reilly, conveyed how Kate was uppity and had a sense that she was better than the other girls. It helped develop her character and give the audience a sense of who she was.…
