holocaust

I was dragged out into the middle of the street. I was forced to shut my mouth and not say a word at all. That was very hard to do because I'm just a kid. There were lots of people watching and staring at me. They don't know whats going to happen to me. I don't even know whats going to happen to me. That's the worst part. Now I'm being forced to put my arms up in the air. I don't want to but I have to because if I don't they will shoot me. There are Nazis behind me with huge guns. They are waiting to see what will happen, to see if I will break down in fear and burst out screaming at the top of my lungs. I know better than that. I want to live. I don't want to die with everyone watching me. If I die then my friends and family will miss me. They will want to know what happened to me. I will miss them as well.

sixteen

The sixteen years on the streets and Johnny learned the things that he didn’t want to learn and a lot more. Johnny had wanted to learn about the good things in life. The good thing in life for Johnny is his family (the greasers). That’s what he thinks that are the good things in life. He didn’t want to learn about what the other people on the streets are learning about or what they have learned by being on the streets. Instead he learned to steal from other people. They rob gas stations instead of learning something totally new that they haven’t learned yet. That’s what he learned by being out on the streets. The Greasers live on the street and they also live or hang out in an old church. That’s where they escape from the cops. That’s where they stay away from trouble. When ever they do something really wrong that’s a secret place that they know of and they hide. They spend their lives there day in and day out, waiting for it to be safe to come back out.

the outsiders post 2

Johnny died in the hospital after the rest of the Greasers came to see him. Dally and Ponyboy came up to Johnnys bed. Dally was really close to Johnny. So was Ponyboy. Dally didnt want Johnny to die. He was soo upset. Dally told Johnny that he got into a fight and that he won the fight. Dally told Johnny that he was really proud of him. His family really cared about him. They were really upset about Johnnys death. But way before that Johnny was in a fight and he got beat up very badly and he servived the attack. Johnny went into the church to save kids lives. The reason for that was because the church was on fire. He wanted to save the kids in the burning church. Johnny got burned from the fire in the church. He got like third degree burns. Thats why he was in the hospital. Thats how he died. Thats the reason why he was put in the hospital in the first place. Johnny died by saving people. He risked his life for others and not just for himself. That shows that he cared about other people in the world. People should respect that. That should be good enough for other people. They should do the same thing like he did.
