    How Has Johnny Changed

    How Has Johnny Changed

    One character that has changed from the beginning of the story until now (i.e. Chapter 4-6) is Johnny. He went from being an innocent puppy that was scared to a younger version of Darry, being tough, cool, and knowing what to do in certain situations. He went from getting beaten up badly by his father, and Bob (once) to killing Bob, and running away from the Police. What caused Johnny to change was that Ponyboy was being drowned by David (a Soc) and Bob was going to kill Johnny after Ponyboy was dead, so Johnny reacted quickly and stabbed Bob and scared away the other Socs. Johnny stated that he never wanted to get beaten up like he did in that lot when Bob almost killed him, so he took action. In the text, it says “If you can picture a little puppy that has been kicked too many times and is lost in a crowd of strangers, you’ll have Johnny.” (Hinton Page 11) This was when Johnny was still scared of Bob and was depressed to the point of mentioning killing himself if he didn’t see any action (which kept him sane). This was when Johnny was protected by older Greasers (Dally, Two-Bit, and even Darry), although Darry wasn’t a Greaser he seems to care about Johnny, this was when anyone could push him around when he was quiet and kept to himself. Later on, in the text, it said: “But Johnny, except for the fact that his hands were twitching, looked as cool as Darry ever had.” (Hinton Page 57) This shows how quickly he changed because earlier that night when in the movie theater he was still shy when first talking to Cherry, but after this, he was a totally different person. It’s like there is a totally different side of him which…

    How Does Huck Finn Change

    During the book Finn undergoes an HUGE change. His character arc is well thought out and it's interesting seeing him evolve into someone different and undergo a change. I love dynamic characters in books and Finn delivers on that front. He becomes more engaged in the world around him, starts to speak with people, understands that he is not alone and that there are people whom he can talk to. He even takes the first steps to talking with a girl he has secretly been admiring. It's also interesting to see how his viewe of the world changes by the end of the book as he becomes more grounded and recives an vider perspective of the world. But despite all of that he still keeps thinking about the young girl that went missing and has an urge to find…
