Family Effects life
Authors Note: This is a comparative essay that shows the similarities and differences of broken families in The Outsiders, and Johnny Tremain.
Johnny Tremain, from the 1700’s, and Ponyboy, from The Outsider which is based in the 1950’s sound way different form the way they dress and how they act, but they have a lot in common. They both come from broken families and are affected severely by it. They both come from broken families, but they have their differences.
In the first place, both novels exhibit the main character is greatly effect by it. Johnny has to go and live with a family that makes him work to get food and shelter. Ponyboy lives with his two brothers and his older one yells because he loves him, but Ponyboy doesn’t always understand and he takes it offensively. Johnny had to deal with the other children who either make fun of him, or sabotage him.
In addition’ both of the broken families have death involved. I figured that was why the main character was affected the most. Ponyboy’s parents died in a car crash without warning so now he lived with his brothers. Johnny Tremain had his mom die and the book never talked about a father figure, but he has no relation he lives with or even ever see’s
On the other hand Johnny has no family he lives with or even hardly knows. Ponyboy at least has his brothers and a bunch of really close friends he can talk to and share feelings with. Johnny has no one really close see he remains a solitary figure bottling everything up until, at one point I predict it will all blow.
To conclude with, broken families are shown in both Johnny Tremain, and the Outsiders. The books may sound very different and one being about a 1950’s Texas gang, and the other a 1700’s boy working as a silver smith they have their similarities. Broken families are displayed it similar ways with some differences.

Keep you Enimies Closer.
Authors Note: Having enemies is a major setback when they interfere with you life, for Johnny it cost him his career.
Johnny Tremain a rising star in the silversmith world you could say. He knows almost every boy in town, weather friend, or enemy. There is one boy who absolutely wants to get rid of him and take his place. They call him Dove because no one knows his real name or will ever find out. When you create such mortal enemies and don’t worry about fixing the grudge it can cause major conflict and disruption.
Johnny is working and the most important build of his life. His master and caretaker allows him to work on a Sunday, back in the 1700’s it was though a mortal sin and against the law to work on the lord’s day. He needs everyone to help because he needs to finish, even Dove. Johnny asks for a metal pan type thing so he can melt the silver on the furnace. Dove deliberately hand him a cracked one. “Johnny took it into his trusting hands and placed it over the furnace” as the book describe it. He melted the silver and when he went to pick it up the molten silver split onto the furnace Johnny jumped back quickly, but he fell forward his hand and part of his head hit the silver. He woke up with his thumb attached to his palm.
After the unpleasant incident with his sworn enemy Johnny will never be a silversmith, he is heartbroken. His caretaker, are basically kicking him out onto the street, because he can’t do the work they need him to do anymore. He has no other training in anything else and will be hard to find something he can do. All because he never made time to resolve the problem between him and Dove.

From a Different Eye
Authors Note: Johnny Tremain a poor boy works as a silversmith for a rich family and one of the girls isn’t feeling well so they take her the sea side to get fresh air. They ask Johnny questions that he never wanted to answer, but he answers for an un-described reason.
Johnny Tremain is a poor young man who works as a silversmith for a rich guy for a place to stay and food. One of the daughter’s of the guy is having a heat stroke so they take her by the sea to cool down and they ask the story of his middle name and why he never talks about his dead mother. They ask if it’s because he hated her or loved her so much and he said he loved her so much.
On top of that Johnny really wanted to keep all of his personal stuff bottled up, so the narrator describes it as if the girls bugged him enough so that he told them about everything his mother told him even though he really didn’t want to. The girls might have thought they were being carful of what they uncovered, but Johnny really doesn’t think so.
Isannah thought about it as just Johnny being nice, but the narrator describes it as Johnny needing to get up with a moan and down and help the little girl so his master doesn’t get mad at him. Then Isannah starts to ask Johnny about his past and he doesn’t want to tell them, but she thinks it’s him being nice and Johnny is just a little annoyed. The way the narrator describes it it’s like Johnny always wants to get out away and done with everything and that he doesn’t care.
