1.) Claim: Johnny is described in the beginning of the book as being perpetually nervous and scared. I would argue that he is only scared of being beat up, and once he discovers that he can repel danger with his own power, he will no longer be afraid. Evidence: “I was trembling, and it wasn’t all from cold. But Johnny, except for the fact that his hands were twitching, looked as cool as Darry ever had. “We’ll need money. And maybe a gun. And a plan”” (Hinton 57).
