Johnny Cade

This week, I'm introducing you to Johnny Cade, one of the boys in the gang. Johnny is "the gang's pet," he's the quiet one in the group of boys that they couldn't get along without. He's been hurt both physically and mentally, he's kinda like "a puppy that's been kicked too many times." Johnny was badly beaten by the Socs, that's why he started carrying a switch blade around with him and vowed that he would kill the next person that hurt him. Along with the incident with the Socs, he is also always being both verbally and physically abused by his parents. Because of that, going home is the last thing that we wishes to do. If it wasn't for the gang, he wouldn't know how it feels like to have love and affection. Johnny is a bit smaller than the rest. He has these big black eyes that are placed on a dark tanned face. His hair was jet-black and heavily greased and combed to the side, but it was so long that it fell in shaggy bangs across his forehead. He also always had a nervous, suspicious look in his eyes. That's it for this week.
