Georgie & Johnny Cade

Text to Text:In The Lottery Rose, Georgie has a striking resemblance to Johnny Cade, of The Outsiders. Both of them are abused at home constantly, and grow to despise their parents. In addition to that, both are taken away from their homes. In The Outsiders, Johnny develops a liking for Gone with the Wind and poetry, something deeper and more sensitive than most boys in his gang. In The Lottery Rose, Georgie likes flowers, especially his rosebush, which is also unlike other boys. (Thanya)
