Johnny Cash was known worldwide as a country music legend. He did not become a music legend overnight. He spent many nights away from home and his family. Many long hours were spent on the road driving to destinations where he would be performing. The long hours spent on the road and performing in front of a crowd of people night after night, is probably what led Johnny to start using drugs and alcohol. Johnny started using drugs and alcohol to cope with the long hours on the road and probably performance anxiety. I also believe that Johnny was suffering from survivor’s guilt, due to the death of his brother and that his father blames him for the death. Add that all up and you have a ticking time bomb ready to go off. I believe the diagnosis

John Dillinger John Dillinger was a gangster back in the great depression era. This is the life of the notorious John Dillinger, his gang, and his living legacy. John Herbert Dillinger was born on June 22, 1903, in Indianapolis, Indiana. As a boy he committed petty theft and other crimes with a neighborhood gang dubbed “The Dirty Dozen.” His parents were John Wilson Dillinger and Mary Ellen “Molly” Lancaster.
He absolutely despised having nothing to do. He thought that if he just sat and thought to himself, all the anger inside of him would build up and cause him to explode, sending the entire prison into an uproar.

At the beginning of the novel, Johnny lacked confidence and self-esteem. At times he thought about attempting suicide. S.E.

A clear sign of the gangs influence on Johnny was when he decided to prevent the Soc’s from drowning Ponyboy and defending himself instead of letting the Socs beat them up and have them possibly drown Ponyboy. More specifically, after finally fighting back and killing Bob, he says to Ponyboy “‘I killed him’ he said slowly. ‘I killed that boy”’(Hinton 56). Here the author is explaining how shocked Johnny was once he killed the Soc.

He hates that worse than getting whipped… If it hadn’t been for the gang, Johnny would never have known what love and affection are” (Hinton P.12), we can clearly known that Johnny’s parents were extraordinarily violent to Johnny. Due to the charac- teristic of Johnny’s father, the hereditary gene of violence affected fixed some of Johnny’s personal- ity.
