If you like apples then you owe a thank you to Johnny Appleseed for helping spread them throughout America. Johnny Appleseed was a make believe character that was based on John Chapman. Although many of the facts told in the story did happen, most did not occur in John Chapman’s real life. Even though Johnny’s plantings were minimal, the impact to America was large. He not only helped the world by providing apples, he also with his kind heart and personality. John Chapman, the author of the legend Johnny Appleseed, taught American children the value of hard work and perseverance, though his story is well known, not all of the facts of Johnny Appleseed are true.
One more example of Johnny’s heroism is when he volunteers his own life so that other children can survive. Johnny knows these kids have a home and loving parents, and feels these kids will be able to do more than he will in the world. This makes him heroic because he makes a huge sacrifice for others, and probably the most heroic act in the entire book.
Johnny's most recent story is when he saved multiple kids from a burning building. Johnny went into the building without hesitation and he was determined to save the kids. In the process of dropping the last child the roof caved in and Johnny’s back was broken. Johnny died soon after of injuries. Johnny was a hero to anyone who met him. People believed Johnny was a great young man different from the rest of the gang.
Johnny Reeves is a very important character throughout the story “The Witness”. In the story “The Witness”, Johnny is the minister of the KKK and preaches about how bad blacks are to him. Some of the problems that Johnny creates in this story are usually with blacks, because he is racist and against them. The reason he is like this is because he is a part of the KKK and has been brought up to be this way. In this story, I argue that Johnny Reeves is one of the main problem causers because of his back ground of being apart and the minister of the KKK.
Alcoholism is a severe addiction that indubitably affects one’s familial relationships, and which can tear families apart. In A Tree Grows in Brooklyn by Betty Smith, Johnny, the father of protagonist Francie, is a serious alcoholic.

However, despite Johnny Nolan’s severe drinking issues, he is still successful as a father overall because he is always well-meaning in his actions and he’s supportive and present when Francie truly needs him.
