Remember, Johnny came from a terrible household. His parents either beat him, or ignored him. If Johnny became crippled, he wouldn't be able to come and go from that house as he pleased, which means he has to stay in that home where he was hated and unwanted. 

Here is the excerpt from the novel: 

"Even if Johnny did live he'd be crippled and never play football or help us out in a rumble again. He'd have to stay in that house he hated, where he wasn't wanted, and things could never be like they used to be. I didn't trust myself to speak. If I said one word, the hard knot in my throat would swell and I'd be crying in spite of myself." (Hinton, 87).

How does the author influence the reader's understanding of McCarthyism without directly offering specific opinions? Group of an
Sladkaya [172]

Hello, you did not show the text to which this question refers, which makes it impossible to answer it accurately. However, if an author wants to offer information about Macarthism without offering opinions to the reader, the option that must be made is "by presenting only the facts that support a particular view of the era."

This allows the author to explain what was happening, to present important points about Macarthism, to show how it fit into the community, without presenting any opinion, but maintaining the reader's understanding.
