How did being beaten by the Socs affect Johnny? What about the fight caused this reaction in him? Cite specific evidence from pa

ragraph 7 to support your ideas.
PARAGRAPH HERE:
Finally, between sobs, Johnny managed to gasp out his story. He had been hunting our football to practice a few kicks when a blue Mustang had pulled up beside the lot. There were four Socs in it. They had caught him and one of them had a lot of rings on his hand—that’s what had cut Johnny up so badly. It wasn’t just that they had beaten him half to death—he could take that. They had scared him. They had threatened him with everything under the sun. Johnny was high-strung anyway, a nervous wreck from getting belted every time he turned around and from hearing his parents fight all the time. Living in those conditions might have turned someone else rebellious and bitter; it was killing Johnny. He had never been a coward. He was a good man in a rumble. He stuck up for the gang and kept his mouth shut good around cops. But after the night of the beating, Johnny was jumpier than ever. I didn’t think he’d ever get over it. Johnny never walked by himself after that. And Johnny, who was the most law-abiding of us, now carried in his back pocket a six-inch switchblade. He’d use it, too, if he ever got jumped again. They had scared him that much. He would kill the next person who jumped him. Nobody was ever going to beat him like that again. Not over his dead body….

Answer:

Jounny was traumatized by being beat up by the socs. As Pony tells Cherry in chapter 2,

His white T-shirt was splattered with blood. I just stood there, trembling with sudden cold. I thought he might be dead; surely nobody could be beaten like that and live.

Johnny was the least violent boy of the gang yet always carried a switchblade with him after the attack.

Read the excerpt below and answer the question.
jeka57 [31]

Answer: A) that people of African descent are no less human than white settlers and should be treated respectfully.

Explanation: In the given excerpt from "The Selling of Joseph" we can see the description of Ethiopians as Sons and Daughters of the First Adam, this means that it doesn't matter what color of the skin they have, all humans must be equal in rights, so the Sewall's assertion in this excerpt is that people of African descent are no less human than white settlers and should be treated respectfully.
