Answer:
Johnny loves his parents and tries to do everything he can to get their approval. No one matters as much to him as his parents do and no one can take their place. No matter how abusive his parents are he still tries to make them proud and happy. The violence in his home makes him very shy and kind. It also causes him to be a people pleaser; he tries to please others no matter how it effects his happiness. Towards the end of the book he stops caring about how his parents feel and he hates them. He hates them for hurting him even when he did nothing wrong and only tried to make them happy. He hates them for not loving him and for not noticing the things he does to make them happy, and not being proud of him and thankful for him.
