Quote #10
So Johnny stalked off down Beacon Hill with the proper martial strut. The littler they are, he thought, the more they strut. The physical act of strutting lifted his spirits. Made him feel bigger than he was. Of course that was why the little fellows do it. (11.5.43)
Wearing Pumpkin's uniform, Johnny imitates the swagger of a British foot soldier. How is this pride different from other types of pride he shows earlier in the novel? Is it for show or for real?
