Noun vs. Pronoun
He looks into John’s eyes and studies them intensely. Then he smacks John hard across the head. “Didn't I tell you?” he yells.
John covers his head in defense. “Man...”
The enraged old man hits John again. “I told you to listen to me!”
When you read that, did that last "John" before "again" seem redundant? Should it be "him," or is there no difference either way?
Thanks.
