How Does Jalousy Affect Jerry's Life
What I observed in the book of Shoeless Joe jerry would have never figure out how bad his life was before he met ray. Jerry would just stay at home all the time and stopped writing. Once Ray came into his life, he had a little bit of fun on this crazy adventure he went on. Jerry would have never found out about how much he loved baseball and found his passion again for writing. Jerry also helped Ray figure out some things. Jerry helped Ray realize how much more family is important to him by Jerry getting chosen to go with the players. Also Jerry helps ray control his jealousy by saying what you have is good and you need to be there for Karin and Annie. While Jerry gets to go because his family is all grown and they don't necessarily need him.

    Johnny Got His Gun

    The relationship between Joe and his father was conveyed through precise details in the story, such as the isolated campsite “covered with pine trees and dotted with lakes”. This “nine thousand feet high” campsite was more than a vacation spot; it was a tradition - created by father and son, and bonded by time. It emphasized Joe relationship with his father as each summer, “ever since he was seven”, they came to this place. This perfectly conveys Joe and his father’s close relationship, as they preferred each other’s company than that of other people. Their many years together bonded their relationship, and it furthermore stresses the difficulty of the situation he knew “had to happen”, when Joe has to tell his father that he preferred to go fishing with Bill Harper instead.…

    When the brother came back from leave for his mothers’ funeral, he had sat down to speak to Sonny. When he found out that all he wanted to be was a musician, the narrator “couldn't see why on earth he'd want to spend his time hanging around nightclubs, clowning around on bandstands, while people pushed each other around a dance floor.” Sonny was “deeply hurt” when he realized his brother didn’t understand him. The narrator neglected his ways of thinking and thought he was experiencing adolescence. The narrator didn’t just neglect his ways of thinking for the future, but also never listened to what Sonny had to say about anything to try and better him. For example, he wanted to join the army or the navy to get away from the bad streets of…

Ted, from “Golden Glass”, decides to build and live in a fort all summer long, while Jerry, from “A Mother in Mannville”, shows he is independent by being dependable by coming every day to chop the narrator’s wood. In addition, Ted and Jerry are about the same age and usually are both quiet. Ted is 14 years old, while Jerry is 12, which shows they might have similar interests. Ted does not have much to say throughout the short story, yet Jerry feels like if there is nothing to say, why bother to talk?

Finally, both boys are trying to become who they are today.
