Jody Thacker: A Brief Biography
Biography on Jody Thacker This quote reminds me so much of Jody. “Growing up, sports is my outlet, my way to portray a personality. I was very shy around people, but through sports, something I was good at, I was able to make friends,” by Curtis Joseph. Jody Lee McKenzie Thacker was born on March 20, 1996, in Alexandria, Louisiana. His parents, Curtis and Cheryl Thacker were very excited to have another child. Their first child Jeremy, who was fourteen years of age, was very happy to have a little brother. Jody and his family have lived in Hicks, Louisiana for a long number of years. He currently goes to Hicks High School, where his mother graduated from. His dad, however, did not go to Hicks, but instead went to a high school in Georgia. Besides his dad, his other family members have went and graduated from Hicks. …show more content…
He likes going to learn about new things from all of his teachers. While talking to some of his classmates about him, I have learned a few things. Some say that he a very quiet guy and that he should work as a security guard for Abercrombie & Finch. Others say he is a good friend and funny once you get him to talk to you. Joycelyn, however, said, “Jody is very quiet in class, but outside of school when he does talk he is very funny. He also never gives anyone any trouble, and is a very easy guy to get along with. Unlike most of the guys that out there.” So if you know him out of school, then you would say that Jody is a good guy to talk too, but in school he won’t talk to you very

    Jody Starks - Jody's character is opposite that of Tea Cake. He is cruel, conceited, and uninterested in Janie as a person. But his cruelty is not a result of any specific animosity toward Janie; rather, it is a reflection of the values that he holds and the way that he understands his relationship to the world. Jody depends on the exertion of power for his sense of himself; he is only happy and secure when he feels that he holds power over those around him. In Janie's words, he needs to "have [his] way all [his] life, trample and mash down and then die ruther than tuh let [him]self heah 'bout it." He needs to feel like a "big voice," a force of "irresistible maleness" before whom the whole world bows.…

    James Thurber (1894-1961), one of the country’s premiere humorists, was born in Columbus, Ohio and educated at Ohio State University, where he wrote for the school newspaper. After working as a reporter for the Columbus Dispatch and later a Parisbased correspondent for the Chicago Tribune, in 1927 he joined the staff of the New Yorker, a magazine with which he would be associated for the rest of his life (as a freelancer from 1936). His stylish wit marked by psychological insight, Thurber produced droll short stories, a comic play about college life, and a number of works of gentle satire on various subjects. He is probably best remembered today for his cartoons and drawings, of which there are many collections. These often depict hapless middle-aged men besieged by the demands of domineering wives and beset by the petty irritations of everyday life.…
