Graham Salisbury: Compare And Contrast Vinny And Joe-Boy
Graham Salisbury uses character traits to compare and contrast Vinny and Joe-Boy. These boys are related by them so calling themselves “best friends”. Here are some of the ways that to compare and contrast Vinny and Joe-Boy.

Vinny and Joe-Boy have many differences. Vinny and Joe-Boy are different by Vinny being nervous about jumping, when Joe-Boy is taking a risk and jumping man-style. I also believe that Vinny is lonely because Joe-Boy has a girlfriend and Vinny does not. On page 5 it says “The cold mountain water tasted tangy. Was it because the boy’s body was down there decomposing? He spit it out.” That is why I believe that he was afraid and nervous about the dead boy.

Some ways that Joe-Boy and Vinny are similar are listed

    Always a Motive

    After returning the missing Miller boy to his father, Joe Manetti is interrogated by the Inspector and is perceived as an agonized man. When asked about his occupation, he says that he is a musician, "but not working at it now". When asked if he was married, he says yes, "but my wife left me. She's somewhere on the West Coast". Being alone and unemployed would be difficult for anyone, which leaves the Inspector suspicious as to the motive of why Manetti has supposedly kidnapped the Miller boy. The fact that Joe seems to be rather troubled does not help his case. He also has a habit of driving aimlessly around as an escape from the "spells" he experiences. When asked for his alibi, all he could say was that he was out "somewhere driving", which isn't very convincing. Joe explains that "[he gets] spells when [he] can't stand it in [his] place. [He just takes] the car and [he] drives until [he] feels better". This behaviour can only be described as something a person who is experiencing pain would do to escape it. This shows us that Joe is so unhappy that he feels the need to mentally escape his reality, but settles for physically escaping the confines of his home where the memories of what he once had still linger. The manner in which Joe drives around uselessly with no destination or reason also illustrates his state of mind. Joe is so agonized that he cannot recognize the dilemma he is in and cannot bring himself to face his agony head-on.…
