Joe Oramas Station Agent
Joe Oramas, one of the main characters in the film "Station Agent," had a very complex character. He worked for his father, since his father was sick, as a street vendor. On the surface he seemed annoying, irresponsible, and talkative, but he was actually lonely, insecure, and in need of a friend. Joe is burdened with the troubles of helping his sick father. He sacrifices his dreams in order to care for his father and run the business his father had started. Joe's sick father has a big impact on his behavior. Joe had to constantly worry about the health of his father, work an undesirable job to please his father, and give up a lot of his social life to take care of his father. This caused Joe to have trouble interacting with other people.

I can support this because he has been taking care of a baby and giving up things he loves and realizes the importance of becoming a parent and taking care of a newborn. Giving up things like the basketball he plays with and the arcade he goes to is a symbol of caring for someone you need to take care of.

    Wyatt Zamperini Character Analysis

    Louie Zamperini, the main character, experiences countless dangerous situations, which he always works his way out of, with the practice of his encounters in childhood. By learning from his past dealings, Zamperini becomes very resourceful and knows how to deal with what he goes through. Even though a young boy, Louie is not innocent. Throughout his childhood, he does things that leave people screaming or calling the police. He does not care about what people think about him, but rather what he thinks of himself and his actions. Louie does not have friends as a child and no one to socialize with his age other than his siblings. Therefore, he fills this void by stealing and intruding and enraging others. All Zamperini wants to do is something,…

    Johnny Got His Gun By Dalton Trumbo Analysis

    As this story unravels, the reader is able to observe the changing of a relationship, tradition, and young man. While reading, each character appears equally content, yet neither is truly pleased. The root of the unhappiness in each character is due to the change that has occurred in Joe and in their tradition. While his father accepts his change of mind, he is quite obviously offended and most likely feels hurt by Joe’s decision. On the other hand, Joe expresses sorrowfulness. This leaves the reader’s mind focused on the past, when the relationship was ideal and each character was happy; reminiscing in the…

    paper on the round house

    For example Geraldine uses Joe as an outlet for her anger. She sometimes yells or comes off as defensive toward Joe. Geraldine once said to joe “now you listen to me, Joe. You will not badger me or harass me. You will leave me to think the way I want to think, here” (90). She tries to display dominance over what she considers hers and therefore gives herself a sense of control and security. Most of their interactions is dictated by Geraldine and any form of contact requires her permission. For instance when Joe tries to get her to look at the garden she refuses to look. She instead “turned over, away from me” (87). Anything that Joe suggest is shot down and every action she takes is of her own choice. Because of this new attitude, Geraldine and Joe grow further apart. Even if Geraldine does end up getting confidence and forgiving herself, I feel that Joe will have lost all hope and trust in her. Either way, this mother-son relationship is doomed to end badly.…

    Ian Mcewan's Enduring Love

    We get to know him quickly and quite intimately as the novel is written as though he is talking to straight to us. We are shown the absence of feeling in him which is replaced by the almost irrational use of logic he uses. For me, too much emphasis is put on the scientific part of Joe, we are told his mind works in a scientific way and it is made apparent that he is very intelligent but this is drilled into the readers head over and over again until it becomes potentially irritating and monotonous. There is no human being behind the voice, he observes in very close detail everything around him but does not feel a great deal about it. Joe’s need for detail to perhaps eliminate some of the guilt that he feels at this stage of the novel is repeated to the extent that it becomes almost…

    Jazz (Toni Morrison) Essay

    In his previous relationships that are problematic, such as his relationships with Dorcas, Joe lacks true communication and feeling. Even with Violet, his wife for over 20 years, Joe is unable to share experiences or have even a normal conversation. Joe does not know about Violet’s problems, for he never talks to her: Joe never learns “of Violet’s public craziness” after they move to the city—Violet is afraid to even reveal her own problems to herself, let alone Joe (22, 97). Revealing of the poor state to which the bonds between them have deteriorated, the narrator describes: “20 years after Joe and Violet train-danced on into the City, they were still a couple but barely speaking to each other” (36). In what is supposed to be the strongest relationship in his life at this point, Joe cannot sustain a meaningful link between him and his wife. Preventing these connections that had been present in the beginning of their relationship, in Virginia, when Violet “worked at anything to be with Joe whenever she could” are the changes that have occurred between them—changes that are brought by age and lack of communication (105). Violet no longer seems to care for Joe as she did before, for Joe describes to Malvonne, the woman with whom Joe is pleading to borrow her apartment for his affair, “Violet…

    Elephant man

    From a counselor’s point of view, Joseph was a very troubled and hurt individual. All the obstacles that were in his life would have affecting him to the point at which he would hate people and feel as if he was lower on the human scale. For example when he had to deal with Bytes as his partner, bytes would treat him as if he was an animal. To be treated like that would make any human feel lesser about themselves, also taking in constant that Joseph was a very smart person who was subduing his intelligence in order to find a place in…

    Sunday In The Park Bel Kaufman Analysis

    Larry doesn’t have a decent role model in Morton. Morton’s wife wanted Larry to learn to “fight his own battles” (Kaufman), but Morton’s confrontation with Joe’s father taught Larry the opposite. Morton’s wife isn’t content with this discovery and takes it out on Larry. Her feelings change towards Larry change. She’s now “ashamed” (Kaufman) of his “frail arms” (Kaufman) and “thin and unsure legs” (Kaufman). Before the encounter with the bully, Morton’s wife “felt a tenderness pity for [Larry’s] defenseless body” (Kaufman). Through this description, the woman sees her son as weak just like she views her husband. Larry is probably going to grow up to be like his father—somebody unable to fight his own battles. Like Larry, Joe will also grow up to be like his father. In the sandbox, Joe threw sand with “a quick, deliberate swing” (Kaufman). The boy is already showing his cruelty towards other people just like his father. Both of these boys don’t have proper role models and their fathers are not disciplining their child correctly. Morton leaves the disciplining to his wife, while Joe’s father doesn’t care to discipline Joe but instead encourage him to misbehave. The men’s sons further portray the fathers as failures.…

    Major Themes in All My Sons

    All My Sons is a play about the past. Many characters are dealing with the effects of keeping secrets. Joe Keller, especially, is having a hard time accepting that his best friend was put in jail for a crime that Keller himself committed. He believes that the best way to deal with something from your past weighing you down is to keep pushing it aside. Joe does a very good job of this until he realizes that his selfish mistake is ultimately what took his son's life. Like always, the past finally became inescapable and caught up with Joe. After reading his son's suicide note, Joe says, “Then what is this if it isn't telling me? Sure, he was my son. But I think to him they were all my sons. And I guess they were, I guess they were...” (83). Just as the past is unavoidable, so are the consequences. Joe's tragic death was his punishment for the major tragedy he caused.…
