Joey's Brotherhood Analysis
While Paul and Erik’s brotherhood is filled with melancholy, Joey and Mike’s brotherhood is based on endearment, care and stability. Before Mike’s death, they were close and after, there was still a chain that binds them together. “Joey looked away. He clenched his jaw and added, ‘Mike would have been proud of what we did I tell you that.’” (Pg. 90) This shows that Joey wants to make Mike proud. He is inspired by Mike because Mike was like his best friend that was also his brother. Mike also loved his little brother and showed it when he, for example, drove him to his practices and anywhere Joey needed to go. Overall, there relationship was healthy and it is a tragedy that it ended soon.
