Jules finds himself mixed up in the world of heroin quite a lot, which forces him to make awful decisions. He does not have a high school diploma, and cannot hold a stable job. He provides for Baby in the best way that he can, although because he is still a kid himself, he does not know how to raise a child on his own. Jules has good intentions, though – he buys his daughter small, meaningful gifts with what money he has, he is always on her side. The truth with Jules is that he wants his daughter to grow up to become something, unlike him. He is very protective of Baby.
