Vinny Vs. Joe-Boy

Joe’s first instance of controlling behavior is met with radio-silence by Janie, indicating that she favors Joe’s company more than she desires to voice her own opinions. She fails to express her displeasure regarding Joe’s comments, and instead strives to maintain appearances, “[making] her face laugh” even though it “[isn’t] too easy” as the citizens of Eatonville watch her (Hurston 43). While Janie appears blasé to appease the crowd, she is upset that Joe prevents her from speaking, he also takes the choice from her. With Joe, Janie is “nothing more or less

Joe grows as a character throughout the book, his life began at a very young age when his mother Nellie died of throat cancer, this left Joe growing up without having a good mother figure in his life. Not only that, but Joe was also really sick at a young age by contracting scarlet fever. So he would be staying at his aunt Alma’s home, where he was raised as a young child. Later on when he turned five years old, he went to go back to living with Harry and his newly wedded wife Thula. “Harry Rantz packed his family into his Franklin touring car and headed northeast, to the mining camp where he had been working as a master mechanic for the past year.” (Brown 71).

In the first chapters I have learned that Joe was dishonest and through his action and choices and this tells me this character cannot be trusted. One reason why Joe is dishonest, is that Joe told Mrs. Robinson (Jackie’s wife) and other people that he wasn't a time traveler even thought Joe was. Another reason is that when Joe got back from the journey Joe didn't tell his teacher that he went back in time Joe said he found it from the baseball cards and lied when he should have been honest although he didn't want people to know. The last reason why Joe is dishonest, is when Joe came back from the first time that he didn't tell his mom that he got chased down from the cops.

Joe’s understanding of war in Johnny Got His Gun is very similar to Boy’s in the sense that he doesn’t really understand what he would be fighting for in a battle. One example of this is when Joe is at the train station with his family awaiting his send-off to war. During this send off Joe didn’t really question why he was going to war or what he would be doing in war. He went without and hesitation which shows that his

In this book “The Ravine”, Vinny and Joe-Boy have a lot of character traits.I’m going to do compare and contrast. Joe-Boy and Vinny are best friends.

Joe-Boy is not a nice friend to Vinny because he says to Vinny, “You’re stepping in the dead boys foot prints. When you go into the pond and you’ll touch his face.You might be the one who finds the dead body.” Vinny just scowls and winced at Joe-Boy.

When the two were talking Janie did not think that Joe represented "sun-up and pollen and blooming trees," (C4,p.29) she was holding back because her memory of nanny was still strong enough to stick with her to make the right choices. Joe is very protective of Janie because she is young and he wants her all for himself. “Joe would hustle her off inside the store to sell something.” (C6, p.54) Joe was chosen for mayor because he wanted to make the town “de metropolis uh de state.”

Vinny and Joe-Boy have many differences. Joe-Boy really wasn’t afraid of being in the Ravine, while on the other hand, Vinny was scared because “The boy had died there.” Vinny was nervous and scared and worried that his mom would find out that he was there, and Joe-Boy kind-of “pushed him” to be there. Joe-Boy was being a jerk to Vinny because he didn’t jump. The author wrote “Sometimes Joe-Boy was a big fat babooze,”

In S.E Hinton’s novel The Outsiders, Dallas Winston and Johnny Cade are opposites, from their personalities to their way of life. Dally is tough, while Johnny is sensitive, yet the two are very similar. Johnny gives advice to stay the same and not change, while Dally thinks that staying tough is the only way to not get hurt.

Joe-Boy is always teasing Vinny, but Vinny never teases

Although Janie doesn’t mind mingling with all the townspeople and making up tall tales about the infamous mule, Joe considers the people "trashy" and "gum-grease." He thinks Janie’s position as mayor’s wife automatically makes her morally superior and he does not want her associating with them. This is, of course, hypocrisy since Joe himself, the mayor of the town, associates and
