My passage is from the bottom paragraph of page 47 that continues onto page 48.
I noticed that in this passage there was a lot of focus on how things felt kind of distant between the people and Jody Starks. The more high and mighty Jody tried to make himself the more people began to just see him that way but not really believe it at all. He was making them seem of lesser value to the comunity almost, like where hurtson explained his house as the "big house" and all of the other houses and buildings around his domain as slave quarters.
Imagery: a gloaty, sparkly White. ( the house)
Simile: The comparison of a girl becoming a gator
Foil: Janie & Jody in comparison to the towns people or Janie to Jody
Mood: I thought that it seemed kind of lonely and the people seemed distant from the mayor, even though they spoke highly of him.
Tone: Hurtson wrote the differences between Jody and the towns people and i could see she added a bit of jealousy behind the people, and a bit of sadness that the people were thinking that Jody was hiding things from them, great things.
The purpose of the passage was to clarify the relationships between Jody and the town, and Janie and the town.
