1.) I am still reading Out of the Easy and I'm a little over halfway finished. At this point Jo is trying to leave the quarter and go to a women's college in Massachusetts called Smith. She has the grades but not the money and Willie doesn't want her to leave so she said that she will only pay for a local college. Jo also found Forrest Hearne's (a dead man) watch. She doesn't want to get rid of it even though it could get her in a lot of trouble with the law. She is also shocked when Willie gives Jo the companion watch for her birthday. Jo thought it was a way of telling her that Willie knew but she made no mention of it.
2.) So far I am enjoying Romeo and Juliet but mainly because of all of the dramatic irony. Since we all know the end of the story it is kind of weird to hear all of the hints that Shakespeare provide about the outcome of the story. I also find it funny on how quick Romeo and Juliet are to trust and love. It's like the second they see each other they have already decided to die if the can't be with on and other.
This is the opposite of the character Jo in my book. She doesn't trust very easily even with the people she has known for years. Romeo and Juliet have known each other for only a few hours and have all ready decided to spend their lives together.
