I just finished a part in my book where a lot happened. I don't think it was the climax but a lot of Jo's problems either grew or shrunk in this section. It started with her talking to Mr. Lockwell who she was trying to get a recommendation letter out of. When she went in the only thing he wanted was to see her in high heels which she didn't where because she knew he didn't write the letter. He pretty much just flirted with her which she found disgusting because he is probably 25 years older and then he offered her a job. She declined and took some of his stationary to write the letter herself. She started writing the letter with Patrick's dad Charlie who was very mentally unstable. They couldn't tell anybody about his condition because they didn't want him to get hauled off to an asylum. She put him in front of the typewriter hoping for a response from him. He only typed the letter "B" but that was a huge improvement. She decided to give him his medicine and see how it played out. She walked out for a moment and went she returned he was covered in blood and scissors were in his hands. He had a huge gash on his forehead and gashes on his arms. She panicked and held rags up to his head to stop the bleeding.
Patrick came in a moment latter and was freaking out. Willies sent a military doctor with Cokie. The doctor was drunk but he was able to sew up Charlie's wounds. Patrick was very mad at Jo for not giving Charlie his medicine and Jo felt terrible. Jo then went with Cokie to Willie's where she found Mr. Lockwell who was have car problems. Jo promised to get a mechanic if he signed the letter he wrote. He agreed and she brought Jesse and he fixed it. So Jo is one step closer to going to a good college but is having more troubles with Charlie.
