Out of the Easy- Conflicts

There are many conflicts in Out of the East both internal and external. At this time in the French quarter Jo is getting hit by a storm of problems. First of all she is trying to go to a good college but doesn't have the money, she is working two jobs everyday, her mother ran off with an abusive idiot, and on top of all of this she has a dead mans watch. She is having an internal conflict because she has mixed feelings about the watch and doesn't want to get rid of it. She feels like he was the only decent man to come to the area. She is also worried that Willie found out because for her 18th birthday Willie got Jo the companion watch to the dead man's. Jo is also in the process in blackmailing a man in the upper class to write her a recommendation for college after Jo caught him leaving Willies brothel. Though he is going to do it she is not quite sure that he isn't going to turn on her and wiggle his way out of their deal. Jo has a lot to worry about right now and is very stressed that she will be discovered with the watch or her mom will come back. Now for comments talk about whether or not you've ever been in this much trouble.
