Characterization
For my blog I want to revisit characterization in Out of the Easy. At first I had Jo as a book but she has changed a lot through the book so I think now she is more like a tree. She is growing and getting smarter as she tries to get away from the French Quarter but her roots there are holding her. With people like willie and Patrick she is having trouble just leaving. She depends on them and they depend on her so the others around her are other plants and animals the depend on her as the tree. It starts to sound bad when I explain it but all I'm saying is that she depends on the people around her as they depend on her. This might keep her there in the quarter instead of going off to a big eastern school like she wants too.

I like how you used symbolism to describe the character Jo by saying she was a book, but is now more like a tree. Even though I haven't read this book, I can sort of picture what Jo's personality is like. It seems as if she is really dependible. In order to further back your thoughts, it would be nice to add in a quote or two.
