Pattern#1
Joe and power. A pattern of Joe having lots of power has been occurring a lot throughout chapter 5 and 6. People think he has lots of power and he thinks he does too. This power is allowing him to do pretty much whatever he wants and make people do whatever he wants.
ex: They bowed down to him rather, because he was all of these things, and then again he was all of these things because the town bowed down. (p50)
ex:
Pattern #2
Wind: Wind has been used to describe many things so far in this book. I think the wind describes power and may relate to power because power can destroy things when its really strong and wind can do the same. They can be used interchangeably at times.
ex: "He's a whirlwind among breezes," Jeff Bruce threw in.
"Speakin' of winds, he's de wind and we'se de grass. We bend which ever way he blows." (p49)
Pattern #3
The Oak tree/trees in general: Oak trees. In all honesty, i forgot why i tabbed the oak tree, besides it seeming like it was a motif.
ex: In the first place everybody was late in coming; then the next thing as soon as they heard where Jody was they kept right on up there where the new limber was rattling off the wagon and being piled under the big live oak tree. (p40)
