Johnny Got His Gun 2

One of Joe’s recollections is working at the bakery. The bakery was located in Los Angeles, and Joe remembers working late nights there. Joe remembers working at the bakery because he used to walk eleven miles to work each night. Joe cannot do that anymore because he had his legs amputated. Jose is a man that Joe works with at the bakery. Jose came to California so that he could find a job at a studio. Originally, Jose worked in New York City as a chauffeur for a wealthy family. He left his last job because the daughter of the man he worked for fell in love with him. The workers at the bakery initially don’t believe him until a letter arrives from the daughter who fell in love with him. One of the reasons that Joe likes Jose is because Jose had the audacity to leave the wealthy family to find a new job. Most people might decide to marry the daughter to inherit the money.

Abbey,

I also think that Jose's audacity and morals is one of the reasons that Joe admires Jose. I agree with you that some people do care more about money than love, but Jose wanted true love and a happy marriage. Overall Jose is a honest, considerate, respectful gentleman who has good morals. Good Blog!

Abbey great blog! I like how you said that he had to walk 8 miles to work, and then you said that he can't do it anymore because he is missing his legs. This adds a great touch to your blog. YOu wrote about how Jose was a good person, and I liked this. Keep up the great work!
