scene

the scene or topic in this book so far that has some meaningful value is when the men are outside the store talking about the mule that was not doing much work and fought back when tied to a plow and it was not getting fed enough. i think that the mule is a symbolization for Julie. with julies first husband he asked alot of her and she pushed back alot and did not to all the work that he expected her to do. when the men are talking about the mule because the mule ran away, just like julie. also, joe bought the mule and then let it sit around becasue it was working to hard. it looks like joe has a knack for that. the mule ended up dying around the same time that julie starts to get a little antsy and does not like the way joe is condecending (vocab word) to her.
