4. He finally lit on the ground and walked around the body to see if it were really dead. Peered into its nose and mouth.

"What killed this man?" "Bare, bare fat" "What killed this man?" "Bare, bare fat." "Who'll standhis funeral?" "We!!!!!"

1. This quotation is directed toward Joe Starks, where he is the whirlwind and the other towsfolk are the breezes. By describing Joe as the whirlwind it creates this powerful, life changing person. He becomes a person that has no one controling him and expects others to follow his decisions. A whirlwind can also signify a change in something. Joe came into town and made it into a better living environment. This quotation also kind of gave a different perspective to what Joe did, how they viewed what he was doing.
3. This quotation show just how important the mule have become to the small society. It also showed the effect Joe Starks had on the community. People looked up to Joe because of one random act of humanity, and gave him even more control of their community. They enhanced Joeys already godly figure in their lives.
