    How Does Jalousy Affect Jerry's Life

    What I observed in the book of Shoeless Joe jerry would have never figure out how bad his life was before he met ray. Jerry would just stay at home all the time and stopped writing. Once Ray came into his life, he had a little bit of fun on this crazy adventure he went on. Jerry would have never found out about how much he loved baseball and found his passion again for writing.

While Jerry gets to go because his family is all grown and they don't necessarily need him.…
