"Joe was a fair man, with curls of flaxen hair on each side of his smooth face, and with eyes of such a very undecided blue that they seemed to have somehow got mixed with their own whites. He was mild, good-natured, sweet-tempered, easy-going, foolish, dear fellow - a sort of Hercules in strength, and also in weakness." Pg. 8
"'I bolted myself, when I was your age- frequent - and as a boy I've been among a many Bolters; but I never see your Bolting equal yet, Pip, and its a mercy you ain't Bolted dead." Pg. 12
"But he always aided and comforted me when he could, in some way of his own, and he always did so at dinner time by giving me gravy, if there were any." Pg 26
The character Joe in "Great Expectations" reminds me of the actor Taylor Kitsch. He reminds me of this actor because Taylor Kitsch played a key role in The Show Friday Night lights as Tim Riggins, and was definitely a fair man, had amazing hair, and blue eyes just like my first quote. As soon as I read the quote it made me think about Tim Riggins. Also, Tim Riggins could be known as a "bolter" because he would leave his house when he got in fights with bis brother and even Joe referred himself to one too. Lastly, Pip was saying how Joe always comforted him whenever he could, and that reminds me of this same character Tim, because he would do a great amount of things to various different people to give them a helping hand. So that's why he reminded me of Joe.
