1. Jerry Crowe
Analysis
By Mairead Dolan
And
Conor Keegan.
2. Jerry Crowe is a kind decent, humane
young man who is of lower class.
After Jerry and Alec’s first
meeting at the lake Jerry is not
intimated by Alec’s presence as
he sees Alec as his equal and
strikes a bargain with him “I’ll
teach you to fight you teach me
to ride”.
3. Jerry is more realistic than Alec
and realisesHuhuhijikopkknhygyhnjjknjj

eventually come between their

friendship. When Alec offers
Jerry a job in the stables Jerry
refuses as he says “they
wouldn’t let us be friends” this
shows that Alec is not as realistic
as Jerry.
4. Jerry affects the
habits of grown
men. Adult
behaviour is faken
“immensely
superior and old,
old as a tree”.
5. Jerry is a brave
man when he goes
to look for his father
knowing the
consequences he
will endure.
Jerry tells Alec that
his father is “rare

sympathies fist and you need

the novel when he showing him a
tells Alec ”we are brave face” this
going to fix the suggests to us that
British”. Jerry’s father may
have been
abusive.
