Journal 10- Jake Goedde

Beer Vendor Clarence- I researched this because I thought it was very interesting. Clarence obviously means a lot to the Orioles fan base and I think that is inspiring. He's just a normal vendor that is a die hard fan with a lot of support behind him from the fans. What I have discovered from this profile is that he really tries to get the crowd into the game. He does everything he can to boost the energy of the fans to watch his Orioles get hyped succeed.

There are a lot of similarities between both of these people. One of them is that they are both well respected by the people and they are extremely nice and loving people. They both do not want any harm to go on around them and they want peace. The differences are that they work in 2 completely different environments, one a subway conductor and one a vendor so a lot of different things can happen to them that are both completely different situations. "You don't need a can opener to sell beer; you need a personality!"(Callings 200.) This quote really shows you how much the job means to him and it also shows that he isn't using this job to just get by with money, he loves his job and that's inspiring. When Williams states, "I'm putting on my orange vest and letting you know that if you need me to hold your hand, I'm right here."(Callings 212.) This shows how loving and caring she is as a subway conductor, she really loves her job and wouldn't trade it for anything else.
