Jody makes himself major of Eatonville, because they didnt have one and he felt like he should be the person to step up as major. and once he was major he was making all these decisions for the town and lobbying for it, persuading people to come live there. he called meetings and he bought street lamps, he bought himself a huge wooden desk and a swivel chair. he thought that he was sooo important.

the irony is that he came to this town so that all the blacks could live together equaly, and as soon as he gets there he puts himself above them all by making himself major.
