Answer :
In John Steinbeck's novella "The Red Pony," Jody comes home from school with a classmate named Billy Buck to see the red pony. When they arrive, Billy Buck admires the pony and appreciates its beauty. However, he notices that Jody seems different now in his eyes. Jody's eyes are "serious and shadowed," indicating a change in his demeanor. This change suggests that Jody has matured or undergone some emotional growth, perhaps influenced by his experiences with the red pony or other events in his life.
