==== Thesis: Joseph Charles Kennedy liked to write for all ages, he never truly had a favorite. His wife and himself wrote mainly together on things for colleges and adults. Mr. Kennedy himself wrote for children, adults, and college students studying literary techniques. Joseph Charles Kennedy loved comics and science fiction. He loved to attempt drawing comics such as //Superman// and //Batman//, although he never showed much progress in them he continued. His parents even tried on multiple occasions he said, until they finally gave in. He was obsessed, he also mentions, with science fiction clubs and items.

He seems to also love to perform his works in print with others, many of his books, novels, and educational poetry books, are done with more than just himself (many of the college related ones are done with his wife).

He also showed his schizophrenia in the later poems such as //God's Obsequies.//

X. J. Kennedy has done many things to help English professors in the various colleges that he himself had studied at (and some other neighboring ones as well).
