Amazes Me...
I find it so intriguing to have a character like Eddie in the mix of things. Eddie comes in the middle of Jack's travels, and seems to stir things up a little. He drinks, tells stories, and talks like it was his chosen life long career. But as soon as borrows Jack's shirt and then later on gets the chance to get a ride closer to Denver he jumps at it, no seconds thoughts. Only seconds later leaving Jack thinking..."well there goes my shirt" and myself thinking, "how can someone just go! and run off, when traveling with someone for a good amount of time, and on on top of it all, taking another person's shirt?" If it were me, there would be a "goodbye" or at least a "see ya". But no, nothing, notta. I guess some people are so focused on something or getting somewhere that nothing else matters, and we just go! go! go! Maybe we're all going to be that focused on something at some point and nothing else would matter. Who knows.

I think that Eddie's actions reflect deeply on his character. I think he cares more about his own agenda than anything else. He proved that he doesn't care about Jack, even though Jack has done so much for Eddie. He is not very thankful, and is definitely not respectful.
Eddie may not care about Jack, but also Jack never really shows any connections to Eddie. Yes Jack has done a great deal of things for Eddie, but they are not close friends, and they may never have meant to be.
