So far in the book, I have found Nancy Farmer’s
characterization the most interesting literary aspect for me. When she was
describing El Patron from Matt’s perspective, “he was extremely thin, with
shoulder-length white hair neatly combed beside a face so seamed and wrinkled,
it hardly seemed real,” it uniquely provided a vivid image.
I also think that
she developed El Patron even further by describing the Big House, which he
lives in. When Matt discovers the secret passageway, it non-purposefully
describes what kind of person El Patron is. Not only did El Patron build
somewhere where he can spy on people, but it also gives him a place to go where
no one knows where he is, showcasing his ‘vampire’ like qualities.
Farmer further expands El Patron’s character by giving him a
very selfish personality, which she displays to the reader through El Patron’s
storytelling, and constant talk about himself, not about others.
