... No warmth could warm,
no wintry weather chill him. No wind that blew was bitterer than he…Nobody ever
stopped in the street to say, with gladsome looks, ‘My dear Scrooge, how are
you? When will you come to see me?'. No beggars implored him to bestow a trifle,
no children asked him what it was o'clock, no man or woman ever once in all his

though he has to use a crutch to walk and he is very small. Despite his
disability, he constantly keeps t ...

... missionaries where Allie is shot and wounded.
Paddling with their father and husband downstream on the Patuca River, in a quadriplegic state, his limbs not working, Allie is only able to speak and scream. Due to Theroux’s guidance of Allies character throughout the novel, for the reader it seems likely that he could jump up and regain control over his family and the direction of the novel at any moment. Here, Allies character is used very well to make the reader afraid.
Not only does Theroux use Allies character to its peak of effectiveness, but Charlie’s character is used well also. Thr ...
