Rooster??

Who is Rooster? What are your first impressions of him?

Rooster is found by Mattie in order to help her find the killer of her father. Because Rooster is a marshall he has quite a lot of power and control over others and the law to a certain extent. This is why he isn't afraid to take down anyone in his way as he has that superior authority being a marshall. He uses the self defense excuse almost every time that he kills someone and it works. This is why Rooster would be the best person to get the job done for Mattie! In court Rooster even declared that in six years he had killed 23 people and that they were all self defense. He is really using his title as marshall to help him out as most as possible when it comes down to killing.

I sort of have mixed feelings about Rooster at the moment because I don't know how good of a guy he really is. It took Rooster some time to finally accept Mattie's offer as he thought that she wouldn't be able to provide the $50 to him. The only true reason why he decided to go ahead and accept her offer was because he may have the opportunity to settle his revenge with a man that he will also encounter on the way. Rooster also seems overall as an arrogant and selfish person. I don't know if he is %100 reliable and trustworthy but I guess we will find out fairly soon...

The Underground Man

Who is the ‘underground man’? What are your first impressions of him?

The "underground man" is somewhat quite a strange character. He is probably in his thirties or forties This man used to work in the army and he was an officer. He isn't a very nice person overall and he treated other members in the army without much respect. The "underground man" currently has a liver disease and life doesn't seem too good for him. He is an arrogant and hard person to be around as he thinks he's the best. He does have a good education on the other hand and he has taught himself not to be superstitious.

He has some nice qualities but in general he remains a stubborn and relatively depressing person. He has been sick for 20 years and still he refuses to go see a doctor which is absurd. The "underground man" made it clear that he didn't want to live past 40 as he knows that he is very sick and that his chances of living long aren't high. If he went to the doctor and got help though that may change but he simply doesn't want to. He respects doctors and the work that they do but he isn't interested in medicine as he doesn't like them. There is still much to discover about "the underground man" and what will happen to him in the future. I wonder now if he will end up seeing a doctor or if he will remain stubborn and silly. His personality also isn't very appealing to most people.
