In the second part of the story, the character that I felt we learned the most about, was Slim. Immediately as he walks into the room he is described as having a, 'majesty only achieved by royalty and master crafstmen. He was a jerkline skinner, the prince of the ranch". We learn this from the way he walks and the sense of authority he gives off as he steps into the room. He has a hatchet, ageless face and large, lean hands. He's big and tall with long, damp, black hair. For some reason I feel like this character will have a big role. Mainly because John Steinbeck has given him such an impressive description. Why would he make him seem like this incredibly important person of he's not going to do anything.
