Although I touched on this subject in my last entry, I would like to address development as whole in a separate post. Whenever a new character is introduced, the reader can usually tell whether he/she will be significant or just another passerby. With the news that John is son of the Director, most people would be able to easily see his significance. John could be a new wrinkle into the story or completely take over the plot. Not only was John revealed but Linda tells the real story behind her disappearance. Also, Linda tells of her great dissatisfaction with the Indians and their savage ways. She tries to shelter her son from the madness but she hardly can because he doesn't know how "civilized" people work. With her story, we too see Thomas the Director as a heartless and harsh man.
