"The dress of the young man who now stepped out on the terrace was Indian; but his plaited hair was straw-coloured, his eyes a pale blue, and his skin a white skin, bronzed" (116). This description is of John. I think that he will become the next protagonist in the story line. What I find most interesting about this section of the book is John's story to how he got to be in the Reservation. When it's pieced together, the reader finds out that his father is the D.H.C., the man whom Bernard detests. This is when Bernard's back handedness begins to show. Bernard implies in the book that he'll bring John back to the Other Place so John can experience new things, when in fact, he plans to use John against the D.H.C. I find this a bit upsetting because I thought that Bernard was the "good guy." As it turns out, he's just like everyone else in the book: brain-washed and selfish.
