"A fearful man, in all coarse grey, with a great iron on his leg. A man with no hat, with broken shoes, and with an old rag tied round his head." (page 2)
- This quote shows that the convict is a rough and unforgiving looking man. He doesn't take care of himself very well and is very poor.
"What's a convict? Joe put his mouth into the forms of returning such a highly elaborate answer, that I could make out nothing of it but the single word 'pip.'" (Page 14)
-this quote shows that the convict was someone who was not really well known and someone who wanted to be or had any qualities that made them special or useful.
"Mind! Said the convict, wiping blood from his face with his ragged sleeves, and shaking torn hair from his fingers...." (Page 36)
-this is such a great description of the struggles this convict had to suffer and what he typically would look like and how he would act. Obviously these lifestyles were not ideal and not fun for them.
The actor I think is a good representation of this chracter is Jack Nicholson. He plays a lot of those scary (joker) and criminal characters and he seems like such a rough and tough actor that I think he would be perfect for this role!
