For this blog entry I'm going to just say some of my thoughts and insights to Candy.
I think that so far the character of Candy has been the most developed, even more than Joe Beck. I mean, we have been introduced indirectly to him, since it is his story that he is telling. Candy appears sweet, yet we know that there has to be something wrong, especially when the tall dark man named Iggy comes into the scene. He is described as intimidating, but I really couldn't feel the fear that Joe Beck described so clearly. He's supposedly large and has soul less eyes, but I still couldn't feel the intimidation, I don't know if it was just the description, or if there was more to it, like my prior experiences and the people I know. I mean, I have a family friend who the way that they described Iggy, was how I picture this family friend, and this friend is light and friendly. The reaction that Candy has to Iggy is what worried me, I mean what this man must be doing to a girl who seems outgoing and striking to make her react so helplessly and shy is unthinkable. In this chapter we also get to see how innocent Joe Beck is. I mean, honestly, they are talking about how much he paid for her, and he still doesn't seem to fully catch onto the fact that Candy is a ho, and to be blunt, Iggy is her pimp.

Yeah, at some points I think an author can just make a character annoying, kind of...
