Water For Elephants Post #3

This next quote shows us how Uncle Al, the evil ring leader of the circus, came to power and made the show what it is today.
" Uncle Al had the good fortune to be in the vicinity and was able to score a sleeping car and two flats for a song from railroad officials desperate to free up their sdidng. Those two flats easily held his few decrepit wagons, and because the train cars were already emlazoned with Benzini
Bros Most Spectacular Show on Earth, Alan Bunkel retained the name and officially joined the ranks of train circuses."
This shows us this deep root of all of Uncle Al's, otherwise known as Alan Bunkel, evil. He is greedy, intimidating, power hungry, and worst of all, looks for the easy way to do things in everything he does. Uncle Al, so far, has been the antagonist in the book, as exemplified when he puts Jacob in an impossible position as the circus vet. Only time will tell if Uncle Al continues his questionable ways throughout the book.
