IVIV When you wish upon a joint

[Mark Kohut]

Bigfoot apologizes....sort of....how does this reveal Bigfoot's softer qualities?.....Or his relationship to Doc....

Doc reveals his unselfish wish, with his best pot, that Shasta Fay only be safe. Explain with reference to his character and the author's intentions re him as virtual narrator......

I say it shows his essential moral goodness (not the first or only thing that does), his basic reliability as our effaced narrator.

then we have his phone-answering, dealing-with-life clumsiness....an alpha male control freak, thy name is not Doc.....
