After reading Chapter 2, I learned a lot about Candy. Candy is an old man with a missing hand, and has been working on the farm for several years. He is friendly and likeable, and has a good relationship with everyone on the ranch. Candy has a dog, which is also old and crippled. What stands out to me about Candy is that unlike the other characters, he doesn’t seem to be working towards anything. My inference is that the farm is his life, and that he doesn’t have anything else to go back to outside the farm. The only reason Candy seems to be working on the farm is for survival.
