Kendall McRae Response 2 (to Ben)

This is a response to Ben's 1st.

I agree and disagree with your observations. Juan is in good control over his emotions in some points in the book such as with Andres or the shark attack, but he also tends to panic often. In the beginning, while they were setting out he was having terrible anxiety about being caught, and could barely keep from panicking. For example on page 14 when he asked Raul "What the hell are you doing now?" and then "Hurry, hurry, they're coming back," When Raul and Andres were clearly more relaxed.
