Ice Man
Ice man
Have you ever been treated unfairly? Have you ever been treated like you have no rights at all? Most people have, but few of them have been treated as badly as Victor and his friends were in “Ice Man” written by Elmore Leonard, just because they are Native Americans.
“Ice Man” is fiction. In “Ice Man” the narrator is an unknown 3rd person narrator. He does not enter the characters minds, he only tells us what they say and what they do. And therefore he must be a person that does not take part in the actual scene, but he must be there. Because he is a 3rd person narrator, his opinions are objective and therefore trustworthy.
Victor is one of the main characters in “Ice Man”. Victor is an Indian, or you may call it a Native American, from the Mimbreño Apache tribe. Victor is a bull rider. He rides bulls for money is competitions and this is seen in the lines 6-7 on page 1. “He won Top Bull Rider, 4.000 dollars and a new saddle at the All-Indian National Rodeo in Palm Springs”. Victor is also a fearless bull rider, because he looks into the eyes of a bull to see if it still wanted to kill him, “He walked to the gate not bothering to look at the bulls, see if they still wanted to kill him”. Line 5 on page 1.
Victor has worked for a man called Kyle McCoy since he was a little boy. Working for Kyle, Victor learned how to ride a bull and feel what the bull was going to do next, this is shown on page 2 lines 6-8, “Now he was telling them what he’d learned about bulls working for Kyle McCoy since he was little a kid”. But even though he had learned a lot from Kyle, Victor had to figure out most of the things by himself. Victor is also quiet bold. When the ICE Man turns to him in the bar, he does not act scared. He is kind of cheeky towards the ICE Man, especially when he says, “Does it mean you deliver ice to places like this one for drinks, maybe shrimp cocktails?” which he does on page 3 lines 24-25.
