Mullet Finger Character Analysis

In the fictional novel Hoot written by Carl Hiaasen, Mullet Fingers is intelligent. “Escaping from a juvenile hall Mullet Fingers used Dana as a decoy”(286-287). This proves Mullet fingers intelligence because escaping from a juvenile hall Mullet Fingers realizes that Dana is a slow brute so the police would be more interested in Dana. Another analysis is while Mullet Fingers is escaping he saw that Dana could not keep up with him so the police would go after Dana not him. The other piece of evidence is “ In the house Mullet Fingers with Beatrice's assistance Mullet Fingers escapes out of the house while his mom and dad are fighting”(285-286). Something noticeable in this quote was in the house Mullet Fingers used his intelligence by escaping while his mom and dad were fighting. This proves his intelligence because only an intelligent person would do that.
