Assef has got even nastier, if that's at all possible. Before Assef even is seen in Chapter 22, there are echoes of him throughout. Assef's description is horrible and slightly hypocritical; "I saw marks on his forearm - I'd seen those same tracks on homeless people living in grim alleys in San Francisco." Assef's a drug addict, a person who is looking after himself properly, is actually controlling thousands of people, and controlling them in a horrible way too! It's clear that Assef hasn't changed, and even though he is discriminating against thousands for their appearance, he still is different from everyone else - "his skin was much paler than the other two men's" and was "wearing his dark John Lennon glasses, looking like some broad-shouldered, New Age mystic guru." Assef has the same presence as he did before, making everybody petrified in just his body language - "I had a sudden urge to urinate."
I know I've only really talked about his appearance and briefly about his personality - but I'll talk about this is more detail in the other blog just to keep everyone smiling :)
TOODLES.
