Blevins was a very important character in the novel. He represented a sense of anxiety and puts some sort of a humorous mood to the story, because is mainly based on drama and problems in life.
             He is a very smart kid for his age and life has taught him a lot, from the beginning of the story He showed the need for company when he was trying to follow John and Rawlins probably because he did not want to travel by himself, He had the guts to run away from where he came but going to Mexico was something else. The boy always tried to show his abilities and was really surprising.
             I believe that the way Blevins was and his character has a lot to do with the problems he faced and the circumstances in his life also that he had a step father that obviously did not get along with and having to work made him grow faster and he had to learn to do things himself. Missing the father figure has a lot to do. He mentioned in the story that he was running away from his

             like the idea of having Blevins with them, He helped them a lot during the trip since he knew how to hunt and cook, he seemed to be able to support himself and also he tried very hard to be like the other two, to look like a man and compare himself to them, because for his companions he was only a dumb kid with abilities, that made them laugh and helped them, but he wanted to show something else and that is why he kept on laying all the time about his age and the horse and the gun he owned and knew how to shoot very well.
             The death of Blevins can be considered almost or if not the climax of the story, because he was actually the only important character in the novel that dies. The boy was brave until the end and tried to fight for his life as much as he could. That made his friends realize how important he was and how much they cared for him.
