Velda is the supporting character of the book. She
is best known as Mike Hammer’s fiancé and secretary. She is described as having
dark hair and being very beautiful. She loves Mike very much, and she is very
helpful. She often helps Mike out with his cases, gathering evidence and
trailing people.
I would she is loyal. She always is helpful and
sticks by Mike, no matter what kind of scrape he gets into. She is also a
faithful employee, and she always makes sure to do her task. She gathers a lot
of information for Mike, even if it means getting kidnapped doing so. She also
tails suspects to find out more about them. She also shows loyalty by staying
next to Mike when he is in the hospital for 3 days.
The second supporting character is a woman named
Michael Friday. She is the kind sister of semi-antagonist Carl Evello, who was
involved with the mafia. She is oblivious to her brother being evil, and sticks
up for him often until Mike shows her evidence he is a mafia man. This shows
she is loyal and loving of her brother.
She is described as having light brown hair and
being tall and pretty. She helps Mike a lot, giving him leads on certain people
he asks about. She breaks into her brother’s safe and finds the paperwork needed
to prove he is guilty. Mike warns her that people like her brother often end up
dead, and at first she takes it harshly.
There finally comes a time where she has to make a
choice: her brother or doing the right thing. She chooses the right thing and
tells Mike she is sorry and that now she knows. This leads to Mike getting
struck over the head and getting kidnapped, but he breaks free and kills
Evello.
Would I want Velda as a friend? Probably not. There
is nothing really wrong with her, but I don’t tend to hang with people like
her. I think her best quality is her loyalty. While I DO look for loyalty in a
friend, I also look for a sense of humor, which she doesn’t seem to have. She
seems to be more the love interest/pretty face of the story more than anything
else.
As for Michael Friday, while she is a supporting
character she is only briefly mentioned so I couldn’t tell you much more than
what I already did about her. I think that she knew deep down from the
beginning that her brother was mixed up in something, but didn’t want to
believe it. So instead she got angry and went looking for evidence- and then
was FORCED to face the truth.
And this wraps up my character paper! The book was
an excellent read. Thank you for giving me the project, Dad.
