Eckels, Cadence Wallace - Coggle Diagram
Eckels
Wealthy
"He put his hand slowly out in the air, and in that hand waved a check for ten thousand dollars."
-
-
Reckless
"his gun limp in his arms, stepped off the Path, and walked, not knowing it, in the Jungle"
-
"Eckels, balanced on the narrow Path, aimed his rifle playfully"
He demonstrates a lack of care in what he's supposed to be focusing on, pointing a loading weapon around like it's not a big deal
Nervous
"Warm phlegm gathered in Eckels' throat; he swallowed and pushed it down. The muscles around his mouth formed a smile as he put his hand slowly out upon the air, and in that hand waved a check for ten thousand dollars to the man behind the desk"
Eckles shows a nervousness in the way he smiles, very unsure of himself in that moment.
"Eckels swayed on the padded seat, his face pale, his jaw stiff. He felt the trembling in his arms and he looked down and found his hands tight on the new rifle"
He was nervous and it shows in how he is stressed and clenches up; His jaw is "stiff" and he is "clutching" the rifle
Overconfident
"I've hunted tiger, wild boar, buffalo, elephant, but now, this is it," said Eckels. "I'm shaking like a
kid."
He states he hunts a decent bit, and is arrogant in his assumption that a dinosaur won't be a big deal to take out.
"i didnt realise it would be this big,' said Eckels. 'I miscalculated, thats all. And now I want out."
He was overconfident in that he believed he could take out a dinosaur that he pictures as much weaker and smaller.
