Minor Characters

As far as the minor characters in a Gracious Plenty goes, I feel that Reba is the most intriguing to me. Just the way that her character is portrayed really makes me wonder about her past and why she is the way she is. Although she is depicted as a hardcore Christian it seems to me that she is far from it. Of course was makes me think this is her treatment of William Blot's land and how she speaks of him. Although Christians do not like homosexuals, a devote Christian would never tell kids to deface the property of the dead. Then at the very end of the book she starts to scrub off all of the graffiti off of Blot's grave, although I think thats only because there was going to be a funeral there and she did not want others to see what she did. I either think she's just an extremest or that she is just a complex character, but either-way I think she is the most interesting minor character nonetheless.
