Character Role Analysis

The Oiler

The oiler is the coolest guy in the boat. He's the high school quarterback who doesn't like talking about how he gets straight As and helps his parents out after school at their hardware store and doesn't have time to date all the girls who are in love with him. He's the strongest, the bravest, the hardest-working. He doesn't talk much, he doesn't complain, he just puts his head down and rows. The correspondent is clearly in awe of him, and surely just about kills himself trying to row as dutifully and skillfully as the oiler does.
