Page 4: "A troop of newly arrived students, very young, pink and callow, followed nervously, rather abjectly, at the Director's heels."
From this sentence, I made the assumption that the Director has authority over numerous people in this society. To me, the children seem very obediant, almost frightened of this man. They write down almost every word he says. Also, when Mr. Foster comes into the picture, he is also obediant. When the Director tells him to state a fact, he willingly does so. He is described as a tall, thin man who is most likely intimidating. It has not been said however how much authority he has in this strange community. I am interested to see the role the Director plays in this novel as the plot unfolds.
So tall and thin = intimidating?
