Another example of something that the author included in the book that doesn’t seem to add anything to the story comes in chapter 40. This chapter began after Leary had collapsed during the commercial shoot. After Leary got settled on the couch in the green room, everyone left the studio except for Blue Hermann. Then, Blue started to try to lay a beating on Leary, saying that Clay made Blue promise to make him hurt. It is unusual that this chapter was included because the author didn’t develop Blue into a character that would want to hurt Leary, despite Blue admitting that he wanted to. I think the reason that the author included this chapter was to show Leary and the reader that “The King of the Ice” wasn’t as great as he believed himself to be, to literally knock some sense into him.
