Hello there.
As you –assuming that you are still reading– reach the end of the 20th
chapter you’ll get to know Rex (a.k.a. X-Ray).
The Leader of the Pack
X-Ray is the unofficial leader of Group D, which consists of José,
Theodore, Ricky, Alan, Zero and our beloved Stanley (a.k.a. Magnet, Armpit,
Zigzag, Squid, Zero and Caveman [Stanley got a nickname too, isn’t that cute?]).
Anyways, there’s a reason that this guy is the leader –not to mention he’s been in Camp Green Lake longer than any of his mates. And it’s this reason why I chose this guy for my character analysis and why he should be admired.

“X-Ray was clearly the leader of the group, and Stanley didn’t want to
get on his bad side.”
Though he’s the second shortest (Zero holds the record) boy in the group
and almost blind, everybody in the group listens to him, because he can frankly
articulate his feelings and requests. And he’s got enough confidence to step up
to the front row of the water truck line every time it’s back. If you turn on
the 11th chapter you’ll get what I mean.
“Hey Caveman, let me talk to you a second.”
By assertively telling Stanley that he should give whatever he finds to
him, because he deserves a day-off more than Stanley does, X-Ray makes it clear
that he’s the boss around. And Stanley has no other choice to obey even though
it’s obvious that X-Ray is nothing more than an undersized A-hole.
But ultimately X-Ray shows his gratitude to Stanley after he gives him
the gold tube by making him move one step frontward in the water truck line.
Hats off to you Mr. Rex –blind or not.
“Glad you’re here, X-Ray, we need your sharp eyes.” –the Warden
