Mick Johnson In John Steinbeck's Gym Candy

Micks purpose of being in the novel is so that the story isn't so boring.and also if he was not in the story, they're probably wouldn't be a story. But otherwise Micks purpose in the novel is to try to overcome a problem and build from his mistakes and then become stronger. Micks goal is to be stronger so he has to build his way up to getting stronger. I feel like Mick grows more throughout the story because when he starts to take steroids he becomes stronger and then he knows that he shouldn't take them but he feels like he needs them to be the best. I think Mick grows off of this because he learns what is right and what's wrong because he never does steroids
