Aladdin is one of many popular disney classics. A young boy living in a poor area who gets into trouble quite often and eventually falls in love with a beautiful princess. Ed, the main character of I am The Messenger, is first introduced with being a hostage at a bank robbery. Ed eventually becomes the city hero by shooting and catching the robber. Ed is in love with his best friend, Audrey, but never takes any chances. In this journal, I will be predicting, questioning, and evaluating the current pages.
Ed Kennedy describes himself as an underaged cabriver who is terrible at playing cards and is deeply in love with Audrey. The townspeople think of him as a hero for stopping a bank robbery. Ed receives a playing card in the mail with three …show more content…
Ed and all of his friends know that Marv’s car is a useless piece of junk that no one would want to touch. Marv’s car is so old that it does not have an emergency brake handle installed. When the robber tries to escape, he knows that his only way is to take the car that is sitting out in the front; Marv’s car. Marv wants the robber to at least pay for the fine with all the money, but the robber doesn’t accept. Somehow, the robber does get Marv’s car because Ed convinced Marv that it is an old piece of junk. Although Marv now has to pay his fine, the robber tried to escape but the junked car had no chance of starting. The robber dropped his gun during his attempt of escape, but he was too late of thinking of grabbing it: “I run out, picking up the gun along the way. When I cross the road, I lock eyes with the gunman. He attempts to get out of the car, but it’s too late for that. I’m standing at the Ford’s window. I have the gun pointed at his eyes” (Zusak 10). The robber and Ed both stop; the robber tries to get out of the car, but Ed then realizes that he had shot the gun when he saw the shattered window. The way the author made Ed a hero was not exciting, in my opinion. No one in the bank had enough courage to go outside, but Ed knew that he was unarmed and there was a potential for himself to grab the gun.I feel like the robbery could have went another way, rather than having the gunman drop his own weapon. There was probability that someone was going to pick up the gun. From other views and opinions, the beginning is what created the characters’
