Summary:
I have started to read the book The Messenger and it's about a underage cabdriver boy named Ed Kennedy who has three friends and one of his friends is some one he loves. It first starts out as Ed, Marv, Ritchie and Audrey are stuck in a bank swearing especially since a man is robbing the bank. After the man tries to rob the bank but fails because Ed grabs his gun and fires at the Windshield of Marv's Falcon car and the man is arrested. Ed then later talks about his life and his life living with his mother. Eventually not having a very bright past.
Conflict:
Though I am still in the beginning of the book I keep thinking that since Ed's is past life is a conflict to him. In page 20 it says, "When Katherine got pregnant at Seventeen I cried. I was twelve then. She moved out of home soon after. She wasn't booted out or anything like that. She left and got married." In the same page it says, "A year later, when Leigh left, there was no problems. She wasn't pregnant" And the last is in (P.g. 20), "Tommy's done especially well. He's on his way to becoming a lawyer." All these three pieces of evidence show that Ed didn't live a good and affected himself inside. Then there is his father. In page 19 it says, "Like I said, my father died about six months ago" and "I could say living with my ma wasn't easy…" This piece of evidence tells about Ed's parent's, eventually he doesn't have a father no more and he also explains that living with his mother wasn't an easy thing to deal with. With all these problems this could affect his inner self, he has a picture of his family on top of his table. He says it's a show he loves to watch, remembering.
