I Am The Messenger Blog # 1 Merisa Klinac


When Ed got the card in the mail, he though one of his close friends sent it at first. Then he finally got the courage to ask them. Marv said he was too dumb to have sent the card, Richie said he was too lazy, and when Audrey answered she didn't deny of sending it on not. Since then he drifted away from Marv and Richie except Audrey. He felt like Audrey was the only one that cared. Yes I see a correlation with my friends in the past. Some of them would say they care and would be there for you through anything. But once you see yourself in a problem they are nowhere to be found. That is when you find out who are your real friends.
Ed’s relationship with his family was not all so great. Ed’s father was a drunken deadbeat dad. He died at work from his lung giving out. Ed and his mother had a weird relationship. She calls him hateful names and she makes sure he knows she isn’t proud of him. She compares him to his “perfect” brother that is going to be a lawyer. I feel like Ed’s and his mom’s relationship will never evolve. The reason I feel it wont evolve is she is to judgmental and will just push him away eventually.
I think the doorman is an important element in the story. Ed see’s him as a father figure and can go talk to him about anything. That is like his best friend. He is the only one Ed can count on really. He plays a big factor in Ed’s life.
