When Ed got the ace of diamond card in the mail, he considered it could have been one of his friends. He finally asked them if any of them had sent it, they all gave him reasons on why it couldn't have been them. Marv argues that he doesn't have the brains to come up with something like that, Ritchie says that he is to lazy, and Audrey says that out of all them, she is the one most likely to come up with something like that, but it definitely isn't her. After that day Ed didn't mention anything to them about the card, and told Audrey its safer if she doesn't know. I think Ed feels like he cant go to his friends with this because he feels they wouldn't care. Yes, I do see a correlation with my friends. Sometimes i tell my friends things I care about, but they show no interest to what i'm saying, like they don't care.
Ed's family relationship isn't very good. From what we have read, his mother treats Ed like she does't care for him, like he's useless. She thinks less of him compared to his brother and sisters since he hasn't done anything with his life. Ed's father has passed away of liver failure, but before he died they didn't have a good relationship because he was either drinking or working. We don't know very much about his siblings other than they are successful and their mom likes them more.
I think the Doorman is a very important element in the story. The Doorman belong to Ed's father, and when he passed away Ed took him in. The Doorman is a piece if his father. Also, Ed treats him like he is a human. He gives him coffee, ice cream, and talks to him. You can consider him to be Ed's best friend.
I agree with Sharon when she said that she feels her friends show no interest in what she says. I have friends that show me they don't care about anything I've been telling them but once they tell me their stories i sit and listen with full attention.
