bad. It made him stronger and smarter. it got him a little more careful of people. he enjoys his mother being aroundbecause she cares for him. eddie and his brother are great friends and have very little in common.
ReplyDeleteI think Eddies relation ship with his father is going to be bad because. The child hood memorie that he had with his dad was that if he did something wrong he would get a whoopen. So that got him in shape for the army. Then his memorie from when he was an adult his dad would always tell him to get a job after the war. But he couldnt because of his leg woond.
ReplyDeleteEddie relationship with his father is really bad like when eddies dad was drunk and told eddie to get up and get a job(pg:108 and 109)and when eddie a chiold eddies dad would beat him alot like just pull him out of bed beat him (pg:105) till he bleeds his mother would try and stop but on nights she couldnt she just stood there and cried(pg:105). the beating shaped eddie as a child to be stronger and to protect his older brother.as an adult it shaped him by making him even stronger and helped him to make him go to the war and make it through it.
ReplyDeleteEddies relationship with his father is bad because,i think his dad is jealous of Eddie's accomplishments. It made Eddie a tough child.
ReplyDeleteeddies relationship with his father is terrible his father started to beat eddie when he was young. sometimes eddie could tell how bad he was going to get beat by how hard his dad would walk down the hallway. and this shaped eddie as a quiet and calm child but eddie was tough. eddie had a great relationship with his mother and his mom would sometimes comfurt eddie after his dad would hit him. the relationship between eddie and his brother was not the worst but they fought allot and eddie won most the time. eddies brothe was the weaker one even though his brother was the older one. yep yep
ReplyDeleteEddie's relationship with his father I think is bad. I think that it is bad because in the book, it said that their relationship, at the beginnning, was neglect. When Eddie was an infant, he was rarely held by a man. Eddie's mother handed out the tenderness. However, his father was just there for the discpline. On Saturdays, his dad took him to the peir and left him every time.
ReplyDeleteEddies realtionship with his father is not good.As an infant, Eddie was rarely held by the man, and as a child, he was mostly grabbed by the arm, less with love than with annoyance.(pg. 104)As an adult, Eddie could have gone on and persuded his dream job, but instead he worked at Ruby Pier to prove he could do what his dad did.
ReplyDeleteHis relationship with his mom is basically the opposite of his relationship with his dad. Eddies mother handed out tenderness: his father was there for discipline.(pg.104)
Eddie's relashonship with his father is not a relashonship at all. During eddie's childhood his father never held him, instead just dragged him around by his arm. When eddie grew up he matured alot faster than his broother to prove to his father he could be better than him. He also decided to work at ruby peir to show his dad he it in him.
ReplyDeleteAlthought, eddie's relasonship with his mother was very strong they spent most of there time together, and when eddie got into troble by his father his mom would back him up and yell at his dad.
His relashonship with his brother was the same as any other siblings they would have there ocassional fights but any other time they would get along and would help each other out when they needed it.
frankly i think eddies relationship with his dad sucks. I think he hates eddie. Not really sure why but he does. Mayby he si jealous of eddies accomplishments.
ReplyDeleteThe relationship Eddie has with his father looks like a bad one. Eddie's father was constantly beating him and his brother for anything. He was constantly disapproving of Eddie's brother because "he isn't tougher than water." (Page 107)Eddie always tried to get his father's affection. When he would bring things into the Ruby Pier shop and say "fix it" Eddie would fix it in a timely manner and prompt manner then he would take it back to his father and show him that the work was completed. (Page 107)Eddie's father shaped Eddie into being the man he later became. Not giving Eddie attention made Eddie work that much harder for his Dad's affection and not chase his dreams.
ReplyDeleteEddie's relationship with his mother is a good relationship because she usually tried to stand up to Eddie's father when he would go on one of his drinking spells. She was also the only one of the parent figures that showed affection and lover towards her two boys. The only time she didn't stop the dad was when he would beat the boys at night after his poker game while he was drunk. The mom was two small and weak to even try to stop the dad.
Eddie's relationship with his brother is alright. Eddie has always been just a little jealous of his brother because he always took the easy job and was the pretty boy that everyone wanted to be with.
