This shows that even though the neighbors hate him, he will still help them no matter what. He cares about others no matter what they have done in the past.]]> 2016-11-02 17:37:31 UTC https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134872262 uyn20 https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134876115 2016-11-02 17:46:20 UTC https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134876115 uyn20 https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134879913 He saves his/most of his crew  from drowning in boat oil in the ocean.]]> 2016-11-02 17:54:35 UTC https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134879913 uyn20 https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134943529 2016-11-02 21:46:37 UTC https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134943529 uyn20 https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134945767 "This was the dog's fatal mistake: leaving his bare underside exposed as he jumped so high into the air, Edward Bloom was able to thrust his hand through the dog's hair and skin and into the body proper, clutching and finally ripping out his massive beating heart. My father held the girl so close, nestled into his wide shoulder, that she was spared this last gory scene."(Pg 99-100)]]> 2016-11-02 22:03:38 UTC https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134945767 uyn20 https://padlet.com/uyn20/3ril62xr3dvt/wish/134946675 "But they saw Edward waving to them as the girl had waved to him, and it gave them a sense of purpose, even hope, and those who saw him began to swim toward my father as fast as they possibly could.
