This is not very hero like in many ways. Edward is cheating on his wife and disregards his family in this way. ]]> 2016-11-03 23:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135261265 Map Point 2 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262030 2016-11-03 23:45:35 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262030 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262247 2016-11-03 23:47:54 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262247 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262458 2016-11-03 23:50:21 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262458 Quote 2: "COMING HOME HE FELT like a stranger. Everything had changed" (123). demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262469 When Edward came home from his place in Specter he would feel like he didnt fit even in his own home. This is because he was never home and neglected his true family. ]]> 2016-11-03 23:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262469 Map Point 3 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262711 William Bloom's memories of his father only came when he was young.]]> 2016-11-03 23:54:20 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135262711 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263040 2016-11-03 23:59:10 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263040 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263100 2016-11-03 23:59:44 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263100 Quote 3: "BEFORE THAT COULD HAPPEN, though, before he disappeared, he was a father, and he did the things a father was supposed to do" (123).  demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263122 In this quote William expresses that his father was there for him only as a child then he disappeared from him. Edward was no hero because he walked away from his own family. ]]> 2016-11-04 00:00:03 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263122 Conclusion demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263648 Heroes not only have to save and fight for the people but also have to focus on their personal life and not bask in the fame.]]> 2016-11-04 00:07:07 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263648 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263821 2016-11-04 00:09:11 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263821 demarcoj20 https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263950 2016-11-04 00:10:49 UTC https://padlet.com/demarcoj20/3vfwurqxu53r/wish/135263950
