https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg How Edward became less of a narcissist and learned to open his heart. en-us 2021-03-25 18:30:45 UTC 2021-03-31 13:34:50 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f430.png rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1354505438 When we first met Edward Tulane in the start of the book he was very narcissistic, vain, egotistical, and self centered. He didn't love Abilene despite how much she loved him and only cared for what she gave him. He has experienced minor indignities that he is ashamed of and likes looking at his reflection at night.  He cares not for what others have to say, and says that Rosie the dog hurt his ego. He is very far from loving. ]]> 2021-03-25 18:42:47 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1354505438 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1354527931 In chapter 4 Pellegrina tells Edward and Abilene a story about a beautiful princess who was loved by many but loved no one back and was turned into a warthog by which because of it. The princess mirror's Edward who was loved by Abilene yet didn't love Abilene back. Pellegrina told Edward "You disappoint me." and the story is solidified as a warning for what will happen to Edward if he doesn't learn to love.]]> 2021-03-25 18:47:45 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1354527931 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1354567492 In chapter 5 and 6 some young boys toss Edward around naked before throwing Edward over board a boat. Edward is for the first time truly scared for his life worrying if he can drown. He also takes note to losing his pocket watch and fine clothing. At this point he is quite selfish worrying more about his life and his clothes rather than the people he's been separated from.]]> 2021-03-25 18:56:24 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1354567492 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357100410 In chapter 7, after Edward has been thrown into the ocean, and is convinced that Abilene's coming to get him. Edward thinks about the stars and the story Pellegrina told. He isn't quite sure why the princess, was turned to a warthog but he thinks Pellegrina is the witch and that it's her fault he's stuck there. This shows that he is still mostly the same as he's always been. He may still seem the same but but this puts some perspective after what he's now gone through and is the catalyst for what's to come.]]> 2021-03-26 13:25:57 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357100410 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357146205 As told in chapter 7 and 8, after being blown around by a storm,  Edward is dragged in by the fisherman Lawrence up out of the vast ocean. Edward was so relieved to be out of the ocean that he didn't care for things that would have hurt his ego before like being called an "it" and being in a small less well-off town. While he is still selfish and egotistical this experience has opened him up for more development. ]]> 2021-03-26 13:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357146205 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357320830 Throughout chapter 9 Edward (now known a Susanna) is living peacefully with the old couple. While at first some things like being in a dress and sitting in a highchair at the the table horrified him, he soon got over it realizing that the ocean was much worse. This basic "the ocean was worse" mentality becomes the catalyst to his whole journey. While he is still selfish and still has an ego, he now shows more care for the people around him listening to their stories like when Nellie told him of her son who died at only 5 years old  from pneumonia, or gazing at the stars with Lawrence as he points out and names the constellations.  While Edward is still a long way from truly loving people, this is vital as it is when he first starts to listen to what others have to say and he's been humbled to where he doesn't care as much about the minor details and living in a poorer household. Instead, he is content.]]> 2021-03-26 14:13:30 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357320830 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357823276 Edward is content in his life with Lawrence and Nellie until in chapter 10 their Daughter Lolly comes for a visit and takes Edward to the dump. This differs from when he was thrown off the boat as this time his heart called out to him with two words. Nellie. Lawrence. This contrasts with before where he is thinking about himself and if he will die and his lost clothes and pocket watch. While he is far away from learning to love, these two words are enough to show how much he has grown already.]]> 2021-03-26 15:58:26 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1357823276 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1358668072 In chapter 11 we see Edward at the dump. While at first he thinks about his revenge on Lolly, which shows that he is still selfish wanting revenge. But eventually he is just taken with despair as he is a different rabbit then he was before. He now realizes that the which turned the princess into a warthog because she didn't love anyone, and he knew Pellegrina had told him "You disappoint me" because he didn't love Abilene. Also he doesn't quite know what love is, wondering if him missing Lawrence and Nellie was love. Edward has gone from a rabbit who doesn't care about love or anyone else to someone who misses people when he is separated from them and questions what love is.]]> 2021-03-26 19:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1358668072 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1364114906 In chapter 12, Edward gets rescued from the dump by the dog Lucy. She then takes him across the railroad to her owner: the hobo Bull. He then asks if Edward wants to be lost with he and and Lucy before taking Edward on the the run with him. We see Edward's growth here in how he reacts to being picked up by Lucy. Before he described being picked up by Abilene's dog Rosie as one of his greatest indignities; his ego was very hurt. Compare to now where he is quite happy to be in her mouth and out of the dump. He even points out how he would've been ashamed to be in the situation he was in at that point.]]> 2021-03-29 13:53:38 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1364114906 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1365420886 In chapter 13 and 14, Edward travels on the road with Bull and Lucy. He quite enjoys living as a tramp, something that shows how much he's changed from someone who thinks he needs a fancy pocket watch to someone who is happy living on the road. The other hobos get accustomed to him and start whispering the names of their loved ones in his ear ; he has now became a great listener. This shows how he has grown by him listening to the names of peoples loved ones and parallels to him thinking of the names of the ones who love/loved him.]]> 2021-03-29 18:51:23 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1365420886 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1365459090 After being discovered while sleeping in an empty freight yard, Edward in kicked out of the train car and separated from Bull and Lucy. When Lucy is being kicked, Edward regrets being made of china more deeply than ever. We know he's really changed as he most wishes that he could move when someone who loves him is being hurt, which is not the selfish rabbit who we met earlier who probably most wanted to move when he was stuck on the shelf. Also when he is alone on the dirty hill, he thinks about how many times must he have to leave without getting to say goodbye and feels a deep ache inside him. We see him now, someone who clearly had a very deep bond with these people and aching inside when he is stripped way from them which pales in comparison to how he didn't even really think about Abilene when being thrown off the boat.]]> 2021-03-29 19:00:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1365459090 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1365513955 In chapters 15 and 16, Edward is a scarecrow. His sadness being replaced with despair. He doesn't care what what happens to him thinking "what's the point" "I've been loved. And so?". He thinks he's done with caring now. Even as he's being saved by the young boy Bryce, he thinks that it's too late for him. Up until he has been fully freed by the boy and thought he maybe did have a chance. This in one of Edward's low points. He think's he's done with even caring for others and is a hurdle he has to jump before continuing his journey. This does show how he's progressed as him feeling so hollow inside shows that what happened has affected him, which does say something, and when he's saved by Bryce he feels hope again, which means that he couldn't have lost all his care.]]> 2021-03-29 19:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1365513955 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1368004365 In chapters 17 and 18, Edward has been taken to live with a horribly sick girl named Sarah Ruth. We see Edward saddened by her coughing, and wishing he had wings to fly her up to where the air was cleaner. This is different to just before where he wished for wings to escape his troubles and now, being with Sarah Ruth has edged him further along the path of being less selfish. He enjoys the warmth of her holding her and rocking him like a baby and he thinks "He wanted to care for her. He wanted to protect her. He wanted to do more for her." which shows he is really starting to care for her and become more caring and even more loving.]]> 2021-03-30 13:44:01 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1368004365 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1368098822 As of chapter 19, Sarah Ruth is dead and Edward had loved her. He feels grief from her death and the hollow empty feeling he felt as a scarecrow. He aces inside. He sees Pellegrina and begs for her to save him. " I have learned to love. And it's a terrible thing. I'm broken. My heart is broken. Help me." This shows that he has learned to love. He has progressed from not caring about anyone but himself to being able to love. But now that he has and Sarah Ruth has died he thinks that love is terrible because of how hollow and empty and sad you feel when someone you love dies,]]> 2021-03-30 14:05:33 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1368098822 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1369353993 After being smashed by the diner owner Neal, Edward has been repaired by Lucius the doll mender. After Bryce has said goodbye, Edward was left alone with no one but the other dolls. These other dolls very much are alike to how Edward was at the beginning. They are  self centered, vain, only care about themselves, and don't really seem to love despite seemingly wanting to be loved. While Edward has changed much, he was a good listener, cares for others, wants to help when they're in pain, and has loved. However in the moment he has given up on love, and he was done with hope; he was the sole doll who didn't want or hope to be purchased, for he had loved, and it was terrible, and he had given up on hope.]]> 2021-03-30 19:01:32 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1369353993 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1369396881 Edward kept on with his lack of love and hope until one day cam an old doll with a smashed up face, who has lived a hundred years. They talk and Edward explains how he has given up on love and being loved because it's too painful. The wise, old doll says that she's disappointed in him, and that if he has no intention on loving then what was the point of journey? When she was being taken home by a young girl, the doll told him to open up his heart and that someone will come for him. Here we see Edward, who has given up on love, meeting an old doll who has experienced so much, and she gives him hope to continue on and inspires him to love again. He has finally stopped being so sad and scared of love and is now willing and hopeful to love again.]]> 2021-03-30 19:13:43 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1369396881 rainluca854 https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1369400434 Edward has come full circle, now being loved, and loving Maggie, the daughter of Abilene. He has gone from selfish, narcissistic, egotistical, vain, an not loving others, to caring, a good listener, not selfish, and loving. He now is a rabbit who can love.]]> 2021-03-30 19:14:46 UTC https://padlet.com/rainluca854/du945vqkec92d1dg/wish/1369400434
