ThTitle: The Messenger.
Author: Markus Zusak
Text Type: Novel.
Date Finished: 1st July.
The Messenger is a book written by Markus Zusak. In the book we see a useless boy that pretty much has nothing. Turn into this heroic man! It's one of those great stories where you see someone doing good but not getting anything in return.
I honestly related alot to the protagonist, we had the same ideas and thoughts about everything throughout out the novel. I especially noticed this when he thought about three things coffee, woman and the bit after he didn't shoot the drunk and let him go. With the coffee it was easy, once every chapter, I think. Woman well, he has a very clear way of describing woman, I guess I'm similar and lastly when he didn't shoot the man he was supposed to. That seen just made me understand how much alike us humans are, I don't think any normal person would have pulled the trigger.
I loved it when Ed helped Sophie, it was my favorite bit. He quite literally did so much for someone without really doing anything! It just shows you that you don't have to cure cancer to be considered a good man, simply give someone nothing and it would be the greatest thing they had ever gotten in their life! Now the point that I'm getting at with all that Is just, wow, us humans need to all sit down and read this book, we need to see that even a worthless piece of trash like ed could make peoples life so much better. Wow, this book was really interesting thus I liked it! I highly recommend it to everyone.
I'm glad you could relate to this book, Jan. It's true that everyone can make a difference, even someone as "ordinary" as Ed. What you need to do is give some more specific details for your examples. What did he do to help Sophie? And what did he say about coffee and women? Why do you think you would have let the drunk guy go free?
