Second summer reading post


                In the book Ed is a very simple person, he just wants to go on with life staying afloat any way he can, like his job as youngest cab driver in town. When he was a the bank there was a robbery and by talking to the robber and distracting him by making him angry he was able to stop him long enough for the cops after this he goes on with his normal like until he gets a playing card with addresses to go to.

He does not start really wanting to do things until he meets Milla an eighty year old whose husband Jimmy dies sixty years earlier in war. She had been living alone for that entire time with no one to comfort her. So when Ed is assigned her address as a job he realizes he must comfort her and he then decides to act like he is Jimmy to make Milla happy. For the first time in his life he felt like he actually was doing something right and it made him feel really good. I think helping Milla will encourage Ed to go to the other addresses and help the other people rather than before when he did nothing
