Ace of Clubs (ch Q & K)
What do you think of Ed's plan with Gavin? Was he right to beat him up? Why or why not? What exactly was Ed's purpose with Gavin Rose? What was he supposed to do? Did he accomplish it? Why? Would you have done what Ed did? Why or why not?
I think Ed's plan for Gavin is rough. But I think it will have a huge effect. I wouldn't say it was right. But sometimes to convey a message things have to be hard. Ed's purpose with Gavin was to teach him the value of life, and of family. I think Ed did what he was supposed to. I wouldn't necessarily say it was the only way to his goal though. But I believe the message did send. I'm not sure that I would have done what Ed did. Being my size I'd be to fearful to beat a person like that.
I cant believe that ed beat up gavin. I dont think thats what he was supposed to do with him. I don't really know what Ed was even supposed to do with him. But maybe he beat him up to teach him to be good i could be wrong. I wouldn't have done what Ed did.
Ed probably should have thought out gavin's plan a little more. Gavin deserved the beating but it also brought him and his brother together but it still wasn't the best idea. Ed's purpose was to reunite the two as brothers. He could have tried to talk to gavin more about it and be a mentor but beating him up works too.
I think that Eds plan with Gavin was Kind of harsh but it will help in some way.I think that Eds purpose was to show him that there is more to life then just fighting with family....
Ed's plan was a bit harsh. Maybe Gavin needed to learn something out of it though. Not too sure what his plan was for Gavin but I do not believe it was to beat him up
I don't like the idea because the kid was only 14 and Ed is 19 and could get into serious trouble for it. No because Ed really isn't teaching he kid a lesson or anything he is just being the same way as Gavin's older brother. I think Ed's purpose with Gavin is to show that not be Mr. Tough guy is not always the best way to go. He was supposed to let Gavin role up on him and get his butt kicked. I wouldn't have done what Ed did because kicking someone's doesn't mean your cool or you are better then anyone else.
idk whT TO THINK ABOUT EDS PLAN FOR GAVIN. BUT I DO THINK IT WILL BE EFFECTIVE. VIOLENCE IS NEVERTHE ANSWER. HE DID IT BECAUS EHE WANTED HI TO BE TOUGH. AND I THINK IT WAS NECCISARY. I WOULDNT HAVE DONE IT IM TO NICE OF A GUY
I think Ed was kind of harsh with Gavin, but it did bring him and his brother together which was one of the main problems with their family fights. I don't really say he was right to beat him up, maybe he could have found a different route to go but it was his plan, and his decision. I do not know his purpose with Gavin Rose, there are always families fighting, and if Ed can help one, it's just one less unhappy family. Ed did accomplish it. I'm not too positive if I would have done what Ed did, probably because I wouldn't have a reason to beat the life out of him.
i think he did the right thing with gavin. to beat him to a pulp until he could not move anymore at least for ten or so minutes. he was supposed to teach him the value of life.i think ed accomplished his task. i would have done the exact same thing this is a hard world and he needs to realize that .
ita crazy that ed beat up gavin,im not sure what ed was suposed to do with gavin but maybe he did to teach him a lesson but im not sure.If i were ed i wouldnt have done that but thats just me.
I think that Ed's plan was worth it. I think that it was right to beat him, but I'm not saying that you should just go around beating people up. His purpose was to show that your suppose to love your siblings. & I think that he accomplished that by getting Gavin's brother to help his brother.
I think Ed's plan was odd. I definitely was not expecting that. I don't think Ed should have beaten him up, well i wouldn't of. I believe his purpose was to bring Gavin and his brother back together and teach him that life is beautiful. Also that family will be the only people who will ALWAYS be there. He accomplished his mission, but maybe not in the most delightful way. I think he put Gavin through a good realization though. I would have tried being there for Gavin and talking some sense into his head. I would have then tried showing him what it's like to not have a family. If that didn't work, i would have beaten him up too.
