Ace of Spades (ch 8-K)

What are the last two messages in this section. Who were they meant for? What does Ed learn from the incident with his mother? How does he help Bernie? What do you think about the movie Ed is shown? How would you feel right now if you were Ed? Especially given the fact that Bernie said this was planned long ago. Answer this in at least 7 sentences. :-)

The last two messages are to Ed. Ed learned from the incident with his mother that she really does care about him. He learned from the incident with Bernie more about himself and more about Audrey. I think the movie Ed is shown is a good thing, yet bad. It shows what Ed has done, and lets him reflect and connect, but it also shows the he truly is being watched at all times. If I was Ed I would be a giant mess of emotions and I would have much uncertainty. To top that off, finding out the age of the plan at hand, I would start to have growing concern for exactly, what the purpose of everything was, and exactly who was running the show.

The last two messages Ed learned that his mum really does care, but i don't know what the other one is. I think Ed helped Bernie by reminding him of his younger years also by going to his theatre. The movie that was shown to Ed was like a slap in the face. He watched something that made him not so happy. And Bernie knowing about this for a year probably freaked the ba-jesus out of him. I don't know what to think.

Ed learned from the incident with his mom that she does still love and care or him even though she don't show it. He helps Bernie by letting him relive some of the good moments. I think Ed starts to think about him and how Audrey is the one of his dreams. I would feel mix emotions. I would think that maybe this guy has been watching me for a long time.

He helps Bernie my caring about him i think and going to watch a movie with Audrey. Umm the movie i don't think i would watch just because i don't think i would. if i was ed i would fell kind of upset just because all this stuff is happening with cards. He is suppose to help all these people he doesn't even really know. i think that ed is kind of frustrated because all this stuff is happening but he just doesn't know why.

The last two messages were to Ed. One was also to his mother. They were meant for him for the most part to make him see things differently and wake up a little. Ed learns that his mom hides a lot of her feelings, but she really doesn't hate him. I'm not really sure how he helps Bernie, maybe just going to see a movie at his cinema. The movie that Ed was shown I think was to show him all that he has been through. And all he has accomplished. If I were Ed I probably would have cried. I would see all that I Have been through and I've been successful. That I've helped all these people. But also that Ed don't realize, that they've helped him too.

The last mesages were for Ed. He learned that His mother needs a life. She loves him so much but she hates that he hasn't done anything to go anywhere and he's turning out like her. I'm still not absolutely positive on the message to Bernie. Maybe it's that he has a friend now. It's weird that they filmed him. I think it makes him somehow feel more serene. I'd feel a confused if i was Ed. How do they know exactly what is going to happen at all times? How did they know the rose brothers were going to jump him?

The last two messages were for Ed, The first one with his mom was to show him that he needs to have a life. & he helps Bernie by going to watch a free show. & I think that the movie is good he is able to reflect on what he has done, & who he's helped. I wouldn't feel bad or anything, I would want to know more about how they planned it & why they planned it.
