Character Analysis: A View From The Bridge
1. If I would rather have Eddie’s mother and father or Marcus’s mother to be my parents, I would choose Marcus’s mother because I can talk to her and explain that I would never shoot anyone that is innocent and she will always figure out the truth and everything that is going on, take care of me, and love me forever and ever. Marcus’s mother will also try to figure out what is happening or going on with Marcus and keep him safe.
2. If Eddie had been the one identified by the shooting victim, I think he would have blamed his friend Marcus and tell the officers/police that Marcus was the person who pointed the gun at the innocent people because Eddie will tell them he is black and black people do these kinds of things like shooting, stabbing, …show more content…
In the beginning of the story Marcus and Eddie were two best friends playing basketball and robbing people for money. Later on in the book Marcus heads off to jail when Eddie was the one who pointed the gun at the people and wanted to rob them. Marcus saved his best friend Eddie’s life and he did not tell the police/officers that Eddie was the one with the gun and robbing the innocent people at night.
4. Marcus and Eddie’s reaction to the film The Count of Monte Cristo was that in the film there were scenes of a hero sword fighting and how a friend turned on away from his other friend. That scene relates with Eddie and Marcus and how either Marcus would let Eddie down and criticize/blame him about the robbing or if Eddie will let Marcus down. In the book Marcus had a choice to criticize his Eddie but he didn't.
5. After Marcus heads off to prison and Eddie goes to a college on a basketball scholarship, I would say that Eddie is better off than Marcus because he is going to a nice college and he doesn't have to go to jail with Marcus. It was wrong for Marcus to go to jail when technically Eddie was the person with the gun and robbing people and Marcus was being a good friend and not criticizing Eddie and telling the officers/police that Eddie robbed the people and he had the gun. Marcus didn't want to ruin his friendship with Eddie so he just kept quiet and that ended him up behind bars and his basketball career being
