Tom Petty's Song 'Into The Great Wide Open'

Once everyone left Eddie started approaching a lady that was going into her car. He just went for it. He tried to yank the purse out of her hand. He pushed her down just so that he could get the purse. He began to run toward the mall.

When his mom couldn’t afford to pack the lunches of fancy juice packs and chips, he was known as the stinky poor kid. That 's why I believe eddie highlights the importance of good character and being self-aware of who you are. Character and identity will be part of you permanently even if money is not. Social class and money hide people 's true values from being seen to the world because most people tend to look at others through a social discriminating perspective. Instead of good morals and traits being acknowledged, your social class standing is what people notice.

It is Eddie’s fifth birthday, and an Irish man, called Mickey Shea joyfully picks Eddie up by his feet and shakes him out once for each year he has completed, while the other adult men laugh and cheer. Firstly, “Eddie is wearing his birthday gift, a red cowboy hat and a toy holster. He gets up and runs from one group to the next, pulling out the toy gun and going, ‘Bang, bang!’ ‘C’mere boy’ Mickey Shea beckons from a bench. ‘Bang, bang,’ goes Eddie. MIckey Shea works with Eddie’s dad, fixing the rides. He is fat and wears suspenders and is always singing Irish songs. To Eddie, he smells funny, like cough medicine” (Albom 23). This is the beginning part of one of the flashbacks that talks about Eddie’s birthday, where the writer introduce Mickey

Over a summer when Eddie was delivering newspapers Alex would play his drum set. Eventually, Alex got really good so he and Eddie swapped instruments.

Eddie has a complicated relationship with his cultural identity due to growing up in America. Throughout his life, he was told by his peers and other adults that he was not American enough because of his race. In school, he played football, a typical American sport. Although he was bad at playing, he stuck with it because when they laughed, they mocked his ability to play, not because of his skin color which he could not change. The lack of American socialization at home contributed to his resistance to assimilation.

The first change I noticed in Eddie was when he met the Blue man from Ruby Piers freak show. The blue man told him about the time when he was driving a car and a young boy ran in front of his car and almost hit him. The blue man got so scared a mile down the road he got a heart attack. He crashed his car into a wall and died.

For the first source, I used Eddie Izzards memoir, Believe Me: A Memoir of Love, Death, and Jazz Chickens. This source was the most important because this book explains the inside of Eddie Izzard’s life. These words and stories came from Izzard personally. The book is about his life, his personal life, and what he actually went through throughout his childhood growing up.. The book gives behind the scenes stories that no one knew about. Izzard addresses rumors, and confirms that he is in fact a transvestite, but he is not gay, he is straight and likes women. The second source I used was YouTube. I watched interviews with Eddie Izzard explaining his life and how he came out to the world in 1985. The interviews were important because you could physically see everything Izzard was feeling. Anything he talked about, you could see the pain, or the love he felt about that topic. He explained how relieved he felt once he told the world who he really was. Izzard felt as if he could not be himself around anyone and it was time for the world to know. Even though Izzard was judged constantly, and being verbally abused by everyday people, he still fought through it and made the best of his life. Through it all, Izzard was able to be his true self and not feel like he was hiding anything anymore.

can see the type of man Eddie is, as when he meets the brothers for
