The Big fish

(my good paper)

Edward Bloom becomes immortal by becoming the big fish because his stories are passed down after him.

Edward’s family kept his stories alive after he passes by Will telling his children the stories that Edward told him. In the movie, Will Bloom said “a man tells so many stories, that he becomes the stories. They live on after him, and in that way he becomes immortal.” Edward had a story for everything that happened in his life. When Will was a child Edward would tell Will these stories. Once Will was older he realized that the only way his father communicated with him was through stories. When Will had children I realized the only way of telling his children about their grandfather was through Edwards stories. Will’s children loved the stories just like Will did when he was a child, and Will’s children loved them so much they would tell their friends the stories. Will passes these stories of his father’s life down to his children and by passing them down Edward Bloom never dies, he becomes immortal.

Edward’s family wasn’t the only ones you kept his stories alive, his friend also did too. When Will was at his father’s funeral he noticed all of the people that were there were the same people mentioned in his fathers stories. At the end of the funeral ceremony Will hears Norther Winslow telling the stories that Edward has told, but when Will looks around he sees that everyone is telling the stories of Edward Bloom. You might think that Edward Bloom turns into the big fish because it completes his life, but he turns into the big fish because his friends and family never forget his stories that he has told them.
