- 996: Paul Edgecombe: An Excellent Character
- ... handle it, he was still there. He also cared about his co-workers. He seemed to have a fairly close relationship with all of them, except Percy of course. When they were planning to take John Coffey to help the wardens wife, he cared enough about Dean and the fact he had children to let him stay back at E Block so he would hopefully not get in as much trouble if they got caught. Although it was his job to talk to the supposed convicts as they awaited their deaths, he cared when he talked to them, and especially when he talked to John. He went and sat with them and made them feel good, like when he let Delacroix know that Mr. Jingles would be okay and they would send him to Mouseville to live. He also protected the prisoners. He didn’t let Percy beat Delacroix to death, or let him continue on screaming “Dead man walking” when he was walking John Coffey in. Even though he didn’t know the whole story about why Percy was beating Delacroix, Paul put himself in-between them so Percy would stop. When I think of something like that ...

When John showed his cigarette burn that his father gave him, everyone “ignored” it and was quiet. Alison got over this fear when she dumped her bag on the couch for Brian and Andrew to see. ...
