11-14-11: Genocide survivor



Edward Bedikan, was born 1902, in Sespasdia. He looks old, is bald, and white. He has loose tendrils of hair sticking out randomly, and has a cold stale complexion. His eyes are cold and unforgiving, holding on to some hatred.
Edward seems to be harboring a large amount of animosity, whether that be the Turks or to himself for letting the girl get captured. His story shows that he had let down a fellow Armenian, even though they were strangers .


After the genocide, I think that Edward attempted to return to his old life, and while maybe he fell into old routines, he never fully recovered from it. I think that Edward was asking: What happened to the girl I was with? Will I ever see my family again? What has happened to them?
