What can Bynum fix? Is he responsible in the use of this power?

Bynum can fix relationships between people. I feel that Bynum is very responsible with his powers because before he does anything, he will ask the person why they left, and he also tried to persuade the person (Mattie) to try and forget him.

Bynum has the power to bring relationships back together for the person who wants to be with the other person. I think that Bynum is responsible with this power, because he ask a couple of questions first before making any attempt to manipulate the victim.

Bynum can fix relationships. He can make a man love a woman and be bound to her. He is responsible for his power in a sense that he is the one who chose to use it even though he knows that this can sometimes not be what fate had in mind for the two people. On the other hand, he does warn people and in the end it is their responsibility to deal with the consequences of what they asked for.

-Comment: In my opinion, Bynum has only as much power as people give him and this leads me to believe that he can give really good relationship advice that people find useful. Other than that, I am in agreement with Johnathan and Ashely who believe that Bynum provides fair warning and he won't scam people if you knew he could not help them. For example the young woman whose boyfriend just left her fro no apparent reason.

Bynum believes that he has the power to fix peoples relationships. He gives counseling to split up couples, gives advice for people and helps people move on in relationships. Bynum, so far, has shown that he is responsible with his position in being the relationship fixer. He showed responsibility when talking to Mattie because he told her to stop going after the man that left her. In this situation, Bynum was responsible because he did not tell Mattie to keep going after her boyfriend because it would have just caused her more pain.

I agree with everyone. Bynum does have the power to fix relationships, and he is fully responsible for his power. If he didn't know what he was doing , he never would have asked his prey questions or try to manipulate them. Furthermore, he knows that sometimes its just not meant to be, yet he still goes foward with his "powers". A person wouldn't do all of that if they were unaware of their power.

I agree with Ashley that Bynum can fix relationshiips between people. This is true becuase he does have the knowledge and the power of his. Throughout the story it is clear that Bynum is very confident and convinced in what he does. Therefore i believe if he takes the knowledge that he knows he is possible that he can be a match maker.

I agree with Buschbacher. Bynum can fix relationships. He is very responsible with his powers because he lets people know the truth and he does his research by asking questions before he agrees to do anything.

Bynum can fix relationships between people. Some evidence that justifies this answer is when Mattie came to Bynum so that he can fix her relationship with her run away man.
