The Theme Of How I Live Now By Meg Rosoff

Edmond was foreshadowing by Kate when he was laying down in the hill slope, dreaming about his lady Octavie. He was homesick, and missed his lady. By having Kate write this, it would be foreshadowing, implying that maybe he will get to see her again, if hes dreaming about her, it

This is important because Edmond is telling Max do not live life full of hate and vengeance as I have live life and when given power over another’s life spare them. Much like how Edmond spared Danglar letting him live just not wealth and powerful. But instead Edmond hopes Danglars will learn that greed comes back to haunt you. Wait and hope could mean that the Count may return to France. Or that all we can do at the end

Edmond was wrongly accused of treason and sent to imprisonment for life. Edmond spends his next 14 years in the disconsolate Chateau d’lf, a prison sitting on an island at which no prisoner has ever escaped. As Edmond has lost all hope and “... God has faded from (his) heart,” he meets a priest, an old man who was sent to Chateau d’lf 11 years before Edmond. The priest is a very knowledgeable man with great persistence and belief in god. Continuously throughout the movie, the priest helps Edmond keep his belief in God and reminds him of why he is trying to escape similar to when King Melchizedek in The Alchemist was reminding Santiago that, “It's your mission on earth." Both of these men required a guardian and another person pushing them on and guiding them in their

What does it mean to grow up? Does it mean washing your car, paying your bills, getting a job? Does it mean getting married, having kids, and sprouting gray hair? Is it necessary? Is everyone capable of it? Is it going to be hard and will it be worth the effort? All of these questions are probably what made Peter Pan decide to never leave Neverland. Growing up means a lot of different things to many different people. If we look at the words “growing up”, we simply think of the physical aspect of ageing, growing tall and wide. But for most people, growing up means something deeper involving a change in the approach that an individual has to life and the actions that are taken with it. In this essay, we will look at why people have

Growing up is a significant thing that can change the way things are for you, it can change your attitude, your ways with getting along with others. It starts out when Arnold is born with something wrong his brain, people thought he was weird. people would always bully him, beat him up, and make fun of him. One day he is transferred to Rearden and meets new people who become his friends. he try’s out for basketball and makes it to varsity. he goes to the championship and wins. But after that has happened he loses his sister and his grandma. in the novel the absolutely true diary of a part time Indian, author Sherman Alexie suggest the idea that growing up is an important topic to the book; this becomes clear to readers when he goes through

Since it is only the dead who go free from here, I must take place of the dead!’” (Dumas 80). Edmond thinks of taking the place of the abbe Faria, which freed him from prison. This further authenticate Edmond being perseverant and patient, showing how he pushes through obstacles presented to him no matter what. One could say that Into Thin Air had no perseverance

As Stephen Chbosky once said in his novel, The Perks of Being a Wallflower, “Life doesn’t stop for anybody” (144). Many youth, in their egocentrism, are unable to grasp this concept entirely. A large part of growing up is coming to terms that the world does not, in facct, revolve around anybody, and in order to truly grow up everyone must be able to recognize that they have to make or find their own place in the world. The novel, The Catcher in the Rye, by J.D. Salinger, and the poem “The Question”, by Karla Kuskin, demonstrate the harmful effects that may arise from one’s refusal to grow up or mature, thus damaging their concept of their own future and often stunting their growth.

Edmond believes in the best of people even in pressing situations, for instance when confronted by an unknown threat, two french police officers tell him that he is being arrested, Edmond

I was very surprised with the end to The Locket. In no way did I think that Edmond was still alive. According to the short story Edmond was at war, but he never got seriously injured. So, when I read that he had past, and the locket was returned to Octavie I was shocked. “Made precious as material things sometimes are by being forever identified with a significant moment of one’s existence.” This quote is very sad because Octavie is remembering what she had with Edmond and the fact that she will have to go through life with just memories of their time together, instead of making more memories is upsetting to her.

Edmond becomes a “Count.” He holds a high reputation in Europe, and has become a very wealthy man that can buy anything he wants. He has gotten close with other people who are also very wealthy and hold high reputations in Europe. Edmond in the beginning

It is obvious that the characters Edmond and Octavie were very much in love. It was evident that they cared for each other. Octavie expressed this when Edmond had to leave for war. She was sad and worried, which made me sympathize for her. Her biggest fear at that moment would be to lose her beloved Edmond.

When Edmond is sent to the political prison, prison where people are sent because the upper class are ashamed of them, he has a long time to plan out his revenge. The way he decided to go through with his revenge was brilliant and very well played

For instance, Faria helped Edmond find out the enemies who framed him and analyzed the process of the conspiracy for him. “For your reply evinces neither logic nor philosophy” (chapter 17) and “at this instant a bright light shot through the mind of Dantes, and cleared up all that had been dark and obscure before” (chapter 17) are two separate sentences which perfectly describe Edmond development of understanding the darkness of human nature and ability to discern the complex relationships with others. It demonstrates that Edmond changed a lot during the days in the jail because he understood how to protect himself and let the people who almost damaged his life pay for what they did. The influences that Faria gave him made the plot become

He is young and has the world at his fingertips, he was just promoted after docking, and engaged on his way to get married. For Edmond the future is looking and his personality reflects that.

After he got his treasure with Jacopo, Edmond start the Revenge by act to a wealthy person and revenge those people hurt one by one at a time. So when Edmond executed revenge to king assistance, which is good thing but the effect was bad because it’s cause his whole family to died and he’s kind of Remorseful, but he’s still want to revenge Danglar and Fernand, Fernand was the last one that Edmond want to revenge and he’s successful, but after all of his work is just done for the goody of his self and don’t think the effect and the cause to everyone around it. That’s why Edmond was a criminal
