    themes that present themselves in cloud atlas but the one that appealed to me most was greed. Mitchell did a very good job in showing greed in each of the chapters in a variety of different ways whether it was a minimal or large amount.

    [Not] Guilty I stand in front of the mirror, glowering at my oily black hair. I hold a comb in one hand and a clump of the stringy mass in another. I’ve been trying to get this knot out for ten minutes. I sigh. Just more proof that my life is a disaster – I can’t even keep my hair combed.
