Count Of Monte Cristo And Blessings Comparison
Every story has a theme and authors all develop them differently. In the passages, The Count of Monte Cristo and a scene from Blessings, both develop their themes differently. Both passages have similarities and differences on how they develop a theme. One of them may make it more difficult to find the theme than the other. It’s not like someone would instantly know the theme unless you read the story or passage very carefully.
First, Blessing’s theme is way harder to find. While in The Count of Monte Cristo is hard but not as hard to find. In Blessings I think you have to read carefully about the characters and what they are talking about. The characters talk about many things and I was confused if they were looking at a map or a real place. The characters are important to theme too. The theme usually involves two or more people. In Blessings, you could say Jesse and Rene are best friends and then find the theme. I usually pay attention to the characters to see the

This is a part of a play or just the whole play so you can only really pay attention to what they are saying. The two characters talk about locations and quiz each other on directions to someplace. Like they wanted to come back to where they had gone to and had seemed so cool they had to memorize the directions to that place. They even made a map, well Jesse made it.
Second, in The Count of Monte Cristo you have to pay attention the characters and where they are. In Blessings, it was the same that you had to pay attention to the characters, but you also had to mainly pay attention to what they say. While in The Count of Monte Cristo, none of the characters really say much so it would be pointless paying attention to what they say. There is only two or three lines of characters talking. You have to pay attention to the one the passage is mainly focusing on, which is the prisoner and the

    Edwards theme was, basically God is the only thing keeping us from hell, without God all that's between us and hell is air. This shows that if God is pushed away we will be alone in this world and destined for hell. Hawthorne's theme is not to judge people for the way they grieve, because everyone is different and not everyone hurts the same.These themes are different because the moral or lesson is different. The themes are also very alike, causing this to be a hard decision.…

    Overall the theme really tied in well with the story. There was many more reasons behind this theme. But only the main ones were listed. Do not let these things lead to bigger ones. Just get it over with the first time. Then you have nothing to really worry about. In this play they did not really do that. They made things harder than they really were. They should have just solved the issues in the beginning. It should not have escalated like it did. So that is what the theme of this paper is basically saying. Just do not let problems get bigger. Solve them the first time and be done with…

The biggest difference is probably the ommision of Haydee and Maximillien and Valentine (three of the main character) and the addition of Jacapo. Jacapo does is in the book, but he is never a large character.…

    A theme is one word summing up the story. The meaning of the story is the overall lesson. For example, the theme of "Red Riding Hood is deception. The meaning of the story is to never talk to strangers. It is evident that the theme of "Zlateh the Goat" is trust and loyalty. As right-thought and self-sacrifice go for "the King of Mazy May". The message of "Zlateh the Goat” is that in many cases in time of need, pets help their owners through depression, loneliness and even at times have been known to save their lives. However, the message of "the King of Mazy May" is doing what is right. Obviously, the message of the two stories is very, very…
