Blog Post #1 The Count of Monte Cristo by Alexandre Dumas

Title of the Book: The Count of Monte Cristo

Author: Alexandre Dumas
(Adapted by Mitsu Yamamoto)

Genre: Classic

Total pages of the book: 236

Pages I read this week: 40 (40/236)


Sentence #1:

The main character of the book is Edmond Dantes. He is a hard-working, young, smart and really lucky person. He is in love with a young lady and he married her before he was arrested. He is also the captain of a ship. In the beginning of the book Edmond "made" an enemy, Fernand. They don't like each other because they love the same woman.

Sentence #2:

Edmond is annoying and terrible, because he loves the same lady with me. But, he is luckier and he married her. I have to find a way to kill him, or take a revenge.  That's what Fernand believes.

Sentence #3:

If I had to choose something, in order to put it in a time capsule, this would be a metal heart.

Sentence #4:

 I believe that this object would represent the start/beginning of the book in the best possible way, because it represents the main theme of this period in the book. The main theme of this period in the book is the main character's love with a young lady. Even though, he is the captain of a ship, he travels to many different places and ports, so he doesn't see her a lot, they are still in love and true to each other.

Sentence #5:

I think that if someone who had read this book, opened the time capsuled that the metal heart was in, he would for sure recognize and understand the reason I put this object in the time capsule. That's because, as I said, the love between these two people is the main theme of the book in the beginning.
