Joe Johansen on 07 Jun 151. How would you describe Edmond's relationship with Faria? Justify your answer please. -
Luke O on 28 Jul 15Edmonds relationship with Faria is a good one. They have spent a lot of time together and have become very close. This is shown as Edmond grieves Faria strongly and even has suicide thoughts so they could be together again. -
Michael H on 28 Jul 15Edmond has a very unique relationship with Faira. As they only have each other they are the best of friends and Faira's knowledge and resources make him a kind of teacher to Edmonde. -
Jack M on 28 Jul 15I would describe Edmond's relationship with Faria as very close because Edmond Dantes is grieving about his death and he wants to be with him. -
James S on 28 Jul 15I would describes Edmond's relationship with Faria as a tight connection between the two because Edmond is very depressed and sad that Faria has passed away. -
Sam T on 28 Jul 15Edmond and Faria have a strong relationship because they are the only people who talk to each other -
John H on 28 Jul 15Friend and compainion - John -
William H on 28 Jul 15I would say that the 2 were extremely close. They had been the only friends and people they could talk to for a number of years. They had survived for so long in such hard living conditions. The Faria in the end was the one that kept Edmond Dantes alive, as Edmond wouldn't let himself die for himself and Faria. Edmond says that Faria was "the only human being who united him to earth" -
Jamie R on 28 Jul 15Jamie: Their relationship seemed to be very strong, causing much grief when Faria died. -
Jensen F on 28 Jul 15He has a very close relationship as if he was his friend

I think condemn means that someone has done something or said something that has influenced another person. Eg: The death penalty.

4. Why do you think the author Alexandre Dumas has extended sentence 4 in paragraph 5?
-
I believe the author has done this to build suspension and interest in the paragraph.

I believe he extended the sentence and used lots of commas to create a sense of drama and mystique.
-
-
I think he has done this because he wanted to hook the readers and build suspense

By using descriptions like, "a dim light reached Dantes' eyes." The author describes the scene and not what is directly happening

The author is describing/explaining the scene and the emotions but still making us think about what actually is happening.

By using lots of descriptive language and not explaining exactly what is happening.

By using commas and descriptions that are mysterious you're not sure what is about to happen.
-

Because the men are suspicious as some things that are happening were not to be expected. Also he is using descriptions which make you think
