      1. How would you describe Edmond's relationship with Faria? Justify your answer please.
    • Luke O
       
      Edmonds 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
       
      Edmond 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
       
      I 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
       
      I 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
       
      Edmond and Faria have a strong relationship because they are the only people who talk to each other
    • John H
       
      Friend and compainion - John
    • William H
       
      I 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
       
      Jamie:  Their relationship seemed to be very strong, causing much grief when Faria died.
    • Jensen F
       
      He has a very close relationship as if he was his friend
    • Joe Johansen
       
      2. Without using a dictionary, what do you think condemn means?
    • Luke O
       
      Condemn means to decide that someone has done something. For instance a judge condemns that someone has murdered someone and is to go to jail.
    • John H
       
      dammed or cursed- John
    • Michael H
       
      Condemn normally means to be given or give punishment. E.g I condemn you to life in prison.
    • Sam T
       
      Condemn means cursed 
    • Jamie R
       
      Jamie: Suspend, expel, extinguish, and get rid of.
    • James S
       
      I think condemn means that someone has done something or said something that has influenced another person. Eg: The death penalty.
    • Jack M
       
      I think condemn means that someone has done something bad and is about to get punished for the crime that they did. 
    • William H
       
      To put someone somewhere or expel or ban them.

      3 What do you suppose has happened in the end of paragraph 4?

      I thought that he was going to pretend he was the dead body to try and escape.
    • John H
       
      He just had a moment of inspiration - John
    • Luke O
       
      I believe at the end of paragraph 4 Edmond has had an epiphany and has thought of something important. 
    • Michael H
       
      He has had a sudden and dramatic thought.
    • Sam T
       
      I thought he had a good idea that was he was going to replace Faria's body with his

      I think that Edmond Dantes has come up with an idea of how he will get to be with Faria. 
    • James S
       
      At the end of paragraph 4 I think Edmond has had an idea of what to do be with Faria.
    • Jensen F
       
      I thought he was going to pretend to be the dead person
    • William H
       
      At the end of paragraph 4 Edmond thinks he has had a brilliant idea and is very happy with himself.
    • Jamie R

      5. What do you think precarious means?
    • John H
       
      Like on the edge of a knife, can slip either way, balanced on the edge of a cliff, one small push and you fall off

      I believe precarious means on the edge.
    • Michael H
       
      An unstable or dangerous position.
    • Sam T
       
      I think that precarious means it could go either way 
    • William H
       
      Standing on a knife edge, balancing on thin ice. Things are very risky and close.
    • James S
       
      I think it means you are delicate and fragile and very close to failing.
    • Jamie R
       
      Jamie: Uncertain, worried, or unsure
    • Jack M
       
      I think that precarious means delicate or very close to dying or something going bad.
    • Jensen F
       
      Im not very sure
    • Joe Johansen
       
      4. Why do you think the author Alexandre Dumas has extended sentence 4 in paragraph 5?
    • Luke O
       
      I believe the author has done this to build suspension and interest in the paragraph.
    • Michael H
       
      I believe he extended the sentence and used lots of commas to create a sense of drama and mystique. 
    • John H
       
      Because it has the same idea so they don't need extend it
    • Sam T
       
      I think he has done this because he wanted to hook the readers and build suspense
    • Jack M
       
      I think that the author extended sentence four and used lots of commas to add suspense and create drama.  It also is stating a list of things that is happening.
    • William H
       
      Because things are happening one after the other and going on and on. It also builds incredible suspense
    • James S
       
      I think he extended the sentence to create suspense and make you think what is going to happen.
    • Jamie R
       
      Jamie: For suspense to be built

      I agree with luke and to list all his thoughts

    • Jensen F

      By using descriptions like, "a dim light reached Dantes' eyes." The author describes the scene and not what is directly happening
    • Jack M
       
      The author has used show not tell by describing the scene not telling them and using descriptive language.
    • William H
       
      The author is describing/explaining the scene and the emotions but still making us think about what actually is happening. 
    • James S
