There are several similarities as well as differences in the way the authors of The Count of Monte Cristo and Blessings developed a theme. The theme of The Count of Monte Cristo is to never give up hope. The theme of Blessings is to be willing to open yourself up to others. Both authors developed these themes through the actions of the main characters and in the conclusion of the passage. One of the differences in the development of both themes is that Alexandre Dumas sheds light on the thought process of the main character in The Count of Monte Cristo, while Mary Hall Surface provides limited information about what the main characters may be thinking in Blessings.
In Counting by 7’s by Holly Sloan there was an example of again and again throughout the book. Here is what happens that shows this signpost. Pattie Nguyen repeatedly said that everything that her family and Willow Chance are doing is temporary. I think that this keeps happening again and again because Pattie does not want to get her children’s hopes up about Willow staying with them permanently. This signpost is shown in real life when parents move their children to a new school and they tell them it’s temporary because they miss their friends from their old school.

The two stories both depict the main character or characters battling with an inner or exterior struggle. The main difference between these two stories is what the fears or battles are.

When the man and the boy leave behind the trapped people in the cellar, the boy becomes confused and anxious, asking his father for confirmation on statements such as “we couldnt help them because then they’d eat us” and “that’s why we couldnt help them” (McCarthy 127). The way the boy asks the man for reassurance after each sentence displays the boy’s unclear comprehension and discomfort with leaving the people behind to be eaten by the cannibals. When the boy brings up the situation again, the boy ensures that “[they’re] the good guys” (McCarthy 129). After the man reinforces the assertion, only then can the boy leave behind the topic and move on.
Having read, The Poisonwood Bible book, it was both fascinating and interesting. The author, Barbara Kingsolver, was quick with her diction and used quite a lot of figurative language.

At the outset the “guardian” starts spouting off their list of what seems like chores. Then they tell her how to cook good food, as well as how to act socially in a proper manner. These are all things a parent or guardian says to their child, this is in order to prepare them for the “real world.” This gives me the impression that it is possible that the girl is about to leave home.
The narrator is just asking to get into trouble, first stealing a stuffed parrot to be seen and heard, then stealing a car and kidnapping a baby, signifying purity and innocence, and then leaving it on its own. But when he finally gets caught, he doesn't understand his actions. Through struggle and conflict the narrator went through many emotions on his quest for love.
