- The Count of Monte Cristo The Count of Monte Cristo is an engrossing story. I wasn’t expecting it to be as good as it was, however, it held my attention.

The main impression the book made on ... put into poverty upon the death of his father who was a solder and not a favorite of Napoleon. The main themes in The Count of Monte Cristo are not veiled in any sense. It’s a forthright book; the author teaches basic morality and human nature and he wants you to learn them.

The major themes are: ambition and villainy are ...

- 5378: Will There Be a World War III?
- ... World War II? The possibility is definitely there. “ Franklin D. Roosevelt was speechless. It was Dec. 7, 1941, and word had just reached him that the Japanese had bombed Pearl Harbor- sinking much of America’s Pacific fleet. FDR sat still for 18 minutes.
