Epilogue

future of their children. Unlike Captain Pontmercy, Fantine doesn’t see her child once she leaves her. She trusted Jean Valjean to take care of her and like we hear her say in the movie, “You’ve raised my child in love / she is the best of my life” (epilogue). As she sings these lines to Jean Valjean you see how hard it was for her to leave her child, even when she had every intention to come back for her. Her life becomes somewhat similar to Jean Valjeans as she selflessly gives up her hair,…

The Most Dangerous Game; Conflicts of Story Writing Some people ask what makes a story so good. Well, the answer is conflicts. Conflicts give the story a purpose; a thrill of action. The best stories have all three conflicts, man versus man, man versus self, and man versus nature. The Most Dangerous Game by Richard Connell has all three conflicts of story writing in its 14 pages. The three conflicts make stories have adventure. Even in the most boring books ever, there is a conflict giving it a…

She tells the story in a way I as a reader enjoy. The latehomecomer…

Music has always had an important role in society throughout the ages. Through the decades music has changed in regards to style and its culture. As with anything that stimulates change music brought about conflicts between racial and gender classes.

a road, a cottage, a jailhouse and gallows. The road that goes through Treegap is long and windy. The author uses personification to describe how it twists and turns.

The epilogue romanticizes over how Mia and Sebastian’s lives would turn out to look, and it displays another vision that the audience attempts to picture at the end of the movie. Damien…
