Crewe and Cristo

I read Sara Crewe off gutenberg online a few weeks ago. Having gotten the book idea from Cinderella Ate my daughter. It was a wonderful book on good mannered princess back in merry old England. I absolutely wish that our day and age would go back to that refinement of manners. She was not entitled rather in a horrible mess her only friend was Emily her doll, it reminded me of Tom Hanks in Cast Away actually. Though she was scourged and beat up she still treated the people around her with the utmost respect. It was amazing! Contrast that kind behavior with Count of Monte Cristo though two different cultures the French are more passionate people then the English particularly about lovers. Edmond Dante's is regrettably wrenched for being a simpleton. The author is amazing in his writing. Traditionally, Christian writings you see the good people get rich and the greed people are in awful situations as punishment, but here it's reverse and Dantes takes upon himself the role judge and has revenge which blows up in his face in the end. It is rich with adventures and scheming. I love this book.
