Hello ! How nice it was to receive from you new letter — I read it a few times in a row. You actually gave collie Puppy? That's great! What did you call it? How do you treat it? Unfortunately, my parents strongly disagree keep in the house a cat or dog because they are afraid of wool, damaged furniture and Wallpaper. And I think that the animal must be — after all, how much joy, warmth and love brings it all home! I want to tell you that I started attending a circle macrame at our club. It turns out that weaving dates back to ancient seafaring craft — knitting knots. The rope can be painted in different color and weave of her toys, ornaments, planters, handbags and even clothing. I already figured out what gifts will make all for the New year. Latest news: in our class there is a new girl with an old Russian name Arina — gymnast from circus. She has an amazing braid to his knees. It is surprisingly sociable, she made friends immediately, as if were together for eight years, and not only a week. At its invitation, we whole class went to the circus. Arina were amazing, I got the impression that it may meet in any figure, so it is flexible. It is a pity that after a few months it will go to a new town on tour, the circus is not in place. And in my school soon will be traditional ballroom dancing competition, and now almost my entire class disappears during rehearsals. Many of our girls from the first class go to the dance, so the waltz, and Samba we set ourselves. At first she was afraid not to find the right partners, because Samba is very catchy and energetic dance, but our boys did not disappoint us. So have all the chances to win! Anya imagine, I only recently learned that in our house lives a very interesting woman — Anna Kovtun, a war veteran and known throughout the region craftswoman: she embroiders pictures. How amazing it turns out! When you look from afar, it seems that before you a piece of wildlife. Anna Ivanovna has repeatedly taken the first prizes at various exhibitions, and once even ran an article in the newspaper. My mother promised that in the summer again would get me a ticket to "Aistenok", and I go to camp. Finally we meet again! I have missed you so much! We are definitely going to swim in the lake, dance and sing songs under a guitar. And in the evenings to come up with a mysterious history. I even think that they are worth recording — if you ever release a book? What all can be (I know, you laugh now!). I wonder will we recognize each other in a year? Is there a big change? I look forward to your letter. Write, what is new in your life, what are your plans for the future. If possible, send me a photo of you and the puppy. Because probably already done a lot of interesting shots. On this finish. Prior to the meeting. Your friend.

1.) As a young woman, Mercédès is kind of one-dimensional character. She's beautiful, exotic, and faithful. She has a kind heart. She's happy for Edmond when he returns and she cries for him when he's taken away. She tolerates Fernand, despite his threatening demeanor, and lets him know that she's willing to sacrifice her life if he should try to hurt Edmond. What more could you ask for in a woman? Well, maybe a little more character development. But then we meet older Mercédès, Fernand's wife. What's the deal with her? How could she have abandoned Edmond? He was only gone for like, fourteen years right? What an ungrateful…wait, what's that? FOURTEEN YEARS? OK, sure, she married a big jerk, but on the plus side she raised a pretty cool, if cocky, son. She's one of the first characters to recognize Monte Cristo as Edmond; she accepts her fate and leaves quickly after Fernand is exposed, and she's suitably chastened by the experience. So, looking at all that you'd think she might deserve a break, right? Heck, she even has to send her only son away to war. Mercédès ends up being her own harshest critic: "You did have faith," she tells Edmond, "you had strength, you trusted in God, and God sustained you. I was a coward, I denied Him, so God abandoned me; and here I am!" (112.105). This is the last we hear of Mercédès. The Count moves on, finds love with Haydée, and rides off into the sunset. Meanwhile, Mercédès left to live in the old Dantès apartment in Marseille, left to cry herself to sleep, just as she was left to cry when Edmond was taken away to prison. Unwilling to "hope" and "wait" – the two things the Count tells Valentine and Maximillian they must do – she suffers as a result. But, really, hasn't she suffered enough? Is this punishment really called for?
