Both stories also begin with a safe arrival to a new country. Both also said the journey to the new country was a two month long trip.

The last similarity I will talk about was the theme that things are not always as good as they may seem at first. In “Flowers for Algernon”, Charlie got an operation to make him smarter.

Tone is used in The Count of Monte Cristo to convey the emotion behind Edmond’s words. While Edmond is imprisoned feels as if he will never be released. He gets into a funk and truly believes “...that death brings release from suffering...” (Dumas 42). The word choice in the quotes leads the reader to hear the emotion behind the words, the reader can feel the agony that Edmond is experiencing.

In one particular story of Ursula K. Le Guin, “The Ones Who Walk Away from Omelas,” one theme is evident throughout this short story, and it centers around the neglect of morals and ethical beliefs.
