Pretend that you are the Count of Monte Cristo and complete the chart below with the
exact words from his speech. Below are his exact words, how are you going to draft
them in the graphic organizer?

Edmond Dantes: It is the Count of Monte Cristo, yet again. You see, I had the Audacity
to beg the Count to allow me to give the birthday toast to Albert. I was so insistent and
such as the graciousness of our host that he reluctantly gave up his fatherly right in
order to accommodate a guest. Even one as boorish as myself.

Young Albert has made for too much of the assistance I gave him in Rome. When I
arrived in the catacombs I watched as the criminals who tied Albert to a wall and
threatened to cut off his finger and send it to his father as evidence of his abduction.
The boy’s reply to all this was, "Do your worst." Life is a storm, my young friend, you will
bask in the sunlight one moment be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a
man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into the storm as you shout
as you did in Rome. Do your worst for I will do mine. Then the Fates will know you as
we know you as Albert Mondego, the man.
