Character Sketch of Franklin | The Lastling

He is authorative, has an air around him which gives an aura of superiority. Franklin has the type of personality that people automatically respect. He has abnormal tastes and believes run of the mill to be pathetic. he does not feel any attraction for the opposite sex, rather he feels that the world is already full of misery than to marry and increase in its numbers. Franklin is a manipulator,and knows just how to play with their emotions and take advantage of their weaknesses.
Elegant
·                     In the beginning he was dressed in expensive clothes, had shocking white hair and also had an air of authority.
Icy control
·                     His features were like an Easter Island Statue, that he never lost control when Paris helped Tahr and the yeh-teh to escape.
Evil
·                     He planned to capture the whole family of the yeh-teh.
·                     He was ready to kill anyone to satisfy his obsession.
Well educated
·                     Tahr said that he knew the teachings of the Buddha and talked about him as he was his friend.
·                     He had also studied Psychology, Philosophy and some strange languages.
Mad obsession
·                     He was mad about collecting rare things like he went mad trying to capture the yeh-teh.
·                     Renaud also told Paris about his Idée’s Fixes.
Mad
·                     He went mad in the end, all the elegance and dignity was gone!

·                     He was talking nonsense and was wearing rags from the cave of the yeh-teh.

Systems of linear and quadratic equations

Image
A  Linear Equation  is an  equation  for a  line . A  Quadratic Equation  is the equation of a  parabola and has at least one variable squared (such as x 2 ) And together they form a  System of a Linear and Quadratic Equation A  System  of those two equations can be solved (find where they intersect), either: Graphically  (by plotting them both on the  Function Grapher  and zooming in) or using  Algebra How to Solve using Algebra Make both equations into "y =" format Set them equal to each other Simplify into "= 0" format (like a standard Quadratic Equation) Solve the Quadratic Equation! Use the linear equation to calculate matching "y" values, so we get (x,y) points as answers An example will help: Example: Solve these two equations: y = x 2  - 5x + 7 y = 2x + 1 Make both equations into "y=" format: They are both in "y=" format, so go straight to next step Set them...

Becoming Independent Represented through Independence of Paris from Uncle Franklin’s influence and becoming a good human being (she was not happy at the end when Uncle Franklin implied that she was like him as she did the yeh-teh to escape).

She took care of herself and of Tahr and Paris when they were both caught by the rebels and when they were in the jungle. Journey was used according to its literal meaning and in the form of irony. A journey is started from one point and ended at a different point. From ‘Airport.......... to the mountains.’ This was Paris’s real journey. Her second journey was that she had always idolized Uncle Franklin, till she finally saw his true colours. I...
