Get Inspired By The Characters In "In Eight Months' Time"-book Review(prt1.cont) by basti1212(m): 2:26am On Feb 07, 2017
What makes them so compelling? One may ask. Is it because of their lifestyles? Their courage? Their mistakes? Their stance on women? Etc. As humble as they could possibly be, their humane nature is there for all to see. But as if in a battle field and wants to take the enemies by surprise, they disguise their most effective weapons and tends to invoke a sense of realisation there are stories that would never be heard of or read about. Come on let's explore these characters together!
The first character we want to explore is Andy Todd. He was the only child of his white America parents. His father, Greener Todd, a business tycoon - involved in various businesses( airline business - the one Andy Todd was particularly interested after his father's death, was one of such businesses). Andy Todd was a great thinker and one that had lot of believe in his abilities. He made up his mind to study meta-physics in the university when he was still a child. A course he claimed no child his age would have dreamt of. When his father died on the same bed with a young mistress, it affected his already mundane existence with women and was careful not to fall into decadence as his father did. He had all the qualities that would make him a great man though good conscience was not part of them. He would ride ruthlessly over the rights of follow man so long as he was able to get what he wants. One day, according to him, he had an encounter with a spirit called Elm. Did this happen by chance? Or change him for good or better? Stay in touch for part 2. Bye.
