No money, no food, no water, no shelter, no warmth. Begging in the filthy part of town. Not allowed to jump to the larger, wealthier part of town, Beaten, assaulted, robed. After enough time managing to steal enough to leave and go o the university, Given food, drink (Beer, Cider, Water etc.) and a bed to sleep in. After all of this torture of the past, he never gave up. After showing skill and Sympathy. 2/3

The theme of the book "The Name of the Wind" is never giving up. Kvothe has had his parents murdered by being thought to be of myth. He lived in the wilderness for a year, never giving up, with no easy food, water. He never gave up. The slowly moved to the city with a "lucky" farmer giving him a ride. But the due to Kvothe not being able to get back to the cart on time, he was forced to live in the city. 1/2

2/2 But his over confident personality has lead him into some postitions of haveing to so his own wounds, and even having to explain to a doctor why he will not have a sedative (he had already taken one previously) And unfortunately his own teachers have done this to him because he has not had the proper materials to exhibit his own abilities.

1/2. The never give up and slightly over confident nature of Kvothe has lead to many instances of him have success and failure. Due to his never give up attitude he has survived through his entire family being burnt at their wagon, being a homeless boy in the streets of Tarbean and even having no money but still bartering his way into school in the middle ages.

Kvothe's attitude towards the masters at the university caused him to receive a education for -3 talents, the equal of about $3,000 dollars in our terms, that means that he just got college intuition, and three thousand dollars. For being smart, I wish that could happen to me!

Right now the main character is at a less creepy and emotionless state of mind and is still homeless, poor, and broke. Being forced into seclusion by Pike, he goes to a bar in hopes of money after hearing a girl rant about a man who will pay a silver talent if you know a story he doesn't. Sadly he does know the story of Larne. So no money for Kvothe.

the main character cannot die, making him a permanent cliff hanger of how he will live on.

I think that the overarching theme in my book currently is live and forget. What was once a happy and joyous childhood has turned into child's equivalent of torture. Being forced to live on without parents to guide him or and family for that matter, and being beaten down for anything, even begging he must find a way to move on, unfortunately there is a lack of suspense because this is a flashback, 1/2

I think that my book would make a good trilogy because t has at least three major plot points. The first being a little "demon" problem, the second being a "MYPARENTSJUSTDIEDANDI'MBECOMINGANEMO!" little Kvothe cried. and I know theirs going to be more and I'm just waiting for them to come.

The author uses flashbacks. No questions about it, straight up fact. Kvothe is reciting his child hood, and were are lucky as crap to live in America. The main character lost his parents to... Singing on the road. All of their belongings burnt. He is in mourning, now how long til disbelief?
