Usually you just count anything three or more letters - or let your word processing program count it for you!
In word count calculations for novels, both "a" and "the" count as one word. Each word, regardless of its length or commonality, is counted as one towards the total word count.
The main characters in the book "Counting by 7s" by Holly Goldberg Sloan are Willow Chance, Mai Nguyen, Quang-ha Nguyen, Dell Duke, Jairo Hernandez, and Pattie. These characters play significant roles in Willow's journey of self-discovery and growth throughout the novel.
Count Julian - novel - was created in 1970.
No, a true story cannot be called a novel. A novel is a work of fiction that invents characters, settings, and plots. A true story, on the other hand, is based on real events and characters.
The main characters in "The Count of Monte Cristo" are Edmond Dantès, a sailor who is wrongfully imprisoned and becomes the Count of Monte Cristo; Fernand Mondego, Edmond's jealous rival; Mercedes, Edmond's fiancée; Haydée, the Count's love interest; and Villefort, a prosecutor who plays a significant role in Edmond's imprisonment.
For me it was 'Gankutsuou: The Count of Monte Cristo' which is based upon Alexandre Dumas' novel .
Short Story
A Roman à clef novel is a fictional work where the characters are thinly veiled representations of real people. One example is "The Beautiful and Damned" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, where the characters Anthony and Gloria are believed to be inspired by the author himself and his wife Zelda Fitzgerald.
Most of the characters will be played by the same actors and actresses. Rumor has it Michael Copon or Steven Strait will be the new Jacob Black.
Castlevania's Dracula is loosely based on Count Dracula and the historical figure Vlad Tepes (pronounced te-pesh) the Impaler. Dracula is castlevania is more like a spellcaster and demon and the Count Dracula in the novel is a bit more 'regal and aristocratic.' They bear similar personalities, however. You don't here Count Dracula in the novel using moves like hellfire and demonic megiddo, anyway! :)
Harper Lee based the fictional town of Maycomb in her novel "To Kill a Mockingbird" on her hometown of Monroeville, Alabama. The town of Monroeville served as inspiration for the setting and characters in the novel.
E.M. Forster is credited with popularizing the terms "round" and "flat" characters in his book "Aspects of the Novel" published in 1927. He used these terms to classify characters based on their depth and complexity in storytelling.
