Requesting Help

I dont know how to print comments and printed the posts - possibly improperly

The Shadow of the Wind 200-225

Daniel learns about Julian Carax's life in the rich kids school. He also finds out about Julian's little group and how they got together. Daniel and Fermin then discover from the priest - one of the group - about Fumero's involvement with Julian Carax. In the end, Fermin reacts sickly and Daniel thinks about what he will do next with Bea.

As history is said to repeat itself, is it possible that Daniel will suffer the same as Julian did?
How will Fumero's involvement in Daniel's investigation change things?

The Shadow of the Wind 175-200

Daniel's awkward date with Beatriz becomes one of telling stories. Daniel, with no other way in mind to satisfy Bea's boredom of Barcelona, tells Bea of all of his discoveries on Julian Carax and The Shadow of the Wind. She becomes interested and Daniel introduces her to the Cemetery of Forgotton Boooks. Bea gets her own book to read and Daniel goes to continue his investigations on Carax. After listening to Fermin's inquiries, Daniel learns that the adress given was actually not that of a lawyer, but was collected by Nuria and now Daniel believes that she may have lied to him. Then, Daniel finds out that Bea got introuble for spending the night out of the home. Thomas, after finding out that Daniel was the reason she was out of her home, warned him not to hurt his sister. The Sunday after that event, Fermin met Daniel to continue the investigation of Carax - Daniel finally told Fermin about his discoveries and continuing investigation - by asking questions about Carax from one of Julian's old school companions, who now is a man of God. The priest reluctantly agreed to speak of what he knew about Julian Carax.

What would Fermin do once Fumero finds him?
What should Daniel do once he can speak to Bea again?

The Shadow of the Wind 150-175

The watchman was taken by the Fumero, Fermin's nemecis. After being warned by Fumero, Daniel did not do anything; perhaps he was not able to do anything about it. With that situation in the back of everyone's mind, Daniel continues his search for information on Julian Carax. His leads take him to Nuria Monfort. After begining his conversation with her, Daniel and Nuria go up to her apartment for her to give information she has in a more secret place. There, she talks about what she knew about Carax and his movements from Spain to France. She doesn't recall anything about a Penelope. She also mentions that she didn't find out about the perposed marriage until after. She also mentions of Lain Coubert - the name of the devil under Carax's book - and how he burned the wherehouse of books to try to destroy Carax's works. Then, there was a hint of lust between the two as Daniel was leaving to his engagement with Bea.

Why was Nuria Monfort acting so close to Daniel?
Where will Daniel's new leads take him?

The Shadow of the Wind Chunk 125-150

Daniel enters into Julian Carax's room to find it full of crucifixes. He goes to Carax's desk and finds a sketchbook. There he sees the imaginations of the troubled adolescent. He then uses his new found information to continue his search for knowledge of Julian Carax. Pretending to be a relative, Daniel hears more about Julian Carax's parents' relationship and how the rumour went of Julian not being the child of his mother's husband. Not only does Daniel learn more about Julian's parents, but he also enters into the realm of Julian's love life, Penelope. Daniel also runs into another antagonist. An Inspector Fumero, who is looking to capture Daniel's friend, Fermin.

It appears that this is not the first mention of the Inspector, but is it possible that Fermin will have to run away again? If he has to, would he take Bernarda?

The Shadow of the Wind 100-125

Daniel moves on with his Carax and this takes him to Carax's father's apartment. Here, he talks to the owner of the building for information on Carax's parents in the apartment. Daniel is told of the rumours that were going around about that relationship. They later enter into the apartment and Daniel wanders around inspecting the roof turned apartment. Daniel then notices footprints that he assumes are fresh.

Is it possible that the person whose face is burned is the one who entered the room?

The Shadow of the Wind Chunk 4

Daniel continues on with his life after gaining a new friend, Fermin Romero de Torres. This man lost his material life after the war and became a homeless drunkard. Daniel later brought him into work for his dad in the book shop. Torres, despite being immature at times, worked hard and at the end of the chunk, there lies a possibility of love between the Clara's maid and Torres.

Could Clara's maid finally have found the man that she was searching for?
