Les Mis questions

 One thing that has been on my mind ever since we started reading Les Mis is, How can the bishop be so selfless and forgiving? Surely there has to be something that will trigger him causing rage to run through his veins and/or body?

LES MIS CH 10

 The "sick" man was a little sassy. Ignorance and a tyrant, I think I can see the similarities. The fact that they were able to talk like humans was kind of cool. I never get to see that with Americans.  

LES MIS CH 9

   -first impression I think it is amazing that their bond with each other is something else. I can understand when she said that she knows what her brother needs without him needing to speak because I too have brothers of my own and when I am closest to the one who is 20, I can easily understand him as we have wen through similar experiences. It is a certain part of a bond that not many can explain.

Election day !!

 I don't know how I am typing with my hands shaking. It's almost 8:50 pm and I'm monitoring the election results. As of right now, Biden has 70% of the votes even though the state has 52% votes reported in California.  9:03 pm update: One thing I noticed was that California really helped Biden get many more electoral votes :D

HOW I READ: LES MIS

      a) Something about LES MIS that I like so far is how the author portrays certain words to show foreshadowing and certain meanings.      b) Three techniques Victor Hugo used in LES MIS that made it effective are Connotation , Characterization , and Syntax .  CONNOTATION = This technique allowed me to see certain parts of the book where it implied foreshadowing CHARACTERIZATION = This technique allowed me to understand certain aspects of the words that indirectly described the bishop SYNTAX = This technique made me see that it's okay to have run-on sentence as long as they make see sense
