Les MIss #3

 In chapter three it describes the district of Digne having a few of plains, many mountains, an dhaving hardly any roads. The bishop had to visit thirty-two curacies, forty-one vicarships, and two hundred and eighty-five auxiliary chapels. He did this on foot when it was in the neighborhood. If it was on the plain he went in a tilted spring cart. Two old women accompanied him when the trip wasn't to long. One day he arrived at Senez an ancient episcopal city. He rode his donkey and when he arrived some of the people laughed at him. He explain that he did so because he needed too and not because of his achievements as a priest. During his visits he talked to cities about how their neighbors did things differently. In Catons he talked to them about Briancon. They helped the poor and unlike in Catons. Because of this he said the city was blesses by god. He did this for every place he visited.

PAGES FROM MY JOUNAL 2

1.I think that when we were kids we had more fun because the things we consider fun was free to do. As I a kid I thought of going outside or going up stairs to play with my toy cars. As i got older i consider other things fun like going to the movies or going out to eat my friends or going to places like boomers or paintballing. So as i got older the things I consider fun started to cost me money to go and do.  Also as i got older school took more and more of my time.2 To build a relationship if it's online or offline I say that you have to be very talkative and interesting. I say this because when being talkative it makes things between the people who haven't meet less awkward and being interesting makes the person or the people you are meeting want to know more about you.3 I think that people depend on push notifications because they could set a reminder so easily. Instead of having to remember what you have to do which some people having trouble because they have so many oth...

 On chapter two It describes the palace of Digne. As a huge beautiful house which was build by M. Henri Puget. Three day after the bishop had arrived at the palace he went and visited the hospital. There he has a conversation with the director of the hospital about how many sick people he has. After the conversation the bishop gave up his place in the palace and moved into the hospital. Myriel received money from the state on the day he moved into the hospital. That same day he arranged how he would spend it he only kept 1,000 out of the 15,000 francs. The bishop continue to do so only keeping a small amount. Three months later the bishop demanded an allowance for expenses of carriage, expenses of posting, and expenses of pastoral visits. The people didn't seem to like this and said that Myriel was like the others a blacked-capped rascal. The evening he was given the 3,000 francs he arranged on how he would spend it he didn't keep a single franc this time. As the people see th...

MSS PART 2

 The difference between a sign and a symbol is that a sign is indicator of something specific and a symbol is something that has a more deeper and complex meaning. The three elements of a symbolic relationship are symbol, reference, and us. A word is not a sign or symbol because a sign or symbol could be understood without communication. One natural sign I have seen in the world are dark clouds which meant it was going to rain. A symbol I have seen in life is a marriage ring they have no end or beginning it is endless it symbolize the way the commitment  between the couple should be. I know this means this because my mom explained to me after she got married with my dad.

Les Mis #1

 After reading the first chapter the book seems to be very interesting. I read that Myriel is seventy years old and that he was son of a councillor of parliament of Aix. The writer describes Myriel as a well formed short in stature, elegant, graceful, and intelligent man. When the revolution came along he emigrated to Italy from France where his wife would die. After the death of his wife and no longer having any one he became a priest. He was appointed bishop of Digne by the emperor. I would say that he was able to make the lose of his wife his motivation to keep going and become a priest. After he was appointed he goes over to  Digne accompanied by Mademoiselle Baptistine. There the writer describes Mademoiselle Baptistine who was a spinster as a very lean lady with hardly any body to her. He also talks about the servant Madame Magloire which on the other hand was a small fat lady who had asthma. Myriel is installed in the episcopal and the town now waits to see its bishop a...

A WORD ABOUT THE MISERABLES

 As long as the disrespect of men through poverty, the bribing of woman through hunger, and the crippling of children through the lack of education isn't solve. Ignorance and poverty will continue to exist and books of nature like Les Miserables cannot fail to be of use.

It's symbolic

 Examples of symbols we encounter in life are traffic lights and signs when driving. Many kids encounter symbols every day like checkmarks or grades. They symbolize how good or bad they are doing in school. The meanings of the green light at the end of daisy's dock can be hope and dreams. Some ways people are similar to human are we all sleep, eat, and speak to each other in order to help each other and survive. One major way people are different from animals is that we could organize in numbers. Telling stories or inventing symbols empower people to organize in number because of the meaning behind the story or symbol.
