Les Mis #2

 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 that he is using the money on what is needed more and more money continues to go through he hands but still he never decides to keep any. If I had to be honest I don't think I could point out anyone who would done the same. To many people money is everything to where if they don't have any they consider themselves jokes.

Final Refection For World Literature 2020-2021

  Many things made this course different to any other course I have taken. One of the things that made it different were our blogs. I have never had a teacher with the idea of having blogs. I liked the fact that we could go back and see our finished work. My sister in law also likes helping me or seeing the work I have done. So the bogs made that very easy to show her.    They are many meaningful things we went over in this course. I found the journals the most meaningful we got to write our thoughts on different topics every day. Not only that but we also got to write about anything we wanted and express our selves. I found the journals a good way to express our selves and thoughts we have on certain topics so I say it was the most meaningful.     When it comes to my work I am most proud of the effort I put into the work I did finish or post on my blog. I do think I could've kept my blog up to date or posted more. I do wish I had kept the same motivation I had ...

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...

ESSAY 1:ARGUMENT.

           Imagine If we all gave up any rights we have to our own opinions our lives would be much easier. Giving up our rights to our opinions could also improve our country in many ways and could also save lives. It could also secure the future for the next generations If people really want it to.     Many things going on in our country could be fixed or improve if people give up the rights to their own opinions. For example many protests have been going on for the killing of  African Americans in the hands of American officers which have lead to looting and shootings. We have be honest many agree that this has happen because Americans see African Americans differently and don't feel save around them because of their color or whatever it is. An example is the case George Floyd who had a American officer take a knee on his neck stopping his ability to breath till he died. You see before this happen George was already in handcuffs and had be...
