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.

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 in the begin to the

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 at work.

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 tha
