Les Mis Chapter 9

2 things really stood out to me in this chapter. The first is how real the author made the letter. Specifically with the P.S. section, and that part where it says that there was an illegible word written by Madame Baptistine. Little details like those really makes you forget that this isn't actually a real letter that was written.  I also thought it was nice to get to see the perspective of  Madame Baptistine. We've seen her reactions to things her brother does in different chapters, but this allows us to know exactly what she thinks. And even though she is scared or nervous about some of those things, she still completely trusts her brother and knows that he is just doing what is best for everybody.

It's Symbolic.

1. One symbol that I encounter a lot is my favorite sports teams logo, the Dodgers. Another symbol that I have come across is the bald eagle, which is obviously a symbol for America. The last symbol that I want to mention coming across is the cross, which is a symbol in Christianity. 2.One possible meaning of the green light at the end of Daisy's dock in The Great Gatsby   is that green means go, so he should go for it and try to win Daisy over. It could also represent money, in the sense that he needs money to win Daisy's heart. 3.Some way's people are similar to animals are that we sleep, eat, mate, and die. 4.One major way people are different than animals is that we share ideas with each other. Other animals aren't able to do that in the way that we can. 5.Telling stories and inventing symbols urges people to organize in large meaning by giving them a shared purpose. Take for example, your favorite sports team's symbol. You can go to a sports game and tell whos ...

Les Mis Part 1 Summary

     So far in Les Mis we have been focusing on the Bishop and his life. He started out as this person who  had it all and then lost it all, including his wife. Then he went away to Italy and became the Bishop. From there on his main goal is to  help people and not worry so much about the material things. We can see this in how he takes care of his house, as it is old and without many new and fancy things.     Throughout the first book we see how good ad selfless the Bishop is. He is constantly giving charity to those who need it in multiple ways. One way is by giving almost all of his money to the poor and hungry. Another is by welcoming everyone into his home in which he doesn't even have a lock on the door so anyone can come in at any time. Another important moment where he helped someone is when he spent the day with the man who was to be executed. He spent the entire day comforting the man up until his last moments, e...

Final Reflection For World Literature (2020-2021)

      This semester is unlike any I've ever had. With the pandemic keeping us home, and only attending class every other day, it was a pretty big adjustment from the previous semesters. Luckily it was a somewhat smooth adjustment as everyone was figuring out how to do life and school in a pandemic. Even with all that, one couldn't miss how even this English course by itself, is so different than any other courses.      One thing that made my English 2 Honors course different was the flexibility of it. Flexibility in a class is hard to come by with deadlines for assignments and  specific stuff we have to learn by the end of the year., but this class managed to be it. For example, in class we would have conversations about when something should be assigned or future projects that students would recommend. Maybe some of my other classes would push an assignment back by a day, but they would never ask the students if it was too much too soon. Eve...
