Les Mis Chp. 13

 After reading chapter 13, I really like the part where they talked about how the bishop was full of love and that was why he was such a good person. The background of a person didn't matter to him, they were still a person. And it was nice to see that people could somewhat recognize this and they all respected him for it. Also, the part about the Bishop acing through the night and praying while everyone else was asleep caught my attention as well. Mainly because my dad does the same thing in the morning before everyone else is awake, so it just brought up some memories. One thing I do wonder is if  being this good loving person comes easy to him or is it still challenge for the Bishop. They said how he is now was because it was more of a conviction than natural, so I wonder if he still struggles with it.

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, even though it wasn't even his job to do so.     The Bish

I Have The Answers

    1. What has been the hardest part of starting school during the pandemic? The most challenging part of starting school during the pandemic is having to sit in front of the computer screen and just listen to the lesson for an hour. Though I don't have to do that for all my classes, I do have a couple where we just listen to the teacher just talk for 50 +minutes. That gets really boring very quickly, especially since their isn't as much group work to break up the time. 2. What have you enjoyed the most about starting school during the pandemic? The most enjoyable part of starting school in a pandemic has been the flexibility. It is really nice to have a day where I can sleep in and work on whatever I want at my own pace. And since most assignments aren't do until the next week I an organize my schedule a lot easier  and plan what I'm gonna work on for the day. 3. What are your goals in this course this year? What do you want to learn or get better at? One of my goals
