les mis #4

In chapter 4, the bishop spent an entire day with a man who was soon to be executed. The bishop prayed for this man and helped him see light. The man being executed was so devastated, he didn't know what to do with himself. On the day of the execution, the bishop continued to talk to him until it was time for the execution to happen. The author makes it clear that he is against the death penalty. He talks about how only God has the right to condemn someone to death, humans shouldn't have that power. I agree with the author, I'm against the death penalty. I don't think someone should be killed for a crime. I know stories of many people who have been sentenced to death for crimes they didn't even commit and I find that so wrong. Innocent people have lost their lives to the death penalty.

it's symbolic

 1.)  Three examples of symbols that I encounter in life are looking at the time and seeing repeating  numbers (3:33, 2:22, 11:11, etc.).

The color green symbolizes GO as in he should go and try to get Daisy to fall in love with him.  3.) People are similar to animals because we do the same things, we eat, sleep, reproduce, and then we die.  4.) Human's are different because we're able to fill our minds up with ideas and thoughts that animals can't think. We create stories and share ideas with each other, animals can't do this. 5.) Telling stories and inventing symbols can empower people to come together because there are many people who will agree or like the stories or symbols you're sharing. Take political opinions for example, if there are lots of people who share the same opinion when it comes to politics, they'll get together and be around each other

The bishop lives in a small house that doesn't have much decoration but he thinks it's enough. This tells me that he's a humble man that doesn't need a big house, he's perfectly fine with a small house. The house was old because he wanted to preserve it for as long as he could. He also kept no locks on his doors so that anyone could come into his house if they were in need of help. I find it amazing that he did this without being scared of any criminals breaking into his house. That shows that he puts others and their well-being before his own safety.
