les mis book 2 chapter 1

We found out that the main character of the story isn't actually the bishop, but is actually Jean Valjean. This was a big surprise to me because this whole time we've been reading about the bishop and his life, just to find out that he isn't even the main character. Jean Valjean was a former inmate who was freed and was allowed to enter society again. He's been hoping to find someone who can help him. I hope that he is able to find someone when we continue reading.

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
