les mis part 1 summary

    What we've read so far in Les Mis is a lot about the bishop and the life that he chose to live. In the beginning, he had anything he could ever ask for. Then, sadly, he lost it all. He even lost his wife. After this sad ordeal happened to the him, he decided to move to Italy and start a new life. Here, he became a bishop in the Catholic church. He changed his ways of living and turned into this new person who was kind, caring, giving, selfless, and humble. 

    The bishop did many kind and thoughtful things for people, some who may not have even deserved it. The bishop became a man who wasn't materialistic, and was humble. He did kind acts like giving almost all of his money to the poor and needy. He let people who didn't have a place to go sleep in his house. He didn't even keep a lock on his front door so that it allowed anyone to come in and seek shelter if they needed to. The things like these that he did had a great and positive impact on people.

    The bishop also defended those who were poor. His argument was that many thieves steal solely because of the fact that they're hungry and are in need of food. They don't want to suffer or die of starvation so they steal in order to survive. He's given so much to others and is always thinking of someone other than himself. He's a very humble man.

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.). It could be a notification that pops up on my phone or seeing repeated words/phrases that speak to me.  2.) 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

les mis #6

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.
