We are [not] les mis

Working with my lit circle is a bit frustrating so far because there is a lot of worked to be done and a we are trying hard but there is always someone in the group including me who can slack off a bit and mess up our grade. I think from the time now and by the time we got to turn it in will be a bit all over the place and stressful but I have confidence that me and my circle will be able to finish this assignment and get a good grade for our first semester.

This book matters

A really good part that has been with me ever since we read and we are actually still reading about it is not fearing people based on there past. In Les Mis the pope is always talking to all the people and trying to help them which most people fear. I see people who have a troubled past differently now because you don't know if they are trying to change so why judge off their past. You wouldn't want anyone to treat you bad just cause of your past even though you are trying to change. If we spread more positivity around the world we can make this a happier place and change it from how bad it is now to how good the world has the potential to really be.

Staying power

After I read a book there isn't a lot of stuff that sticks with me. The only couple of things that stay with me are the juicy parts. What I mean by the juicy parts is the good bits. The parts that everyone wants to read. The parts I consider juicy would be fights, and arguments everything that causes conflict I like and sticks with me.

Learning alone and together

Learning independently is learning by yourself u have no one to make connections with and collaborative learning is learning with someone else and being able to share ideas with that person. Collaborative learning works better for me because I like hearing what someone else thinks and comparing it with what I think. I do that so that I can get a better feel for it and understand it better. If my answer isn’t similar with someones then it’s easy to ask someone where they found it and why they think that. Independent learning doesn’t work for me because I get tired and bored by myself and I won’t learn that way.

My big question/November

My question was about wanting to know how people say that dogs can only see black and white. How do they know colors they can just choose a random colors like they didn’t go to school and learn basic stuff like that

My memory of reading

I remember a good amount of what we have read so far there isn’t that much that i forgot. I still remember that Monsieur was so kind and everyone looked up to him but he didn’t fit in with anyone else. I remember that he was rich before he went to Italy but when he came back he was a new man and started helping people out before he helped himself. He was also very brave for leaving his door unlocked every day for anyone whom may need help. He would go to all sorts of places by himself to help people who there peers where scared of.

Les mis today

My mom reminds a bit of Monsieur Bienvenu because like him he goes around helping people giving them money because stuff has happened with them. Recently my mom did sorta the same thing because her friends family house had just burned down in Mexico and she had helped by giving them a couple hundred bucks and donating some clothes to them. The judgement of people in les mis is still the same as it is today. In the book the lady with Monsieur Bienvenu tells him to lock the door because there is this dangerous guy who just got out of jail in town. She was talking about Jean even tho he seems nice offering to pay for a place to eat and sleep. It reminds me of trump when he said all Mexicans are rapist drug lords and all that just because a couple of us are bad. When Monsieur goes around in the begging trying to spread the word of GOD also reminds me of my mom because my mom does the same thing. Whenever she sees that her friend or someone even on the street she sets up something sorta like a meeting and she sits down with them and eats and tells them that there is hope in GOD and if you have him your life you should never worry because everything will turn out find.

Les mis and the French Revolution

One connection is that in the book the poor were afraid of the rich and wealthy because they were being controlled by the wealthy. During French Revolution It was the same thing the poor had it hard and were getting controlled by the rich. Another one is that G— was an executor for the people who broke the law in France during the revolution when he was younger.

Les mid part 1 summary

Mognseiur bienvenu was not always so kind like how the author makes him seem. Before he was a pope he was living a good life. He was wealthy and healthy. He tracked of to Italy and once he came back he was a new man. He had changed from his old self. Now he was generous, caring, and not judgemental. He goes around helping people that people fear like thiefs. He doesn’t care about what bad the people have done. Nor does he care if they are still doing it. He just wants to help out. Monsieur Bienvenu doesn’t take offensive when G— calls him out and says he isn’t as good as people say. He says he’s just a rich person with no emotion towards anyone but him self. But then
Monsieur beinvenu tells him what he has done and how he got to his house.

Monsieur Bienvenu is a man of faith throughout the whole book we are reading right now he is always is being so trustful of people he doesn’t know. In the book mongsuier Bienvenu was going to see G—- and was instead to take guards with him so no burglars mess with him. Instead he doesn’t take the advice and goes on by him self to see G—. Monsieur Bienvenu doesn’t even lock his doors at night he goes to bed with his door always unlocked and believes no one will go inside and do something bad. He always leaves his door unlocked so that if people need help they are welcomed.

Although the author spent so much time making this character seem so good. He mad us all sorta look up too him with his generosity. He lets us know something that we didn’t expect. When the author let us know my whole class was surprised. The author told us that he doesn’t fit in with anyone else in his community or no one in general. It’s crazy to think because he seems like such a good man  that we all aspire to be like just to know he doesn’t fit in. Another thing that we read about today was him taking in people today. Jean didn’t have anywhere to rest because he had gotten kicked out of everywhere. He decided to sleep on a stone step until a lady asked him what he was doing. He responded with I have nowhere to go I’ve been everywhere everyone has chased me off. I knocked at ever door. The lady asks have u knocked there and points to the popes home. Jean says no. The lady tells him go knock there. It’s Monsieur Bienvenus house. Jean explains him self to him and asks if he can stay. Beinvenu says yeah. He then takes him in and feeds him as well as gives him a place to sleep.

I think jean is a nice person and tries to be nice to everyone by using his manners but people are treating him poorly and asking him to leave

Monseignuer Bienvenu

Mongseignuer Bienvenu doesn’t fit in with the rest of the people in his community. He is very generous kind and doesn’t judge anyone which is crazy to think that he doesn’t fit in.

Success

Victor Hugo spent so much time giving us details on Monsieur Bienvenu on how he was as a person. He would tell us how he would help the unfortunate on how he never judged anyone if u needed help or guidance he would provide it. Monsieur looked so perfect in our eyes made him admired by us on how generous he was. The section that we read today was Victor Hugo told us that Monsieur didn’t fit in with rest of the people. He told us that so that we can see success isn’t all about having money it’s about knowing that you gave it your all and becoming the best that you are capable of becoming.

Intellectual opposites attract

When Bienvenu argues with G——- I find that the most interesting part is when he calls out Bienvenu and says he isn’t all perfect as he thinks he is. G—- told Bienvenu that he was just rich and wealthy and didn’t care about anyone else. Then Bienvenu tells him that it’s true. Then he tells him everything that he has done and what he did to go see G——. Later then G—- calms down and apologize the interesting part in the argument is how Bienvenu calmed him down without yelling at him.

Get to know me

Now days we usually get to know people from either Instagram or in class. In Instagram there is a section of people you can follow that u might know in your area and that’s how a good amount of people meet each other and hit off. Another one of the ways people meet is in class you just start talking to some random person and they usually will want to keep talking to you so they will ask you for your social media usernames and then that’s how you would keep in contact with someone out of school.

What’s this all about

M. Myriel is a character that went to Italy rich wealthy. When he came back from Italy he had changed he was now generous. He goes out and gives money to people who need it more. He gave up his big home so that the people in the hospital didn’t live all cramp so he took the room that the patients were in. He had faith in everyone in his community. So much that he would leave the door unlocked. M. Myriel wouldn’t judge anyone. If the rich wealthy people needed some help he would help them out as well. He wouldn’t even be worried about bandits stealing from him he said if they came across him that he would help guide them to god path. He said they needed someone to tell them about the word of god. Les Míserbles is mostly about what M. Myriel does and how he does it.

What a character

Characteristics of M. Myriel was one generous. He is generous because he gave up his home and gave it to the people who needed it more that were crowded in the hospital. M. Myriel was also not judge mental. He would help the poor and the rich. If that was me I wouldn’t help rich people cause they don’t really need anything. Another one is he is faithful. He doesn’t lock his door at night when he sleeps because he is faithful that nothing will happened. He was caring as well he always donated money to the poor and never kept his money to himself. He had the ability to change as well. When he left for Italy he was rich wealthy and wasn’t doing the things that he was doing now. After he came back he changed and started being generous.

Today we read the charger how the pope protects his house. He doesn’t do anything like action wise with a weapon to protect him self. He leaves his door unlock. He just has trust that nothing is gonna happen.

Summary

While we read the book we came up with what M. Myriel does on his free time. M. Myriel spends his free time reading and writing. M. Myriel would read about the Bible. M. Myriel would also write about what he read in the Bible. M. Myriel would visit the poor but if he can’t visit the poor or doesn’t have any people he visits the rich. M. Myriel doesn’t eat breakfast until it’s lunch time.
