LES CHARACTERS

The characters seemed different in the movie because I never imagined Fantine and Cosette looking so beautiful.  I never imagined them looking the way they look like in the movie.  Another thing that surprised me the most was their talking.  Instead of them talking normal, they sing to what they are saying.  Also, I never imagined Jean Valjean letting Javert go after everything he has done to him.

Les Book / Les Movie

The movie is almost the same as how to book is. I never imagined the characters talking in a singing voice. The place is also very different to how I imagined it to be.

MY BEST WRITING

I selected 2 posts from my blog which are Endgame and my Ignite talk.  I am proud of these posts because I can express and show how interested I'm in a topic. I have a writers' conference coming up with Dr. Preston, and I'm excited to go over what I have improved on since the beginning of the school year.  I chose these two pieces for specific reasons.

MONKEY SEE/HEAR/DO

The learning modalities that are most effective for my Masterpiece topic are that I’m going to use slide shows as a visual so my audience could see my work and follow along.  Also, I’m going to ask for people to volunteer/ participate in showing what my topic is about.  A last thing I’m going to do is that I’m going to make my slides clear enough for my audience to be able to understand.

ESSAY DU JEAN VALJEAN

          Jean Valjean is a dynamic character because he changes throughout the story.  He changes because in the beginning of the story he steals silver from the bishop and then realizes that what he did was wrong.  Another reason that made him realize and change who he really is, was Petit Gervais.  A last thing that made Jean Valjean change is Cosette.           Jean Valjean started changing when the bishop was helping him from getting arrested, and started to reflect on what he was doing wrong.  On chapter XII, The Bishop Works, it states that, " We came across him.  He was walking like a man who is running away. We stopped him to look into the matter.  He had this silver--."  This means to me that Jean Valjean stole the silver because he needed to keep his family from starving.  This helps him later reflect on everything he had done wrong and will soon find out that stealing causes even more problems.           Another reason why I think Jean Valjean is a dynamic cha

LES THEMES

An idea I have gotten from the book that we have read so far is that Father Fauchelevent found a way to have Jean Valjean and Cosette enter through the door and to be able to stay there with no more hiding.

IGNITE TALK

My topic is what happens after we die?  I've heard that once you are dead you still have cells in your body that are still working.  I did some research on my question and found some answers to my question.  I learned that hearing is the last sense to go in the dying process.  A connection is when Fantine died in Les Mis.  I'm going to continue doing some more research on this topic to figure out what really happens after we die.
