Essay

       A character who is dynamic is a character that changes throughout the story.  A dynamic character from this book is Jean Valjean.  This character changes throughout the book because he goes to jail because he stole a loaf of bread for his sister's children, he got the silver place from the bishop, and he stole the coin from a little boy. 
     Jean Valjean is a dynamic character in this story because he was arrested and sent to jail for stealing a loaf of bread.  He wanted to help his sister because she didn't have a job or food to help her with her children.  He decided to go to the bakery to steal a loaf of bread for his family.  In page 83, and 84 it states that," One Sunday night, the bakery on the Place d l'Eglise was close by.  He punched with his fist against the glass.  The arm seized one loaf of bread and took it."  This means to me that Jean Valjean really cares about his family and doesn't want to let them die of starvness. 
     Another example on why Jean Valjean is a dynamic character is that he stole the silver place from the bishop.  The silver sets really obsessed him.  He needed the silver sets in order to sell them and get money from it.  In page 98 it states that," With the big serving spoon, they would bring at least two hundred francs, double what he had made nineteen years ' labor,"  This means to me that selling a silver serving spoon can help him get more money in order to have a job or shelter.  
     A last example of why Jean Valjean is a dynamic character in this story is because he kept a coin from a little boy.  He saw a little boy coming towards him and flipping a coin in his hand.  In page 107, it states that," Jean Valjean put his foot on it.  The boy, however, had followed the piece with his eye and had seen where it went."  This means to me that Jean Valjean didn't want to give the coin back to the little boy because in his mind he was saying that he needed those forty-sous.  After, the boy left crying because he didn't get his coin back.  Later, he has noticed what he had become.  
     Clearly, a dynamic character in the book Les Miserables is Jean Valjean.   He changed in many ways.  Later on in the story he states noticing what he has turned into.  He will regret everything he has done.  He has become a criminal person.

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...

LES MIS PART I SUMMARY

     While reading Les Mis I learned that Monseigner Bienvenu tried to do everything good but he still didn't fit in with others. This makes me think that you don't have to be rich or popular in order to succeed in life.  Succeed means to me that you are trying everything to get what you want.  I think that Monseigner Bienbevenu is a great person and that he deserves to be the best because he is capable of doing what he wants.      Another thing I find interesting while reading Les Mis is that Monseigner is a very helpful person. When old or young, rich or poor come to his house he always helps them and gives the what they need. He also devotes an hour of meditation to help himself and others.  I think that everyone that lived around him would always thank him for what he has done to others.      A last thing that I'm learning from the book is that Monseigner Bienvenu wants to see people succeed than to see them falling. He ...
