READING AND THINKING TOGETHER

I work in a literature circle with 3 other people.  On Monday we are going to go over and review what we have read so we can be able to understand what is happening on during the book.  We are also going to ask any question that we have or if we don't understand some vocabulary words.

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...

Story

   A tragic love story of a young man named Anthony and a young woman named Stacy.  It all started when Anthony got invited to a dance party.  At the party a young woman named Stacy was hanging out with her friends.  Anthony saw Stacy and he was heading towards her because he thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the world.  He sat down next to her and started talking to her.  Stacy felt the same as how he did also.  She thought that he was the best person for her.  Stacy later on that night left home and couldn't wait to tell her parents what had happened to her.  When she got there she told her parents everything but, her parents didn't agree with that love that she had for him.  They told her that she can't be with him because he was going to ruin her life.  Stacy just then left running to her room crying because of what her parents told her.  It was the next day when Anthony and Stacy met up and he told her ...

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 ...
