Based on our reading and conversations in class, you should be able to answer these questions (and you’re welcome to do so right here!) What did Hugo want his readers to understand from the Preface?  What did he see as the purpose of this book? Who is Charles Myriel? What was his life like before the Revolution? Where did he go during the Revolution? How did he change? What is his new job? Who are Mademoiselle Baptistine and Madame Magloire?  How are they different? What techniques does Victor Hugo (the author) use to introduce these characters?  Does he use direct characterization or indirect characterization? Can you find an example for each?

 I think Hugo's preference is based towards society, There are more serious things going on in this world but people focus more on the little crimes being committed like a man stealing a loaf of bread. Now he is looked down upon when he is released into the real world, not prison.

 I’m kinda nervous because The size of this book I’ve never read a book more then 30pg’s. But 1,600+ pages well now that’s an insane amount of pages and words to read idk if my brain will wonder off or I’ll be into it hopefully I’m into it because I don’t want to read a big book I don’t like.

 I stopped at almost every station and found the air force station the most interesting because joining the air force is something I would most likely want to join when I graduate high school.

As t that it was in the interests of the “revolutionaries” to push this narrative of a popular revolt. The French Revolution was broadly a struggle between the old regime and a broad coalition of younger nobles and educated upper class officials and merchants.   he 18th century drew to a close, France's costly involvement in the American Revolution, and extravagant spending by King Louis .
