 This chapter starts off talking about the feminine instinct and a letter that is about how much they miss her and how they are doing and how their is a room without furniture and how the woodworker was old and she explained how old he was by saying it was the era of her grandmother .And how happy she is and how goo and kind her brother is and how she prays for him to be kept safe .

LES MISÉRABLES 8

 The chapter name is "PHILOSOPHY AFTER DRINKING" the name sounds like the chapter is going to be about somebody drinking , The chapter started by talking about the senator and how smart he was the chapter is pretty short but its mostly about the conversation he and the bishop had and how , I believe he was drunk by the things he was saying and the name of the chapter you can kind of seee it in this paragraph On some semi-official occasion or other, I do not recollect what, Count*** [this senator] and M. Myriel were to dine with the prefect. At dessert, the senator, who was slightly exhilarated, though still perfectly dignified, exclaimed:—

“Egad, Bishop, let’s have a discussion. It is hard for a senator and a bishop to look at each other without winking. We are two augurs. I am going to make a confession to you. I have a philosophy of my own.”

“And you are right,” replied the Bishop. “As one makes one’s philosophy, so one lies on it. You are on the bed of purple, senator.”

The senator was encouraged, and went on:—

“Let us be good fellows.”

“Good devils even,” said the Bishop.

“I declare to you,” continued the senator, “that the Marquis d’Argens, Pyrrhon, Hobbes, and M. Naigeon are no rascals. I have all the philosophers in my library gilded on the edges.”

“Like yourself, Count,” interposed the Bishop.

LES MISÉRABLES 7

 This chapter starts of with Carvate taking refuge and concealing himself with his "bandits" , He robbed and his robberies laid on the country side . The mayor talked to the bishop and told him that even with an escort he was still in danger and the bishop said "therefore i will go without an escort" I think the bishop said this because he is a very caring man  and he doesn't want anyone that is escorting him to get hurt so that is why he prefers to go without an escort in my opinion. The bishop stuck to his plan and was going to go find them even though he risked getting hurt or perhaps killed bu he said a phrase that will now stick with me and he said " I am not in the world to guard my own life, but to guard souls.” He went out with a guide and left his sister behind . The chapter continues talking about how when he returned the people went outside to look at him out of curiosity and the he went on to say that we should not fear robbers or murders and that he had faith in god 

Ofrenda

 

My parents had not had any time to put up our ofrenda and we usually do it October 30 or 31 when we comeback from trick or treating but this year were obviously not going to trick or treat , but my abuela had time and put an ofrenda for me in mexico and i never really payed much attention to the ofrendas that we did but last year i lost a friend to cancer and ever since i see the ofrenda as much more than just a table and flowers i see it as a place were she could come on November 1st and i think my parents and my sister see it as that too. I will make sure to post our ofrenda when we put it up 

How i read ""Les Mis"

When i read "Les Mis" I really get a very nice detailed image in my head because of how well Victor Hugo describes the places , the people, and they're personality. It really lets me capture an image of how they are and sometimes how they look. Victor Hugo really gives me that effect by describing the place with a lot of details like "The house in which he lived consisted, as we have said, of a ground floor, and one story above; three rooms on the ground floor, three chambers on the first, and an attic above. Behind the house was a garden, a quarter of an acre in extent. The two women occupied the first floor; the Bishop was lodged below. The first room, opening on the street, served him as dining-room, the second was his bedroom, and the third his oratory. There was no exit possible from this oratory, except by passing through the bedroom, nor from the bedroom, without passing through the dining-room. At the end of the suite, in the oratory, there was a detached alcove with a bed, for use in cases of hospitality."

The books

 Dr. Preston asked us to choose a book and the book i chose was "The Outsiders" the reason i chose this book is because my sister recommended me it and she bought it for me , She really want us to watch the movie together so everyday she reminds me to read it. Another book i chose was "The Great Gatsby" which i wanted to read a long time ago and i also plan on reading that one for fun, A book i have to read is "Don Quixote" my mom bought me the book because she thinks that i should read it because its a popular book and so i can be educated, so i will be reading it .

LES MISÉRABLES 5

At the beginning of the chapter we talked about how the bishops private and public live were almost the same , as we continued the story we heard about the bishops daily routine and i quote "he meditated for an hour, then he said his mass, either at the cathedral or in his own house. His mass said, he broke his fast on rye bread dipped in the milk of his own cows. Then he set to work.

A Bishop is a very busy man: he must every day receive the secretary of the bishopric, who is generally a canon, and nearly every day his vicars-general. He has congregations to reprove, privileges to grant, a whole ecclesiastical library to examine,—prayer-books, diocesan catechisms, books of hours, etc.,—charges to write, sermons to authorize, curés and mayors to reconcile, a clerical correspondence, an administrative correspondence; on one side the State, on the other the Holy See; and a thousand matters of businessWhat time was left to him, after these thousand details of business, and his offices and his breviary, he bestowed first on the necessitous, the sick, and the afflicted; the time which was left to him from the afflicted, the sick, and the necessitous, he devoted to work. Sometimes he dug in his garden; again, he read or wrote. He had but one word for both these kinds of toil; he called them gardening. “The mind is a garden,” said he.Towards midday, when the weather was fine, he went forth and took a stroll in the country or in town, often entering lowly dwellings. He was seen walking alone, buried in his own thoughts, his eyes cast down, supporting himself on his long cane, clad in his wadded purple garment of silk, which was very warm, wearing purple stockings inside his coarse shoes, and surmounted by a flat hat which allowed three golden tassels of large bullion to droop from its three points."

Then as we kept on reading the bishop visited the poor and mad cossocks , then he dined and The bishops diet and it consisted of only vegetables

 What does it mean to "step over the line"?  (If this phrase isn't familiar to you, look it up.)  How do we know where the line is?  Is it different for different people or different situations?  What effect does stepping over the line have on conversations and relationships?

I have heard this phrase but only in Spanish and from what i  understand "ya te pasaste de la raya" 

means you went a little to far , maybe you said something that the other person was insecure about or wasn't ready to say . I think we all know where the line is when you make fun of a family member or an insecurity then you have officially crossed the line , maybe it is different for family members then it is from friends but it works the same way

 You thought you wanted to do this, but now you're not sure.  The small plane doesn't feel like anything you've ever experienced.  There is just a thin sheet of metal between your feet... and nothing.  Just thousands of feet of empty space to the Earth below.  You stand up as the experienced skydiver next to you yells, "You're next!"  Every bump makes your knees weak.  Your stomach feels like it wants to live in your throat.  You're numb, but you move toward the open door.  Suddenly the wind whips at your hand and this is all suddenly too real.

What do you do next?  Will you sit back down or will you take the leap?  Describe your actions in detail.

I will take the leap , We only live once and i don't want to live my life like this saying "Why enjoy today when you could be worrying about tomorrow?" . I will take a jump and i will feel the adrenaline going up to my bones and the wind blowing my hair and i will be happy i took this leap because you never know what could've happened , you could have wondered all your life what if i had taken that leap you will maybe think about it everyday and since i took that leap i will never think about the "what if".

 Describe an important decision you had to make.  How did you do it?  What information did you need, and how did you get it?  What determined the direction you eventually took? 

An important decision I have to make every year is weather i will be happy in a class and try or if i will hate it and fail , I choose to pass any class no matter how much i hate it  and the thing that helps me determine if i will try is my hope of becoming a doctor/Pediatrician some day

 We opened the chapter by describing the Bishops Palace as a big palace with a lot of rooms and then they describe the hospital as small one floor and with a small garden The bishop saw how small the hospital was and how many people were in there so he said maybe the hospital should move into my palace and i could move into the hospital since of the epidemic. Later on we are shown receipts of how they used the money . "After a time the money started to flow in ". 

LES MISÉRABLES 1

 At the beginning of this chapter we are introduced to Charles Francois - Bienvenue Myriel who allegedly  the of about 70 years of age. As I continued reading i thought we met a new character by the name of M. Myriel and the point of view at this moment he was the son of the councillor of parillament of aix . His dad made him get married at about 18 or 20 years old. When the revolution came a long his wife died in his chest . M. Myriel was appointed Bishop . He walked in with a thin girl who was his sister. What i really like about this chapter was how well they introduced everyone who they brought in like the maid, the sister and even the bishop himself you really get to know them by how well he describes them
