How I Read #3

 Les Mis

When Mr. Preston announced that we were gonna read Les Mis, I was very excited. Of course the only downhill is writing about the chapter or answering questions (yes I'm very lazy to do it). But then again you get this cool feeling when you have the answers right. Anyways the book is very interesting and such humble the Bishop is. Now if I remember correctly, Mr. Preston asked us for 3 literary techniques we've seen in the book. From my perspective I've seen foreshadowing, characteristic and imagery. Starting with foreshadowing it's really simple. Just look at the chapters and you can already envision what might happen such as Chapter II-M. Myriel Becomes M. Welcome or Chapter IX- The Brother As Depicted By The Sister. Next is Characteristic. The author really characterizes the Bishop as a humble, kind man. Normally they're all characterized like this but in real life they're corrupted. Also his sister praising him for all the good he has done for other, always being selfless. Lastly imagery. The author details the settings, items and people and you can really envision it right in front of you. For example, the Bishop's house was describe with "worn out" furniture and being small.
