Update Dec. 11

Bellwrite: What is the significance of Javert's suicide? What is the significance of his suicide note? Does Javert change?

We discussed the bellwrite topic. We noted that the scene of Javert's suicide is between two straight bridges (the bridge of mercy and the bridge of our lady--AKA the Virgin Mary). We also noted that Javert is simultaneously compared to a wolf seizing his prey (Jean Valjean) and to a dog coming home to his master (Jean Valjean). We again discussed the difference between Hugo's conceptions of justice and law.

Students took the Glorious Revolution Quest.  They also began working on American Founding Topic 2: The U.S. Constitution.
