Update Dec. 6

Bellwrite: Write in your commonplace book.

We discussed Les Miserables and began preparing for the final exam (see separate post). We considered Hugo's description of the social "subsoil" of France (pp.280-281). We considered the ways in which characters are "reduced" in the story and how the reduction of mankind is related to the animal/bestial imagery in the novel.

Finally, we considered the ways in which Les Miserables can be considered an epic work, using this list of epic conventions (http://english.tjc.edu/greekromanepic/conventions.htm).
