In Chapter 4 of Les Mis, the author showed how kind the Bishop can be. He got to experience watching an execution and the Bishop's feelings about death penalty are that the death penalty shouldn't be done. He believes that people should only die when god chooses. He thinks that people shouldn't have that power over someone else and get to chose whether they should die or not. If the Bishop doesn't agree with death penalty, then that shows that the author doesn't agree with it either. Before reading the author's opinion about the death penalty, I though that it was fair, but only in certain cases. Like if someone killed many people, then they would deserve it. But now that I got to see how someone else thinks, I think that it shouldn't be like that. It would be fair to just leave them in jail for the rest of their life's instead of killing someone.

Final Reflection Essay

 This Semester was unlike any other. It was soooo challenging. From the beginning, this course was so much more different than any others because you have to be more independent with your writing and with yourself. The Blog was also something new that took a while for me to get used to. As well as the reading we did, the book's are more unusual and a bit more challenging to understand. Something that I found really meaningful is that Mr. Preston was very understanding and patient with me and others as well. Other teachers get frustrated quickly and want us to figure it out. The thing that I'm most proud of in this class is learning to post on my Blog. At first I didn't understand much of how to post, and when to post or even how to start writing whatever it was. In other classes I'm proud of doing some work. Even though I still have missing work, I know that I'm trying my best while dealing with things here at home. Something I wish I would've done differently i...

12/16 Journal

 The way that I keep my phone secured is with a password, and I keep it with me at all times so no on really has any access to it. My computer and other stuff are in my room and I never really leave my room so no one besides my sisters can get access to it.

How I Read

 The four recommendations are, To FIRST read the book that you love. Or read genres that you love, because if you don't, your not going to want to read the book for the fact you wont be interested. SECOND is to seek new ideas and give other books a try. You never know, they might end up interesting you. THIRD you have to see how YOU understand the word read. For example, when we were younger, reading was about spelling out words and learning the sound they make. But now it's different. You have to understand what's going on in the book and what character id doing, who is who, an a lot more. So you have to get a full understanding on what exactly it is that your doing. FOURTH if your confused about something or your not understanding what's going on, don't stress yourself out as much trying to find everything on the page, because sometimes it might be put in a way that you don't full understand, or you might have your own opion at times. Its a book your reading s...
