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.
Chapter 10, First Impression
I liked this chapter because even though it was long, it gave a lot of details. I really find it fascinating how the Bishop is able to get certain senses, and hep people who are sick. For example the dying man. The way that he was introduced and all the details that were included towards the end, it made me feel sad for him. Like if I was living in the book. Like why would everyone hate him, what good did it bring to anyone? But good thing that the Bishop was able to tell the the old man wasn't a bad person.
