blog post in response to chapter four of les mis

As we read Chapter 4 of Les Mis, we see that the author has a strong tone when it comes to the death penalty.

M. Myriel (the Bishop of Digne) has an intense reaction to a man's execution. How does he feel about it? How does the Bishop's reaction show the author's attitude toward the subject? 

How do you feel about the subject? What is your opinion on the death penalty? Do you agree with the Bishop?


SAMPLE POST:

LES MIS CH 4
In Chapter 4 of Les Mis, the Bishop is shown to be humble and willing to help everyone. He even rides around on a donkey and begs for money the poor. One day, when no one else wants the job, the Bishop sits and prays with a condemned man just before the execution.  Watching the execution makes the Bishop reconsider what right people have to take the life of another person, even if that person is convicted of a crime. It makes you think that the author doesn't agree with the death penalty - the Bishop even says that death should only be the business of God.
