FINAL REFLECTION FOR WORLD LITERATURE 2020-2021

 This semester was unlike any other because we had to learn and adjust in different ways. Our course was different from the beginning and I value everything I learned from it. We did a lot of work that was different from any other English class I've ever had. Something that made this course different than any other course was that it focused on what your thoughts and opinion were on certain stuff. For example, the journal entries, were something that was very new and different to me. No other class had us keep a journal and write our thoughts in it everyday.

This was meaningful because we get to have a space where we can write all of our thoughts and share them with our classmates.

HOW I READ

 The thing I like some about Les Mis is how the author describes the characters personality. The author does a good job on making it seem like you know the person he is talking about. I also like how the situations are described. They are described with so much detail so you can imagine it. One technique that Victor Hugo uses to create these affects is indirect characterization. This technique says a lot about a character without them having to say anything. Setting is another technique that Victor Hugo uses that makes reading this book even better. This makes it so you can image the setting in the book. The last technique is Allusion which gives us more of an understanding of the text.
