 This chapter talks about the senator who is a smart man who does what he sets out to do. When the Bishop and the senator, Count, are talking Count says that he is not enthusiastic over Jesus. He goes on a rant about his beliefs. He says that at the end of the day when we die we will just be dust collected in an organism. Then the Bishop applauds him for his thoughts.  

 I thought that this chapter was interesting because the bishop wanted to go on a trip alone without an escort. The mayor didn't want him to go alone because there could have been people that would rob him. The bishop ended up making it safely and spent his time teaching and preaching. When the bishop make is back everyone was staring at him in curiosity because they were surprised he made it back. 

Reading is supposed to be fun, but sometimes reading for school is a challenge. Here are four ways we can have more fun reading and do it better at the same time. The first thing we can do is read books we love. Everyone has different interests and things they like. So try finding books that catch your attention and that sound interesting to you. You will probably end up liking the book if it interests you. The second thing is understanding books you don't love. Sometimes you just need to give books a chance. You never know you might end up liking it. The third thing is reconsidering how you define the word read. You might have a certain definition for the word read but try thinking more about it. The fourth thing is stop looking for the answers. Sometimes you just have to stop thinking so much about the answers and let them come to you. 

 

In this chapter M. Myriel hears about an execution that's taking place. He sits and talks to the man before the execution. He has very strong feelings about the execution. He feels disgusted by it and feels horrible for the man. The Bishops reaction makes me think that the author doesn't agree with the subject either because of the way he describes it. I feel like the death penalty is wrong because no one should be punished with death and it doesn't matter what they did. Yes, I agree with the bishop because death should only be the business of God.

 Chapter 3 is about M. Myriel going on a journey and causing a lot of commotion because he decide to ride on a donkey. People were laughing and talking about him because of this. My first impression of chapter 3 is that M. Myriel doesn't care what people think about him. He doesn't care about what most people care about like material things.
