Just wanted to let you know that I was not able to get free copies of Les Mis like I hoped on Friday. I'll keep my eyes open, but I recommend you getting your own so that we're all on the same page!

Literature: homework due 11/7
Girlies,
I missed you girls SO, SO, SOOOO much yesterday!!! I missed the treats and the Venn diagrams and the laughing and the movie and just can't wait to be with you all again on Friday!
BUT in the meantime there is homework to be done! :) Guess what!? We're starting Les Miserables this week!!! (Pronounced "lay miz-er-ahb".) Please do the following for class on Friday:
1. Read the first section in Les Mis, entitled "Fantine". This is seven chapters, my pages 1 - 134.
This is A LOT. I wouldn't wait -- get going on it as soon as you can!
2. Please answer the following questions, to discuss in class. (The answers do not need to be typed.)
Whenever we want to understand an author’s attitude towards the gospel, we have to find out at least three things: what he believes about God’s holiness and righteous wrath, what he believes about man’s sin, and what he believes about Christ’s role in salvation. How do you think Hugo would answer each of these questions?
- How are people’s souls saved in Les Miserables? Is Christ the Savior? Who declares them righteous?
- How well do these beliefs about God, man, and Christ match the testimony of Scripture?
- Do you think that Valjean has experienced salvation in the biblical sense of the word?
Love you all so much! Let me know if you have any questions!
