Discussion #3 Notes

Leader: Ben
Note Taker: Tommy

1)Connections between other books we have read this year
-Max and liesel from Book Thief - Jean and Cosette
-Max and Jean both show liesel and cosette the real world
-Jean might have to leave cosette like max had to leave liesel
-Javert chasing Jean like Nazis chasing Max
-Okonkwo obsessed with wealth and not willing to give up but Jean willing to give everything to save cosette

2)Is the convent changing Jean and cosette's relationship
-making it stronger, better because cosette can have friends and a semi-normal life
-will help cosette learn

3)explore a significant relationship's conflict or growth
- Jean and the gardner
    -interesting that they met back up
    -going back to father madeline and his old life because the gardner probably didn't hear the truth
    -believe he might learn the truth and report Jean to the police

4)favorite quote
    -pg 146 -> the gardner devoting himself to father madeline
    -pg 76 -> "do what he might, he always fell back upon this sharp dilemma which was at the bottom of his thought to remain in paradise and there become a demon! to enter into hell and the become an angel!
    -pg 148 -> "cosette very naturally thought herself Jean Valjean's daughter"
