About The Les Miserables

I spent several days finally finished reading this novel- Les Miserables , one of the most famous novels in the French literature as well as a representative work of Victor Hugo. This novel describe a story: a young man named Jean Valjeanoriginally wasa poor family background

worker,because had not get enough money that one time stole a bread just for his hungry young niece,then he was arrested and put in prison, suffering the dark 19 years in the prison. After getting out prison, he receives people's discrimination, nobody answered him. At last, he was in desperate. However, the wonder appears, one

kind-hearted bishop changed valjean life by his mercy and kindness.

I have something to say after finishing reading this book, following are my point of view.I believe that human nature can be changed, when I first contact with this book I feel sympathy tovaljean. With his closing for 19 years, inhis forties he was released, it not only let my heart sank, seems unlikely in the surface. When he was released

from the prison, people only have discrimination to him. In the end, only the kind bishop regarded him as normal people. Environmental change the nature of man, during prison time he had formed manybad habit. At the beginning, he was not changed under the influences of the kind bishop ,but instead he had stolen the bishop's silver. To our surprise, the bishop forgave valjean, and send the silver he had stolen as a gift to the valjean. Finally valjean came to thought, he changed his name and decided to become a good person with the warmth and light given by the bishop, and settled in France north. He lived in the city with all his heart, people were moved at what he had done, hebecame the city's minister.Destiny always torments people. Valjeandid not end his lifewith this kind of ending. His fate torment him so much that he escape on the way again.

Valjean although later do his best to help others, want to do more good things to atone for his SINS committed before, when people know that he was a labor before, still not to accept his offer, in people's eyes it is still a unpardonable bad people. But valjean doesn't mind, still with that kind of heart to help others. He ultimately

deadsadly, this fully reflect the society at that time how unfair, isn't the one makes a mistake, never changed? Valjean’s life makes people think deeply, a man go bad completely from a piece of bread, then change into a thoroughly good man- a mayor. This is what a shock change! His body shows up two kind of human nature. The poor social will produce two kinds of people: the first is the lowly. Their ugly, selfish and greedy nature can no longer be hidden. As the Gardner in the book, in order to own the money at all for fraud, claims to be an actor for a while, then becomes a painter a short while,but he can not hide his ugly nature finally. In fact in today's society there are some people who will stop at nothing to immediate interests of dirty dogs. As some of the functions and powers effort by corruption; In important competition to get good grades and the doping; And small to cheat in the exam ...... Any deliberately disguise will be found, false may not permanent.The other is in no matter what

circumstance can keep the light, good, tolerant noble people. Changed valjean become more larger, kind and influence the one who callous, stubborn, had blindly

pursuing him - changshawei. Iagain shock by the tremendous power of human nature repercussions.

I wish our side will appearmore good people who like the angel of light bishop, more people can join to the team whose task is to help people warmly. The social needs men, the world needs they too, only in this way can we create our life and create a kind, harmony, light world!

We should keep a sincere heart to treat all people, to believe in other people, so you can get the confidence of others. If you has evil intentions, that you will never get any the confidence of others, only by suspicion, left out in the cold. To devotion, to help people with fun, be enthusiastic treats people, so that you will be welcome.

The Britain professor Smith had ever said: "Good books are one of the most valuable wealth of life," we should treat reading as an essential part in our life.
