One thing I personally like about LES MIS is how the author has little by little revealed the Bishop's character. Three techniques Victor Hugo used to create the effects in the story are indirect characterization, foreshadowing, and figurative language. We see Hugo use indirect characterization to slowly reveal more about the Bishop character. When we started reading we really did not know anything about the Bishop but as we kept reading we kept picking up on his character through the authors indirect characterization, such things as him putting others before him and his kindness. The author also used some foreshadowing multiple times to give us an idea of what is going to happen next, and it's things like this that keep a reader hooked. For example we see the silver utensils and candlesticks brought up as well as him leaving his house unlocked although we do not know if someone if for sure going to rob them, we can infer and assume that this is a big possibility of happenin...
No I am not entitled to my own opinion because when someone is entitled to their opinion its does not allow the other person to express themselves resulting in the conversation getting cut short. It is a form of ignorance as you are not willingly saying you are not open for a discussion that searches for the truth.
Hii!! Today I was able to quickly glance and read over an excerpt by Jamie Whyte titled The Right to Your Opinion. What I was able to understand from this excerpt was that the idea of having your own opinion is false. It says this because our opinions most of the time are incorrect so that being said it would add nothing to a discussion and end up wasting more time, and when questioned if were actually in the wrong we take offense to someone questioning of our opinion. We don't take the time to actually question ourselves and immediately go into offense mode because "I have the right to my opinion". At the end of the day an opinion is another form of entitlement that has been engraved into our mind for many many years. What I was also able to understand was that we don't need to listen to everyone's opinion and if someone starts playing the "I am entitled to my opinion" card, we should just expect someone who is going to be close-minded aka a Karen.😀
