LES MIS #4

 In chapter 4 we see the Bishop get asked for help, as their is hundreds of people struggling. His solution was to educate the ignorant about the multiple structures of life, specifically the men and the people in power were the ones to blame. He later finds out about a man that was set to be executed because of counterfeit money. The Bishop spent all his time comforting this man until the day of execution, through out this time spent with him he was able to make this man feel uplifted. After the man died to the guillotine it completely shocked and disturbed the Bishop.
