Les Miserables is a French historical fiction book authored by Victor Hugo. It is set in the early 1800s during a time of political and economic instability in France. The book has themes of loyalty‚ redemption‚ inner struggles‚ morality and love. The main character‚ Jean Valjean‚ a former convict imprisoned for stealing bread‚ is constantly being pursued by his prison guard‚ Javert. Valjean hides his identity while on parole‚ changing his name to Monsieur Madeleine and starts a successful business

“All are called to love. This is the vocation of every person.” In what way was this expressed/articulated or communicated in the film? Explore the depth of the message of the film. In what did the theme challenged you as a person? The film‚ Les Miserables‚ I have to say has a bitter-sweet ending. I would describe the film to be displaying dynamic message as the story did not revolve around one setting‚ place‚ or one character such Jean Valjean (Prisoner 24601)‚ Marius Pontmercy‚ or even Cosette

Yet after a few years of terrible triumph‚ they were defeated. Time and time again good has prevailed. It is never easy‚ and loss must always be suffered. Victor Hugo portrays the theme of overcoming evil and the victory of good in the book Les Miserables. Les Miserables illustrates that through loss and delirium‚ and even death‚ good can still succeed. Through the characters Jean Valjean‚ Fantine‚ and Enjolras‚ Victor Hugo depicts the battle of good and evil and the ultimate triumph of good. The

Abstract The photocatalytic degradation of phenol has been tested primarily with titanium dioxide (TiO2) either alone or in combination with other materials. In this work‚ Mg/Al hydrotalcites prepared by two methods using inorganic (HC) or organic (HS) chemical reagents‚ along with mixed oxides produced by calcination of these products (HCC and HSC) were mixed with titanium isopropoxide to obtain hydroxide-TiO2 compounds (HCC-TiO2 and HSC-TiO2) to test their photocatalytic activity compared with

America demonstrated its power to the Soviets and the world by the extraordinary triumph of the first moon landing in 1969. In order to fully appreciate the significance of the lunar landing of Apollo 11‚ one must review the history of the early U. S. space program‚ from its inception to the successful completion of the Apollo mission. The United States and the Soviets began their fierce competition after World War II‚ the Cold War era; not only was the arms race on the ground‚ but also race in

There were a color change and an odor change that was observed on Day 2 of the lab. On Day 1‚ the liquid was clear and the smell was very strong. On Day 2 of the lab‚ most of the liquid was gone but the color was a muddy color and the smell got milder‚ it wasn’t as strong as Day 1. Not only was there a color and odor

Purpose The purpose of this experiment is to determine the rate constants‚ k1‚ for the methyl acetate hydrolysis reaction at 25 °C and 35 °C‚ as well as the overall activation energy of the reaction. Methods Methyl acetate was placed in an HCl solution‚ in which it reacts with water to form acetic acid over time. At each time interval‚ an aliquot of the mixture was removed for titration against NaOH to determine the concentration of the acetic acid produced. From the amount of acetic acid produced

PUTTING IT TOGETHER: Classifying Chemical Reactions Purpose: To observe and differentiate between the four different types of chemical reactions. Variables: The independent variables are the sodium chloride‚ sodium carbonate‚ magnesium‚copper‚ copper (11) sulfate‚ silver nitrate‚ oxygen‚ lead(11) nitrate‚ sodium carbonate‚ copper (11) sulfate pentahydrate. The dependent variables are the chemical reactions that are being looked for. For example decomposition‚ synthesis‚ single displacement or double

Two-way reactions continue until equalibrium (the state at which there is balance between reactants and products) is reached. Discovering the equilibrium constant for a reaction is very helpful for understanding that reaction. Knowing the equilibrium constant of a reaction is important because it allows you to calculate how much product will ultimately be formed during a reaction. Moreover‚ it also tells you how a particular mixture of chemicals will react. This is because chemical reactions always

acts on a molecule called substrate and it also significantly speed up a chemical reaction by lowering the activation energy. In order to learn about the enzyme and its behaviour‚ this lab practical is conducted to examine the kinetic of the enzyme alkaline phosphatase. As illustration‚ when alkaline phosphatase is added to a substrate called p-Nitrophenyl phosphate (colourless in alkaline solution)‚ a series of reaction takes place and eventually releases a product called p-nitrophenol (yellow in alkaline
