Question

Excerpt from Les Miserables

Answer 1

28.The correct answer for the first question is A.The use of figurative language signifies the shift in the author's tone in reference to Valjean's character. Throughout the novel Hugo does this, he blends the narrator voice with those of the characters that the narrator is describing making us see the thought processes in the characters minds.
29. The correct answer is B. By using the third person narration we have an omniscient narrator which knows everything about the characters and he can show us the bigger pictures. If this was a first person narration we wouldn't know be able to know all of his motivations for the deed or what events brought him to this state.
30.The correct answer is D. We see that Valjean sow that he could be more and that he came face to face with what he had done and how he lived before the incident with the Bishop Myriel. But when he steals from Gervais it was his habits his developed instinct that made him do it. So we see that even at the beginning of a change old habits truly die hard.
