Les Miserables by Victor Hugo (Seoin who panicked because her previous title was not formal)

{There is a normal blog underneath, the one informal}

{P.S. Great thanks to Anna who gave me this idea}

Now, most of you know of Les Miserables. It may be presented to you as, "Jean Valjean", who is the main character. But the real title is, "Les Miserables", and when it came to South Korea, it came as Jean Valjean.

Les Miserables is a total of five books, but many of you would have read it as one book. That is a big problem with kids' books: just because kids are kids, they erase the important parts of the original book. When I read Jean Valjean the Korean Book, the scene changed in the middle of the book and I had no idea what was going on. That made me read the real book, a total of 5 books.

Reading the original Les Miserables is not an easy choice to make, you should really think about it. I will show you how a book from the 5 books looks like:

Now, if you really like books, you should most definitely read them. The book is fascinating. But well- there are some parts where the author says suddenly,

(ex) "So long as there shall exist, by reason of law and custom, a social condemnation, which, in the face of civilization, artificially creates hells on earth, and complicates a destiny that is divine with human fatality; so long as the three problems of the age—the degradation of man by poverty, the ruin of women by starvation, and the dwarfing of childhood by physical and spiritual night—are not solved; so long as, in certain regions, social asphyxia shall be possible; in other words, and from a yet more extended point of view, so long as ignorance and misery remain on earth, books like this cannot be useless."

I do understand a part of this passage, but clearly, not totally.

I had skipped these kinds of parts, though I do hope that it still makes my brain think better. I really want to recommend this book- it is, to be explained in one word, fascinating.

Hi!!!!!!!

I just realized that Grammarly is a genius. It's because it asked me, "is this formal writing?", before I wrote this. I think it will probably disappear when I write this 'informal' blog. I actually don't have much things to say though. It's 1:38 and I'm eating sse-oo-kkang, which is delicious. I have to go to Peai soon, so I'm preparing stuff. Everyone, wait for our FIFI presentation!!(Decontam Invention thing) I'm so happy that there is no vocab test today. Cinder quiz isn't very hard, so YAYYYYY! I met Eugene when I went to school today, in the cafeteria. She'll probably eat really slow. She eats until 2:20 so when she comes home, it's like 2:30. That's why I'm always so late to Peai when I come with Eugene. But, well, it's better being late than not chatting with Eugene in her mom's car which is Tesla. Last time, her mom did the auto-driving thing and it was cool!

Sincerely,

Seoin
