Les Miserables Notes


It is a musical movie
"Look down" is the slaves singing a song while they dock a ship by hand and the captain is watching
A 24601 man stole a loaf of bread and served 5 years and 19 years all together because he tried to run
Christian religion ties
The thief is released by Javert after serving 19 years
The thief after wandering is housed by a bishop but tries to steal silver from him at night. He is caught by guards and brought to the priest, the bishop lies to the guards and says he gave the theif permission to do so, and gives him more silver and lets him go
The thief  turns to Jesus, and escapes parole in order to start a new honest life
The priest touches the man and makes him a better man
The monastery he visits makes him a changed man
We learn the mans name is Jean Valjean
Javert swears he will find Jean Valijean

8 years later
Valijean owns a factory and has made a lot of money
Women are working in a factory making stuff
The Maynor comes in and breaks up a fight
God is a constant theme in the entire movie
The prositute tries to sell her ring fro 10 francs but the guy wants to only give her 5
They end up pulling out her tooth for 20
She needs to provide for her kids
The prositute and guy have sex in a coffin he gives her a single coin
After he leaves she is all sad
She says there was a time men were kind




Javert find him at the very end
But on the journey after chasing for all that time, he no longer wants to put him in prison
Javert dies by killing himself by jumping off a bridge.


this entire thing is very confusing

Footloose Review of Winter Musical

On Wednesday night February 27th, I decided to attend the Cheshire Academy varsity production of the musical "Footloose" in the black box theater. This was a dress rehearsal for the actual performance that took place on the first weekend of March. "Footloose" was written by Dean Pitchford, and Walter Bobbie in 1998. An interesting fact about "Footloose" is that the musical came out after the movie in 1984. Many times it is the movie that is made after the book or play. For the Cheshire Academy production, notable cast members included: Tony Wang, Olivia Williamson, Aaron Luo, along with 10 graduating seniors. "Footloose" is a musical play that many high school students can relate to. Ren McCormack is a teen from Chicago, who doesn't really fit in anywhere. Ren moves to a small town in the middle of nowhere. He loves to dance, but in this town dancing is illegal. This is because of Reverend Moore's son died in a drunk driving car crash ...

In class writing 5-7

Something that made each poetry recital unique is the performance and interpretations each actor had for their poems. Poetry is very adaptive and can be recited in many ways. For example, Leslie and Nan’s performances really stood out to me becuase they chose to sing verses of their poems. The music they chose had no relation to the original poem, but they made it flow as if the poem was perfect for the song. Their performances turned out great, and were by far my favorites of the class! Jack’s recital and performance I felt was kind of dry. He displayed very little movement on stage, and he was very hard to hear. Both of these things effective his overall performance negatively. On the bright side, I felt that Jack did a great job of picking his wardrobe, and was by far the most flashy dressed actor of the group.  When it comes to my performance I felt I could of been a little more engaging to the audience by adding music/sound since it seemed as if this was a constant strategy u...
