I think they there should not be a death penalty because I don’t think it’s logical that we sentence people to death just because they killed someone. It also doesn’t connect with what I believe.

At the beginning of the book, Victor Hugo wrote  a preface and this is my translation. As along as we live in a society where there is poverty, starvation, and many more economic problems there is no heaven on earth. So as long as we have problems with humanity, we need this book’s existence to remain.

  Before I’ve seen books that are as thick as this one or even thicker and I’ve never wanted to read them because it’s too much and maybe I wouldn’t understand the story. I’m not afraid that it’s a thick book, I’m just worried that I won’t understand the events occurring in this story.

The French Revolution was a time when the people decided to stand up for themselves and go against the King. But why is it that it took them some time before finally revolting against him? What caused them to finally go against him? First of all taxes was raised since the King would spend a lot of money and that lead them to corruption. The King also didn't know how to run his country. Every time he would try to do something good for his country, he would fail. The people were suffering from many things. Some would starve, some would not grow fully, and some would become more poor.
