Dialectical journals are graphic organizers that are used to assist a reader
throughout the reading process. You will use the dialectical journals to
complete the Les Miserables final project.

for Cosette Quote: “Cosette could not stir that she did not draw upon herself a
hailstorm of underserved and severe chastisements” (Hugo 42). Paraphrase: I
think the quote means that Cosette did not know why she is treated the way she
was at this point in the novel. She went from having a loving relationship with
her mom to being stuck with the Thenardiers. I think the hailstorm part means
that these emotions are all coming at once, making it hard for her to
understand. Analysis: This quote gives me a feeling of sadness for Cosette. I
know I would be upset if my parents gave me to these horrible people. If I was
old enough I would try to run away. I would never want this to happen to my
children. This quote adds to the feeling of misery in this novel. It seems like
the book will never have a turn for the better.
ATTENTION: Dezja Ellis I agree with your analysis because you said that
The Thenardiers only wanted Cosette for the money that they aquired from
Fantine and the work that she did for free. They are basically getting paid to
make Cosette work nonstop.
