Blog 11

Today is not a very creative day for me, I haven't thought about anything real great to blog about so I am going to talk about my favourite book/play/musical/ ever! Les Miserables. I fell in love with the musical Les Miserables when I was very young. In my life; going to the London broadcast of Les Mis. was probably the greatest thing that I have ever witnessed! (The Shamu show in Seaworld was pretty amazing though). I was probably only 10 or 11 when I went and saw it but I remember it so clearly. I went with my sister, mom and dad. Seeing the talent that these actors had was absolutely amazing. I had chills the entire performance! It is crazy that another person can do that to you by just hearing there voice and the story that they are singing. What it feels like for them I can only imagine. 
Les Miserables was originally a book by Victor Hugo. Hugo was apparently a miserable man who was not well liked by very many people. It is hard to believe that a man such as that could write such beautiful work such as he has. 
I love Les Miserables for many different reasons, but I love it because of what I took out of it;
Find something that you believe, then fight for it. No matter how much the odds are stacked against you. 
Victor Hugo does send a lot of political messages in this book as well, but at the age I fell in love with it, that message didn't really get to me. I understand it know; but when I was younger what I took out of the musical was a lot simpler.
