Dear Beth, here is my homework, (P.S sorry I couldn’t make the lesson)
Hugo describes the French justice system as unfair and corrupt, holding no truth and lying to the citizens. For example, Esmeralda and Quasimodo, are imprisoned for crimes they did not commit. It is a life of Terror, and secrecy, not knowing if you’re going to die the next day. On the other hand, the real criminals are not imprisoned, for example, Claude Frollo who stabbed and killed Phoebus.
Also, torture and terror play a huge role in the book, emphasising the threat and the power of the supposed ‘government’ of the country. Many are oppressed and executed for things that they did not do. Hugo depicts the torture as a method for many to fall in line, which emphasises just how far they go to make the peasants their slaves.

Hello Beth, thank you for the lesson on this book and I really enjoy them. My homework is attached below.
Climate change is an endless subject talked about in all media, with many conversations, conspiracies and doubts. There are meetings every year to discuss this dire situation and this subject is brought up endlessly in parliament. So what is this problem and how do we solve it.
Climate change first started majorly during the industrial revolution when the use of coal and pollution was heavy throughout the world. This caused carbon dioxide levels to skyrocket, leading to pollution. The main factors of climate change are that greenhouse gasses trap heat and sunlight providing the world to warm up and cause damage and destruction. This provides floods, irregular weather patterns, droughts, wildfires and many plants and animals going extinct.
The ‘United Nations Climate Change Conference’, also known as COP, is an event where several world leaders meet to discuss how climate change should be subdued and stopped. The next COP meeting will take place in Egypt, in November 2022. During COP26, several protests will be held, demanding more action be taken at the conference. as well as having much information.
Many solutions have already been provided, such as using more solar panels, working on nuclear fusion and for the time being, using nuclear reactors (not that I am not providing electric cars as a reason as they require lithium and cobalt which have large impacts on the environment.
In conclusion, climate change is something inevitable, we can not stop it, but we can slow it. In my opinion, we need more of an impact, something which will motivate more people to help in this war for the survival of this earth.

Dear Beth,
I would think that the most interesting character in ‘uncle tom’s cabin’ is Uncle Tom as he is such a devout Christian, believing it so deeply even against the harsh and brutal treatment against Legree. Additionally, his spirit. and determination is unrivalled in the book, wanting and trying so hard that his death was one of the most impactful deaths in the book, impacting everyone yet at the cost of such an evil Slave owner.
