Awake, Thinking, and not French

"I actually like questions like that"

I think that is me in the bed, now that I

think about it, and of course right there on

the bed is my good old dog Skipper.

Stendndhal wrote a novel called the

Red and Black. Interesting how the cast system in France is so clear cut and this novel uses the Catholic Church to show just that.

The story in the novel just tells you how stuck people are. It is a good novel to read before seeing

Les Miserables. Interesting to me the very words

The Red and the Black have a interesting place in both.

Freedom seems to come from France maybe more than from England. Interesting how much it took to free the French from the cast system.

Favorite songs from this play.

I dreamed a dream, One more day, Do you hear the people sing, Red and Black

I grew up accross the street from a Catholic school and church. I found it interesting and have made a practice over the years to look into a lot of Catholic Churches around the world. I have been in the Vatican, and then Catholic churches in Mexico, Korea, Japan, London, Paris, as welll as many in the US. I am note sure why except that have found them interesting.

Stendhal is a author I have enjoyed. He seems to like to write about love. The book Red and Black is a novel that very much so deals with love. His main character has used his church to get gain and it is a good insight into a world that the Catholic church has had a huge impact on. This character has a real desire for personal greatness. He also seems to have a big impact on women. The story line shows in a day to day life sort of way ideas and thought evolved in France.

It many ways it shows that people really did suffer because the

really started to think deeper.
