A Letter From Bernadette

Admirable Additions to the Character Development Department . . .
Bernadette Isabelle Duplesis (AKA Cindy Nelson) and Javert (AKA Dennis Murray) have turned in amazing pieces of work I wish to share.

Bernadette (in addition to her character sketch) has written five letters, in character, and delivered them to me in a wax-sealed envelope on parchment paper.  Details therein explain her need to leave her family and work in a factory.  She also lays out her friendship with two  French friends, one of whom dies in a recent uprising.  Through her letters reflecting numerous historical details we see glimpses of a strong "woman's rights activist" present in, none other than,  1829 who is determined "to fight to the death for what is right." 
POWERFUL, UNIQUE and AWESOME exposition of character and dramaturgy. 
 Bravo, Bernadette!!!

Javert has written and turned in a terse, elocutionary letter (forced only by the minister of Justice to reveal his background) detailing his birth to a Gypsy mother in the Bastille through his sentencing to jail for thievery and numerous other incidents.   He reveals who and what has shaped his code of ethics and personality.  He reveals, in his articulate missile,  how he has steadily climbed in self respect and rank, through hard-earned promotions, to the rank of Chief Inspector.   He further explains his top priority as that of being able complete the cat and mouse game with the fugitive named Jean Valjean with his final arrest and resulting punishment.
I APPLAUD Javert's ability to reveal his character, his background, his motivation, his objectives, his education and THOUGHTFUL REFLECTIONS in the form of a WELL-WRITTEN powerful letter presented in his unique voice. A creative exposition of ideas!!

I could go on bragging about the 19 others who have turned in thoughtful details, but I won't belabor the point.  I look forward to other writings soon . . . .
