Javert
|
- A police inspector who strictly believes in law and order and will stop at nothing to enforce France’s harsh penal codes. Javert is incapable of compassion or pity, and performs his work with such passion that he takes on a nearly animal quality when he is on the chase. He nurses an especially strong desire to recapture Valjean, whose escapes and prosperity he sees as an affront to justice. Ultimately, Javert is unable to say with certainty that Valjean deserves to be punished. This ambiguity undermines the system of belief on which Javert bases his life and forces him to choose between hypocrisy and honor.

How streams work:
When water hits the surface it either infiltrates (gets sucked up) or run off (travel). Many factors determine how much runoff will occur. |
Some examples are
a.The type of materials the water is interacting with b.How much water was sucked up c.The steepness of the slope d.How much water will be evaporated e.Types and amounts of vegetation |
|
|
In the first stage of runoff the water travels in sheets. If the sheet flows over a barren area the runoff can cause sheet erosion. Then the water collects together and continues to enlarge its channel. These various channels of water finally run downstream.
