Olivia and Shell-sea :) __Plot:__

Jean Valjean spent 19 years in a French prison for stealing a loaf of bread. When he was released, no one would take care of him because of the crimes that he committed, so he went to a Bishop. Valjean stole the bishop's silverware and ran away. The bishop covered for Valjean when the police arrested him. Valjean then changed his identity and moved to a town called //Montreuil-sur-mer// where he eventually became mayor. Fantine, mother of Cosette, lost her job when someone discovered that she had a child. She became a prostitute, sold her hair and her teeth just so that she could provide for Cosette. Fantine became very sick and Jean Valjean went to see her when he was arrested by Javert. Jean later escaped from prison and saved Cosette from the selfish adults who she had been living with. Cosette grew up having Jean Valjean as her 'father.' They had to flee from Javert numerous times throughout the story. Marius Pontmercy lived with his grandfather and he happened to fall in love with Cosette. Marius needed his best friend, Eponine Thénardier (daughter of the people who Cosette used to live with), to find Cosette's whereabouts. Little did Marius know that Eponine was actually in love with him. The citizens of France became caught up in a battle to fight for freedom and democracy. Valjean saved Marius so that he could be with Cosette. Cosette and Marius get married but Marius forbids Cosette from seeing Valjean. Eventually, Marius is told that Valjean saved his life and he rushed Cosette to see Valjean. Jean Valjean then died in peace.
