In lines 97-98 it says, "He went to the window and threw it wide open.  There was not one star in the sky. He went back and sat down by the table."  What was the author's purpose in pointing out that there weren't any stars?
the author's purpose of pointing out that there were not any stars in the sky was because the stars not being there resembled how he was hiding his true identity from Javert

I think that the reason he blew the candle out is every time he looked at the flame it reminded him of the bishop& how he was suppose to change his ways . He felt guilty for not saying anything about the truth, that he was Jean ValJean. It went against his religion for not being honest to the guard and not coming out and telling the truth .
i think he did it to hide

I think he blew out the candle beause it reminded him of the Bishop's and his conversation. Valjean didn't want the candle to bring up his conscience and lean towards a decision for him. The candle made him think of his commitment towards God and doing the right thing.

In line 72 it says, "A momment later he blew out his candle.  It bothered him."  No one knew his real identity.  He was in his apartment, which wouldn't be strange to anyone out that late.  So why did he blow the candle out?  Give it some thought and develop some insight into what he was going through.
I think that Jean Valjean blew out the candle because noone knew his true identity so he blew out the candle so noone would ever find out

i think he blew the candle out because the candle resembled his identity and when he blew it out that was him saying if i just keep quiet i wont go to jail.

The author is saying that he hasn`t done one good thing but may have done some nice but not good.

i think that he was trying to hide from the world because he is not going to do the right thing.
