Why do you think fantine uses the statement it is not cowardliness and gluttony that have made me what I am in her appeal to javert

The fact Fantine uses the statement it is not cowardliness and gluttony that has made me what I am in her appeal to Javert is because she was to justify her actions as a desperate act to escape from reality and how it hurt her.

Explanation:

First of all, She is doing that to obtain pity from him. Because she begs him that her reasons have been justified. Also, that she has proofs to back she has not been a bad woman and that even when she watches her clothing she can remember how her clothes always were fit for women of morality. Nevertheless, she used brandy as a scape of reality and that it was necessary to keep living.

idk but i did find this

explanation:

in the story of the cowardly lion and the hungry tiger, we first see the two characters inside the empty throne room of ozma, bored and sadly very much aware of their uselessness as guardians. they talked about the good old days when they used to be feared. they proceeded to make up stories of how fearsome they were. the cowardly lion professed that he can tear men/women into pieces, while the hungry tiger said he would eat fat babies. but when they proceeded to act upon their words they were forced to realize that they were indeed harmless and good animals who would rather be called cowardly and hungry than harm a woman or eat a child.

expository writing is one of the most common types of writing.
