Seek the composition materials about some qualities of Rousseau and Voltaire in high school textbooks.

(1) Voltaire's words can be written as tolerance and a sense of justice.

The material is the Jean-Caras incident (about the condemnation and criticism of religious intolerance).

Brief introduction of Jean-Callas event: (from Douban reading)

176 1 year, there was a famous businessman named jean callas in languedoc. He is a devout Protestant, and his son Anthony once believed in Protestantism, but later he planned to convert to Catholicism in order to study law at the university. 17611kloc-0/3 in the evening, a guest came to callas' house. During the dinner, he excused himself. Callas' other son took him out with a lantern, only to find Anthony hanging from the door frame. With his screams, the whole family and neighbors came to Anthony's body. Some Catholics immediately threatened that Callas and his wife tried to stop him.

As a result, Callas' family, including guests, went to prison. Callas was severely punished, but he didn't give in and plead guilty. Although the court failed to produce evidence to prove that they killed Anthony, Callas was finally tortured by sewing and tied to the stake and burned to death.

This tragedy caused Voltaire's extreme shock. Voltaire immediately set out to rehabilitate Callas after learning the truth. It took him four years to mobilize friends around him, aristocrats in French upper class, and even used Friedrich II of Prussia and Catherine II of newly acceded to the throne of Russia to appeal against the case of Karas, making the case a sensation throughout Europe. Voltaire's appeal finally succeeded. 1766, that is, four years after Callas was tortured to death, the final trial result of the Paris court was to revoke the original judgment, French king.

(2) Rousseau's words can be described as his sincerity and frankness-the material is that he admitted a series of bad habits such as stealing in Confessions.

You can also write that he is not afraid of power and has his own judgment-the material is his opera "Village Diviner", which received rave reviews after it was released, and even the music played at the wedding of Louis XV and his queen was in this opera. The king offered him an annuity as a reward, but Rousseau, who was powerful, flatly refused. Many people say he is stupid, but he never regrets it.
