n orphaned baby named Quasimodo, which means "half-formed," is found by Frollo, who hides him in the bell tower of Notre Dame, the highest point in all of Paris. There Quasimodo grows into a young man, whose job is to ring the cathedral's giant bells. He has never seen the world, and the world has never seen him.

Quasimodo's only friends are the stone gargoyles and the birds who live with him in the tower. One day, he takes a baby bird in his strong hands. "Will today be the day?" he asks the bird hopefully. "Are you ready to fly?" The bird flies! Quasimodo waves goodbye with an ache in his heart. He wants to be free like the bird ...

Quasi is a bit like a child who just wants to go to the party but is having a real problem with his parents. Clearly, he's someone who's had a very limited experience of life. And even though he's had to deal with lots of abuse, he has an indomitable spirit and refuses to be put down.
