Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they challenge the specific arguments presented in the reading passage.

Both lecture and the reading are discussing

Chevalier

's life. The former is of the opinion that

Chevalier

is wealthy. While the reading provides three points to support his belief about

Chevalier

is not rich.

To begin

with, the

first

issue we encounter is associated with the lone for a merchant. The speaker highlights that

this

theory is not convincing due to the fact that

this

does not mean

Chevalier

was poor.

Moreover

, he demonstrates his point by saying that

Chevalier

has huge

money

and gambling which means he was wealthy.

Furthermore

, he says that

Chevalier

needs to sell the property to get

money

in a few days. So he ran out of

money

and need to borrow from the bank.

This

does not mean he is poor.

On the other hand

, the text posits that the evidence showed that he borrowed

money

from a Swiss merchant. If he had had

money

, he would not have borrowed from the merchant.

Moreover

, another topic of the debate revolves around a conversation with Voltaire. Once again, the professor points out that

Chevalier

wrote down everything he remembered.

Besides

, he illustrates his point by mentioning that a witness who lived with him confirmed that

Chevalier

consult the note in the journal before established.

However

, the article confirms that it is impossible to remember exact phrases from conversations. To wrap things up, the final point in the discussion is connected to escaping from the prison in Venice. The instructor suggests that he has more powerful friends. What's more, he explains that liberty seems hardly in his case.

Additionally

, the instructor provides that after he escaped, the ceiling in his old room needed to repair.

Nevertheless

, the passage states that it is more likely that

Chevalier

's jailers were bribed to free him.
