A Tale of Two Cities - Entry 2

     The story takes place in the late 1750s. There is a conflict between the two cities London and France. It involves emotional drama I have noticed throughout the book. I talks about orphans and adoption. Later on in the story, things start to turn mysterious. Since the story takes place in the late 1750s, the American Revolution plays a role in the story. The character Charles Darny is taken to court because he has been blamed for giving the French British secrets during the outbreak of the revolution.
    
      I like the way Charles Dickens writes. He comes up with brilliant idea. Charles Dickens can take history and throw in a plot with some characters and make it work. The way he makes characters known by adding similes, metaphors, personification, etc just makes the character make an impression in your thoughts.
