A Tale Of Two Cities Quote Analysis

The way the world is surrounded by technology, not being able to understand technology is difficult but not “death in life”. Today, almost anything on paper is easily accessed on a laptop or smartphone. However, if you're technologically illiterate, you still have access to everything on paper, you just may have to look harder for it. In the text, Carole says “Now I can read, I can read books, anything. I can write. In English and French.” When I read that quote, I think of Carole's troubles when learning to read on paper, now she has to learn all over again on a laptop. Personally, I find it very hard to read off of a smartboard or laptop and I can only think of the struggles coming Carole's way in the 21st century. Some challenges could be,

Ponder this thought…. A world where jobs are assigned to people, there are no colors, there is no weather, and rules after rules after rules. It would be impossible to live in a place like this. I would not want to live in the society from The Giver. The Giver society is a tough place to live, therefore I would not want to. In this society, people don’t have the freedom of choice, they don’t have normal, everyday objects, and there is extremely strict rules. Overall, this society is not the place for me.

One must admit that at some point in their lives they have asked a question already knowing the answer. Likewise, in the passage labeled, “In The Attic,” readers will notice that Marie experiences this same situation, also known as the literary term, hypophora. (Doerr 376-78) Which is when a character immediately answers his or her question themselves. At this time, Marie is trapped in her attic, alone, and not knowing what to do when she says, “ ‘Who knows what he seeks? You know what he seeks. I am so hungry Papa. Try to think about something else. Roaring falls of clear, cool water. You will survive, ma cherie. How can you know? Because of the diamond in your coat pocket. Because I left it here to protect you” (Doerr 376). This passage not

Through the novel “The Count of Monte Cristo” the lives of innocent victims were lost , and in doing so the Count’s ends do not justify his means. The reason the count got revenge was so he could “right wrongs”. In this novel by Alexander Dumas you have Edmond Dantés an intelligent, honest, and loving man who turns bitter and vengeful after he is framed for a crime he does not commit. The Count seeks revenge on Ferdinand, Caderousse, Villefort, and Danglars the only ones to die are Caderousse and Ferdinand. However six people died throughout the novel and even though the count did not physically the blood is on his hands.

First of all, in order to understand the quote, we must look at what happen before the quote, in the quote and after the quote. Before the quote where Henry stated, “I sat down on the chair in front of the table . . . . I think the cup of water on the burning log only steamed the ants”, Henry and Catherine move to Switzerland to prevent Henry from being arrested or kill. After escaping to Switzerland, they brought a house in the mountain and Catherine were admitted to the hospital. At the hospital Catherine is in a lot of pain and the doctor ask Henry to exit from the delivery room. Henry wait in the hall and the doctor walk up to him holding something in his hand. The doctor then told that the baby is alive and “He magnificent. He’ll weigh five kilos” (325).

A Tale of Two Cities truly was “...the best of times,” and “...the worst of times,...” (Dickens 7). The worst of times was especially portrayed through the mobs in France. In A Tale of Two Cities, Dickens writes about mobs and how the peasants and even the aristocrats act while in a mob. The motif of mobs reveals the theme of how easily people are influenced by others around them such as Roger Cly’s ‘funeral’, the storming of the Bastille, and when the peasants were trying to find Old Foulon.

In the book The Giver by Lois Lowry, the community really has no idea what the outside word is like. The community thinks that it is perfect, because there is no sadness, pain, or conflicts with anyone. That is why the giver is a utopia. On page 2 they where saying that everyone was very obedient to the person who was speaking though the speaker. Especially this one time, when Jonas was riding his bike

First off, Charles Dickens’ very first paragraph says, “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way-in short, the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only…(Dickens 5)”. This is how he introduces duality in the book. I think that it is important that Charles Dickens used duality because he did not only want us to know that he used it but also explained the dualities throughout the story. The two cities London, England and Paris, France are complete

The passage, “Carton’s depression”, takes place at the end of Book Two Chapter 5 in the book A Tale of Two Cities, by Charles Dickens. While they were talking about their day, Stryver mentions in front of Carton how he is up one minute and down the other minute showing how he has very easy mood changes. This is taking place 5 years after Darnay was on his trial. He was saved by Sydney Carton. This passage literally explains Carton’s feelings after the trial. Carton is basically contemplating his life. The main function of the passage is to enhance the depth of Cartons character as well as how he relates to Darnay. This basically explains his mindset. Although carton looked like he was enjoying his time when he was drinking with his friends, he felt depressed after which is shown through literary techniques and figurative language including allusions.

In the syntax itself, there is the occasional rhyming couplet in this passage, like in the lines ending in "feet" and "Street" or the repetition of “many” (63- 64, 65- 66). These sudden appearances of classic form remind us of the general sense of cultural fragmentation that Eliot is conveying in this passage. In other words, we still have reminders of the structured world that once existed in Europe, but these are nothing more than reminders, as they've crumbled into the “waste land” of modern life. This passage ends with the phrase: “You hypocrite lecteur!—mon semblable—mon frère!" These final words are again from Baudelaire’s Fleurs du Mal. The phrase shows that, while the

In the book, Great Expectations, by Charles Dickens, a boy named Pip makes his rise and fall through society as he wastes away with what he was given. He experiences these things because he was uneducated about the risks and struggles he might endure. A symbol on my cake is poverty and its represented by a plain white lower tier. When he had nothing, he could only make do with what he had as a poor child. Having no decor on the lower tier of the cake shows that there wasn’t much that he could put on if he tried. “I took the opportunity of being alone in the courtyard to look at my coarse hands and my common boots. My opinion of those accessories was not favorable…I determined to ask Joe why he had ever taught me to call those picture cards

It is no secret that everyone in life experiences suffering, however according to Wuthering Heights, it is up to you to decide how to deal with it. An impactful example of this shows the difference between letting your past control you and moving on in saying, “Linton, on the contrary, displayed the true courage of a loyal and faithful soul: he trusted God; and God comforted him. One hoped, and the other despaired: they chose their own lots, and were righteously doomed to endure them” (Bronte 185). With this quote, human nature is shown, you can either wallow in pity and destroy everything around you after a bad past, or move on and become a better person, but no matter what you choose you have to deal with the consequences of choosing the path

In chapter 27, Edgar’s health continues to deteriorate and he lay on his deathbed leading Cathy and Mrs. Dean to pay a visit to Linton at Wuthering Heights. This quote is said in response to Cathy, who fights with Heathcliff after she realizes that he has the imprisoned her and Nelly both inside his home, with a plan to not release her until after she and Linton are married. After Cathy is locked inside, Linton reveals to her Heathcliff's plans, and the readers feel a sense of inescapable doom start to exist. This quote is emblematic to the action within this novel because it reveals Heathcliff’s master plan to the readers: to marry off Linton and Cathy so that he may lay claim to Thrushcross Grange. The kidnapping of Cathy and Mrs. Dean is

Baba chased after redemption but failed because he could not own up to his actions. When his decisions of the past were unheard of to all ears besides his own Baba was known as a noble and dependable man. No one in the city of Kabul thought anything less than greatness and admiration from him. “But no one ever doubted the veracity of any story about Baba. And if they did, well, Baba did have those three parallel scars coursing a jagged path down his back.”( ) This quote helps prove that Baba was considered an honorable man that was loved by many and trusted by all. Every person that knew of Baba knew of what he has done to bring comfort to his city. Two examples of this was when he had built an orphanage to insure safety for unlucky children
