The dream man and Dr.Manette are the same in many ways. First, is that they both are afraid to se their daughters. I think this is so because they hav basically abandoned their daughters. Therefor I think they are afraid to see their own daughters reaction to seeing them. Also I think they are the same, because they both were kind of like dead. The dream man was dead for 18 years, and the Dr.Manette has never been seen in forever. Also I think the 18 symbolizes something. I think that is how long the father has been missing. What is the age of the daughter, it could teel us more about the father, and the date/time. I now understand why they were talkin about the horror in the city, but I do not know much about the French Revolution. It seems to me that there are a bunch of gangs that are basically tearing the whole city apart. I get this because the mail people are very scared to walk around in the city. Also the mood, makes it seem that it is very nasty type of city. -Alex Berresford This book is hard but is starting to unfold with this dream. The dream man and Dr.Manette are the same in many ways.

One main example that neither of you seem to have caught was in chapter 5, when wine barrels fall and wine goes everywhere on the streets the peasants scoop it up out of the dirt with their hands and ring it through clothes. That is what I really wanted to get at with that last question; people were so desperate they would drink wine out of dirt. -Rebecca Krick Like you guys both were saying trust was issue at the time of the two revolutions.

But for your question, they are alike in many ways. One way is that they both are very afraid to see there daughter. ALso they both seemed to come alive again. What i mean is that the dream guy woke up from being buried for 18years, and is alive. Mr.Manette is in a way dead because no one has seen him, but then he comes alive and they find him. Where he has now seen his daughter and has broken down to cry. Also they are the same because it seems to me that they have both abandoned their daughter. Also what pops into my mind is that they are afraid to see their daughters, because they don't know what her reaction will be. What do you guys think of that idea? Alright it does make sence that it is taking place during the French Revolution. I don't really know that much about it but I kinda get the idea of gangs in this story. They are all afraid of being killed, and or being robbed. This book did get more clearer as the dream unfolded, and I wonder what will happen in book number two.

To answer your question, the man in Lorry's dream and Miss Manette's father are similar in multiple ways. Dr. Manette has been imprisoned for eighteen years in the Bastille. The man in Lorry's dream was also said to be buried for eighteen years. Also, like Julian said, the two most likely have the same relationships with their daughters. The two have not seen their daughters in a long time. The man in Lorry's dream had said that to see his daughter would kill him, but he wanted to see her anyway. Dr. Manette probably feels somewhat like this, because he hasn't seen his daughter in such a long time that he has probably grown distant with her. Lastly, the man in Lorry's dream said that he had "lost all hope of ever being dug out long ago." Dr. Manette could have also lost hope and given up. Like Rebecca had said, and how Julian had mensioned, the people of this day and age that the book takes place are very worried and catious. We are able to recognize this by the way they react in certain situations. When the three passengers on the mail coach confronted the messanger on horseback, they were terrified that the messanger was either a highwayman or a robber. At the time of the French Revolution, many different horrible acts were taking place, and all people were making themselves aware. -Leah Sevco Yes, Rebecca, I have found this book to be extremely difficult to understand.

The man in Lorry's dream and Miss Manette's are very similar in many different areas. For instance, both men are imprisioned in their own ways. The dream man is trapped in the dirt or grave. While Mr. Manette is inprisoned in an actuall prison. Both men also seem to be unsure of meeting their dauthers. The dream man tells Lorry at first that he wants to meet he, than he says he does not. I can imagian that Mr. Manette feels the same way because he has not seen his dauther for such a long time. I also know that both men have been imprisoned for a very long time. This brings me to another similarity about the men. Because of the time they have been locked up for they both have seem to have lost hope. The dream man says that he has lost hope long ago of being dug up and saved. Mr. Manette is said by Lorry to be only a ghost of himself. This must mean that he has given up on life. As a part of the second guestion that Rebecca has asked we must realize that the time is very important. There are a lot of events that happened terribly. Most citizens were scared for their lifes on a daily bases. This is shown in the first few pages of this book, when the men see the messanger. The three men with the mail are scared thinking this was a burgaler. This shows how teerible society was at this place during this time period. -Julian Garcia Your right Rebecca, this book is very hard to understand.
