I was pretty sure I posted this Friday afternoon but I didn’t see it on the wewbsite tonight so I’m going to repost it. Sorry Mr. Shank if there’s two of these on here, its the same thing so you wouldnt have to read both.

        In the first chapter of Tale of Two Cities it is explaining how complex life in England and France is at the time in 1775. The  book refers to this time period as being the best and worst of times meaning that while there are upper class citizens living a life of luxury there are also less fortunate people who are struggling financially. Even though people are resorting to criminal acts of violence in the country the upper class rulers are not letting the disturbances to effect them. They continue to live their lives while the citizens of England have to deal with the fear of the city turning haywire.

            In the second chapter all the characters are uneasy due to the fact that highway robberies are common. Mr. Lorry seems to be a little mysterious since he does business in both England and France. I think that later in the novel he will be the center of controversy.
