The Tale of Two Cities (Reflection)

     The Tale of Two Cities made me understand many things. Such for example, the book told and taught me that life isn't really fair and it won't really go the way you want to go. Like what had happen in to Dr. Manette, who was sent to jail without any particular reason at first. Next I learned that even though there maybe no hope to suceed an obstacle, you have to try with all your might. Like if you try, the results may change in an vary. Like what the fate had happen to Lucie. The book had also taught me to control some of the emotions that will burst since life isn't fair. The book taught me when life gives you lemon, make lemonade out of it, not just feel bad about it.
I’ve always loved reading Dickens and I finally took the time to read through a tale of two cities. While it has a much different flavor than some of his other work, it is no less vibrant or moving. If you’re not familiar with the book, it’s opening lines are probably something you are aware of: “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.” So begins a brutally honest look at the French revolution and both sides of fallen humanity that made it happen. Dickens does a fair job at showing the neglect of the rich for others and the blood lust of the poor for revenge.
Believed to be Anglican, Dickens has a way of helping me to feel one of the values that Jesus taught in an incredible way. Many of his novels cause the reader to feel a concern for the poor and neglected. I’m sad to admit that this doesn’t happen naturally for me. Whenever I read the words of Jesus I realize that my heart needs to be changed. Dickens helps me to adopt the attitude that I know God desires from me.
