A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens
Hi, my name is Judah and I am I 14 year old boy who likes to play soccer, ski and play tennis.
The Tale of Two Cities is a historical fiction book written by Charels Dickens. This book is written to show to contrast between the French and the English during the time of the French Revolution.
The main characters of this book are Charles Darnay, an aristocrat that traveled from France to England. Dr. Manette, an old man who makes shoes, Madame Defarge, a brutal leader of the peasants during the French Revolution, and Sydney Carton, a lawyer.
The book begins when Darnay is falsely accused of treason and is about to be sentenced to death when a man shows up with an almost an exact similarity in looks with Darnay. While this is happening in London, Madame Defarge is knitting a registry of who she intends to kill during the French Revolution. She is a character who never says much but is always plotting and scheming, waiting for the right opportunity to strike out upon the aristocrats.
This book is full of excitement and is a page turner for those who read. I recommend this book for middle school through high school for readers who are interested in the French Revolution.
