Blog for Class, Tale of Two Cities

This reading was during class. And here, you can learn some more truths about the
setting of the time period; the French Revolution. Here, in the book, it says that men in 'those times' that men drank a lot and very frequently. I would say it was due to the hardships of life and that they would have liked to avoid them. So, they thought the only way out would be to drink plentiful. Now back to the book! Now there are two new characters that are introduced, the Jackal and the Lion. Although I didn't really see an importance from the revealance of the two characters, I do believe they will appear once more in the book. Later in chapter 6, Mr. Lorry, Miss Mannete and more new characters named Miss Pross and Dr. Mannete appeared; Miss Mannete being the 'wild red woman' who appeared in the very first scene where Miss Mannete fainted and Dr. Mannete, I believe, has a daughter, although she has not been revealed yet. Now it shows where Mr. Lorry acquaints Miss Pross and discuss about his 'Ladybird'. And after this scene, I must read more to find out about the storyline in general. Up until now though, I'm thinking that this book is kind of boring up till this point, but I hope it will change as I advance more into the book "The Tale of Two Cities".

A Small Sidetrack...

Today, I forgot to bring my book, "A Tale of Two Cities" from home today...
So, I have gotten the Inkblotz' first edition and read it instead. Here, the writers of Inkblotz
wrote about the sins, such as pride, temptation, etc. I could see that they could connect
the themes with the stories that they have written by themsleves. I liked the way they wrote
the short stories in a amusing kind of way so it wasn't boring like some of these literature
magazines are, or the poems which actually did make you feel somewhat connected to you
by using the story-line of those which some of us may have encountered once in your life before.
Overall, I liked the Inkblotz first edition and look forward to the second one...

First Post of 2008

This is my first post for my AR book #1, "A Tale of Two Cities."
At first, this book may seem as if it gives a pointless narative at the beginning
of the book, but as i read more and more, it acutally gave a haunting
image of a certain country that turned out to be France, during the Frence Revolution.
It gave the image of a haunting country, where poverty was very eminent for all the
citizens. But, some people, the nobles, were living in comfort, unaware or ignoring the
harsh times the common citizens were in. But as the story goes on the story focuses
more on three characters; Monsieur Mannte, Mr. Lorry, and Miss Mannete. Although I haven'y gotten very far in the book, it seems that these characters are witnesses in a crime, but
the case seems to be between three men. And this is it for now, until I get farther into the book.
