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".
