Hello again!
So... for the past couple of weeks we have been reading A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens. I can't say I immediately fell in love with the book, and I wouldn't be telling the truth if I said I even like the book now that it's over. HOWEVER, I do think there are important themes that can be pulled out of the story and  I did enjoy Dickens' voice and tone throughout the story.
One part in particular that I liked was towards the end in the chapter titled Calm in Storm. Dickens is describing the "Le Guillotine" (a devise used to cut people's heads off)  and uses sarcasm to let the audience see how he feels about it, but also letting his readers know how the French viewed "Le Guillotine". He says things like, it cured headaches and gray hair and it gave the closet shave any razor could. When he is saying this, I sense his sarcasm and even disgust at the people who look at the Guillotine as a nonchalant way to kill people.  I can understand that he thinks it is barbaric that people would go watch others be beheaded and not flinch when the blood went flying.
