A Tale of Two Cities

I have the honour to attend the course which about reading and writing. And I read the book named "a tale of two cities ". Because of my lack of words, many of the stories were not well understood. I also can't finish it since then. But this book gives me a special experience that I had never have ever before.

As we all know, "a tale of two cities " is one of Dickens' most important representative words. At the beginning of the reading, I was attracted by the literary talent of Dickens. "It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way--in short, the period was so. Far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of comparison only. " How wonderful and meaningful sentence. It reminds me to think of my life.

The background to the novels the revolution of France. At this times, so many people lived a miserable life. In the author's eyes, the life of people had not better after the great french revolution. So Dickens told us a simple truth which is the complex hatred is hard to solve and the cruel revenge has made more hatreds. But the love can solve every problem.

In this story, a touching thing may be the love between Sydeny Carton and the doctor's daughter. Sydeny Carton loves Lucie very much. He promised her to do everything for her and then sacrificed himself. It reminds us that no matter when there is true love existing. It also worth to be learnt by everybody today.

"A tale of two cities " is really a good novel. So I will read it again and again this summer.
