Topic for Week of March 26, 2012

We have occasionally talked this year about the theme of "connections". Write a few sentences about personal connections you see between yourself and "A Tale of Two Cities". Do you see a connection between you and one of the characters? or between you and something that happened in the novel? Let us know your personal thoughts on this question.

Do you ever feel as though a wave of sleepiness has ever washed over you. Or if you are doing an activity or sport where your muscles are all worn out and you feel as though you can't go on. I sometimes feel like this when I am skiing in a race. People do not know this, but ski racing can be a tiring sport. You are being forced into turns that are not your own. You have to go around every gate and you are making more turns than you would on your own terms. As you go down you have to flex forward with all your weight and strength so your skis can bite into the hard ice. Put all these factors together you can be just plain worn out not wanting to move another muscle.
