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.

Emmanuel's Response

When on a zoo trip with my family, I remember seeing some kids playing video games. This upset me since they were in such a wonderful place of learning and were not aware of anything. This engrosses to play video games remind me of Dr. Manett wasting his time away making shoes for imaginary people. I bet that if A Tale of Two Cities was in the present, maybe Mr. Manett would be texting or playing on his Gameboy in his small attic room. Video games are great, but you should not play them all the time, or you will miss many things. Manett could have left or planned an escape instead of just sitting on a bench wasting his life away.
