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.

Madame Defarge and I

             I see myself as someone like Madame Defarge, because she is able to see through anything stopping her from achieving her goal. Madame Defarge also goes on until she is unable to win, such as when she walked miles for Lucie and fought Miss Pross for her, which was like how I pushed against team Inpyo and team Emmanuel in the election for student government until the last straw. Also, we both sometimes get stuck on a goal and do not know when to stop, and this killed Madame Defarge and got me into trouble when I tried to defend a friend from insults once and went too far. We are both cunning and stubborn, and the only difference is that I am not malicious.
