The Tale of the two cities is not an easy read. When I was reading it, I almost gave up multiple times and when I finally reached the end I couldn't figure out what really happened in the book.

The same thing happened in your check point three message

[Samanta]

Hello, Chris! You forgot to put the link to the author's profile after the cover photo. It should look like this:

Yes and maybe you should get one of those study guides to accompany your reading so you don't miss things as you go along.

Sydney Carton is a true story of redemption and resurrection - he becomes one of literatures first selfless martyr enabling the happiness of his own beloved and in a way he will always live on in her heart and the heart of others. I think he placed little value on his own existence -

Famous quote - Sydney Carton's last thoughts before his life is sacrificed to save Charles Darnay:

"It is a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done; it is a far, far better rest that I go to than I have ever known."
