The poverty in this book made me appreciate what I have and allows me to realize I need to take better advantage of my privileges. It allowed me to step back and look in the suffering people’s point of view. This novel made me feel more aware of the suffering and anarchy that went one during the French Revolution. It even made me realize more about what Father Chaminade witnessed and went through. That is the knowledge I appreciated most from this novel. Tale of Two Cities was on the college boards list of books because Charles Dickinson was a renowned author who is very talented at writing and making a story come to life.
