The Life of Cael Dickens

Life is a very precious thing, it’s delicate, and there’s no way of knowing where it’s going to take you. Even though i’m not around anymore you have to keep living life to its fullest. Don’t think of my passing like hitting your head against a hard wall, called reality, over and over, think of it as a cocoon bringing you into a more fulfilling life. Although though you have to say goodbye to a very dear friend that all of you hold close to your heart's, me, remember to keep doing the things you love, like feeling that surge of adrenaline pulse through your veins as you score a goal in soccer or being calmed by the sweet, sweet noise of the upright bass. Don’t close yourself off from the world

    “It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of light, it was the season of darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair.” (Dickens 2). This notable quote started off the novel, with lots of meaning behind it. It compares the two major cities in the novel, London, and Paris. One of the major themes throughout the book was the rise of the revolution.…

    Transforming The American Prison System Charles Dickens’ American Notes chronicles his visit to the United States in the mid 1840s. Dickens spends the majority of this nonfiction work exploring the young institutions of the United States of America. During this time period, two separate major prison systems began development. The two prison system plans, named after the cities where they were located— the "Philadelphia" plan in Pennsylvania and the "Auburn" plan in New York, both share a common thread, solitary confinement. Solitary confinement— the isolation of a prisoner in a separate cell as a punishment— is a uniquely American invention based on the Quaker theology.…

    I miss you and the others at home awfully, but the tedious past two years of battle have been in our favor, so at least my absence has been of some aid to the Confederacy. Life back at the plantation seems like a dream when you live as a soldier. Working on the vile-smelling fields with our slaves for hours upon hours will always appeal more to me than the copious hours of marching and drilling the generals put us through; the aching of my feet after every practice burns more than my throbbing fingers ever did. All of the pain endured because of my service cannot compare to the agony of being away from home so long. Calling what I feel “homesickness” would be a complete understatement.…

    In this passage I predict that we will find out that Ricards “uncle” is on the run and hiding from the law, and later in the book he will get caught by the authorities and arrested. Which will have some kind of a big impact on Richard and his family. Some of these impacts I predict that could happen are, the authorities will arrest Richards mother and his aunt due to the fact that they were letting this man into their house and hiding him from the police. If this predicted situation happened to Richard and his family, it would leave Richard and his little brother without parents forcing them to live in an orphan home again. Going back to the orphan home would most likely make Richard furious and sad, considering the fact that the first time he was at the orphan home he hated it with a…

    In the classic novel, A Tale of Two Cities, author, Charles Dickens, takes readers back to London and Paris during the time of the French Revolution and utilizes metaphorical comparison to comment on events of his current state in the 1850’s. As the story develops, it becomes evident that the motif of resurrection is highly prevalent and essential to the plotline, predominantly through the narratives of Sydney Carton’s life. However, it is not only the characters that undergo examples of this motif, but also society and the cities of Paris and London. Although this theme is more potent in specific areas of the book, such as the death of Carton, it is undeniable that the suggestions of Dickens’ belief in resurrection was intentional and with much complex fortitude.…

    He was a "tight-fisted" man who held money as close to his heart as Scrooge does. When Marley appears to Scrooge, Dickens describes the chain which Marley has "clasped around his middle". It is a chain made of "cash-boxes, keys, padlocks, ledgers, deeds and heavy purses wrought in steel". These symbolise Marley's selfish, covetous and obsessive personality. It is a representation of a message that Scrooge will only receive through the things he values most; money and wealth.…

    When discussing his popular work the Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens explains the main theme that “Death may beget life, but oppression can beget nothing other than itself” (Dickens). Death and oppression often go together, with oppression resulting in death or death resulting in oppression. However, they differ in that death can result in something positive, such as the life of another person being saved while oppression only results in more oppression. Specifically, in The Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, the character Madame Defarge evinces this point because her childhood trauma affects her decisions as an adult. Like Madame Defarge, Queen Mary I of England, the mistreated and unwanted child of King Henry VIII, also emphasizes…
