Esmeralda vs. Lucie Manette
Have you ever felt bad for a person that is made fun of just for being different? Esmeralda felt bad for Quasimodo in Hunch Back Of Notre Dame. Quasimodo was the same as everyone else, but people treated him like he was dirt just because he looked different and didn’t look like how the world expects us too. People thought Quasimodo had an ugly face and a hump on his back. They crowned him “king of fools”.

Then, one morning guards came to their house and took Charles away to prison. Charles was sentenced to execution. Mr. Carton and Charles’ father made a plan to get Charles out before his execution. They went to the prison and Sydney talked to Charles without telling him his plan. He snuck up and put Charles to sleep by pouring a sleeping medicine in his mouth. The guards thought he was dead and then they took Charles’ “dead” body out. Sydney swapped places with Charles. Sydney is now in prison to get executed. When they got Lucie’s husband into the carriage she didn’t know it was going to be her husband. When she saw it was him she started to cry. They took him to France without telling anyone, to get him out of there. Lucie thought back to when Sydney told her that “he would do anything for her and her family” and she knew he was the one that got her husband out of prison from getting
