One of my favorite topics is about the relationship between Dr.Manette and Lucie. When I read about how Lucie brought her father back to life, I was shocked because she never saw him but right at that moment when they saw each other, she already loved him and was ready to care about him. This is unbelievable! For example, even if I knew that I'm going to meet my father, I wouldn't be able to love him like Lucie did. Lucie was a strong young woman that loved her father, and couldn't leave him.
As I continued reading the second book, I imagined myself being Lucie for a moment. This situation that happened with her and her father made me feel sad. Lucie is getting married to Darnay which is a good thing for her because she can has a family, kids, and a new lifestyle. But in the other way she leaves her father, and it makes everything bad. When I read about the last night before Lucie was getting married, I got very emotional because I saw how Lucie tried really hard to not make her father sad, and she wanted to spend time with him every minute. She understood that everything is going to change the next day, and that she's not going be able to be with him all the time. Dr.Manette didn't want her to let go but he was a smart man who understood that she needs a good life, and she needs to enjoy her life.
The next day Lucie and Darnay got married, and went for a honeymoon. At that moment, Dr.Manette changed completely! Carton said that he's going to the Bank for two hours, and asked Miss Pross to watch Dr.Manette because he didn't feel very good. After Carton came back, him and Miss Pross heard Dr.Manette knocking. They went upstairs and saw him making shoes. He was making shoes for nine days, and the tenth day he stopped, and forgot about that. These nine days were like a block for him. He didn't remember what happened in those nine days, and for him, Lucie's wedding was like yesterday. It was so sad to read it because Lucie left, and for him it was like time in prison, bad memories.
This situation reminds me of God saying that we should love everyone, even our enemies! Lucie loved him even when she didn't know him, and this is a great example how we should love people that we don't know and our relatives.
Wow, I love seeing your point of view on whats happening in this situation! I love how you describe such a love, many people think love is just this fuzzy feeling between a girl and a guy, but you show and describe this innocent, sweet love between a daughter and her father who she had to leave to be with her husband. In the Bible it says the a women will leave her father and mother and become one with her husband. What you have written is a perfect example of that! I also very much enjoy how you play on the reader's emotion. You want them to be happy for the daughter because she is getting married and will have kids in the future and ect, but you also what us you feel sympathy for the father and also a little bit for the daughter. What do you think would have happened if she didn't get married? Is it best that she did get married? I have a confused feeling about this essay, i don't know exactly what to feel...
ReplyDeleteGreat essay ;)
Thank you so much for your comment, i really enjoyed reading your essay because I needed to see what people think about it, what are their thoughts, ideas, and correct it. For me, it was the most favorite topic from the book "A Tale Of Two Cities"! when i read about the relationships between Dr.Manette and his daughter Lucie, i was so touched because i also have a father, and this situation made me think a lot about the relationships with my father, and at some point it changed me a little bit. Oh, i am really glad that i got reader's attention! Thank you for that! This is a really good question, and it mademe think. Well, i think it is good that she got married because otherwise if she didn't get married she would be stuck there with her father, and she would just be at home, and she would not have the chance to move, change her life, live differently. But it is also sad that she left her father because she didn't spend enough time with him. I think yes, it is best that she got married. It wasa lesson for both of them how to let someone go if you really love him. I have that confusing feeling too, because they had such an amazing relationships, and then she left him.
