Tis a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done...Marg I just finished A Tale of Two Cities. It was weird, because right near the end, before it really starts getting interesting, I suddenly remembered having heard the ending, or seen it before (perhaps an old TV show called Wishbone that I used to watch when I was little - did anyone else ever watch that?) and it was just weird that it all pieced together before I even ended the book. Like all of a sudden the quote: "Tis a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done." came to my mind and I realized what was about to happen. But I won't spoil it for those who haven't read it. It really is a great book. I never used to really like classic books, but all of a sudden I have a love for authors such as Jane Austen and Charles Dickens. I think what I like so much about Dickens is that he starts out with so many characters and manages to tie them into the plot so well. I really don't mind the long sentences that many of the people in my class complain about ( one sentence took up about a whole paragraph). It's just like a big puzzle, and the more you read the more it starts to make sense. Ah well. On a less dorkier note, I'm going to Cincinnatti tomorrow with Justin, Dan, John, and lots of other people from my school for a basketball game. I hope it will be fun. And they don't make us stay and watch the game the whole time. I hate basketball. Wouldn't it be fun to just leave and walk around Cincinnatti? John says I would like it. Of course, they most likely wouldn't let us do that, in fear that we would get raped, shot, kidnapped, etc. but one can only hope. I really wish I could. Just walk around the city. On my own. I love feeling independant, as does any teenager I'm sure, but I just love the feeling. I love being home alone and doing things when I want to do them. I wish to go to places when I want to go to them and eat dinner when I want to eat dinner. I wish I could just hop in my car and drive around when I am feeling sad or save up money and just take a plane to somewhere. Wherever. Just not here. I wish to leave for awhile and not tell anyone where I am going. I wish to go out at night and get a slurpee at the 7-11 (which, by the way, they don't have here). Ah well, in three years I will be about to graduate and ready to go to college. So many things could happen from now until then. I'm trying to think of a good way to end this, but I can't. I'm still thinking of Charles Darney and Sydney Carton. 'Tis a far, far better thing that I do, than I have ever done." |
