He went ahead and "did exercises for other boys, and seldom did my own" (Dickens 77). He does everyone else's work but he chooses not to do his own.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524092 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524093 When Carton and Stryver were arguing about how Carton "knows better how to be agreeable" when it came to who is better with women (Dickens 139).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524093 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524095 Carton had met with Stryver later than he usually does. Carton couldn't care less about being late because he may "be a quarter of an hour later" than he usually meets with Stryver. This shows how Carton couldn't care any less about meeting him later than usual.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524095 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524096 In the book, Carton was described in the court, he seemed not to care to be there and "his untidy wig" was on his head like he couldn't care any less (Dickens 77).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524096 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524099 Sydney was mainly out of the picture during the court case. He was just looking up at the ceiling with nothing going through his head. When the court was happening, "nobody had made any acknowledgment of Mr. Carton’s part in the day’s proceedings; nobody had known of it. He was unrobed, and was none the better for it in appearance" (Dickens 84). After the case that dealt with Charles Darnay, he went to talk to Mr. Lorry, which showed that he preferred to go about his own business.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524099 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524101 The other characters in the book talk to Sydney like he isn't important. Stryver talks to Sydney by insulting him even though he works for Stryver. He insults him by saying he was like an "old seesaw" which meant that he was practically useless and un-cared for (Dickens 91). Stryver also says that "your way is, and always was, a lame way" which Stryver was insulting him (Dickens 78).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524101 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524103 The others, such as Styver, say that he is "no energy and purpose" but other's say that him and Charles Darnay look similar. They say that it was hard to see the differences because the "two were so alike" (Dickens 67).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524103 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524106 Sydney's strengths has no motivation to put in the effort to see himself succeed, he spends more of his time helping Stryver with his work. He helps others with their work but not his own. Sydney was more often than not caught "so deep in his task" that he was not aware of what was happening around him (Dickens 90).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524106 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524107 Stryver, who was known to have the most "unpromising of men" which resulted in them often drinking than working (Dickens 89). This was Carton, he drank a lot and was drunk more often than not.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524107 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524109 Sydney Carton's was in Stryver's shadow, he was the one doing the work and being helpful but he chose not to take all of the credit. When he was in school he "did exercises for other boys, and seldom did my own" (Dickens 91). He was helping other studnets with their work instead of his own which them impacted his life later. Now, he is basically giving Stryver the spot light. Sydney is a great worker but he didn't have the confidence and attitude Stryver had. ]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524109 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524112 Sydney's childhood predicted him to help others with their work instead of his own. When he was in school he helped others with their work but he never did his. In the situation he is in now he is helping Stryver become more successful, but he never looked to help himself become successful. When he was in his childhood he "did exercises for other boys" instead of doing his own (Dickens 91). This shows how his past childhood impacted and predicted how his future would be. ]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524112 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524113 Throughout the book we can see how Sydney sees his life as meaningless. He is never confident in himself and struggling with sadness and depression. When Stryver spoke to Sydney he would let him speak because he knew that even Stryver influencing "his own help and his own happiness" wouldn't make him think any different (Dickens 93). The thing that is holding him back is his mental state which is very weak. Not only this but he isn't confident or passionate in anything he does.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524113 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524115 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524115 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524117 Charles Darnay was introduced in the book during his court case. During this part of the book everyone gathered around Charles to get a good look at him. Once they caught a good glimpse, they saw that he was a young grown man with dark hair and "a sunburnt cheek and a dark eye" (Dickens 64).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524117 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524118 Charles accused his uncle of "giving a more suspicious appearance" to add to his suspicion that already overwhelmingly large (Dickens 122).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524118 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524120 When Charles was trying to persuade Dr. Manette to let him marry Lucie, he then asked for his forgiveness and to understand where he stands. He reminds him of his wife, which led to him asking him to "let Manette's old love speak for him" (Dickens 132). Charles Darnay loved Lucie and he wanted her fathers grace to marry her.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524120 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524121 When Charles was confessing his love for Lucie to her father, he said "there were love in the world" which shows that he loves her (Dickens 132).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524121 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524124 The other characters, such as Miss Manette, was called up as a witness to the stand during the court case. She didn't want to "bring harm to-day" towards Charles, which shows us that she thought Charles was a very nice person, and he didn't deserve any punishment (Dickens 73).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524124 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524127 When Charles had set off for Paris, the aristocrats were not being treated with respect, then they yelled at Charles that he was a "cursed aristocrats", Charles was very confused of what was happening and the situation France was in at the time (Dickens 247). If Charles knew and understood the situation France was in, he wouldn't have to deal with the aristocrats yelling and insulting him. ]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524127 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524129 Charles asked Dr. Manette to marry his daughter Lucie, he made sure that Dr. Manette knew what his intentions were for his daughter. He expressed himself to show that the relationship between her and her father was "so touching" which shows how Charles was being polite to manipulate her father into allowing him to marry his daughter (Dickens 116).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524129 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524130 They are similar because they both close friends with Lucie, and they both try to make a move to impress her. They each used a different way to impress her which makes them different. They are similar because they both have the same feelings for Lucie.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524130 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524131 The opposition side of the court were trying to prove that Charles Darnay was an innocent man of his falsely accused crimes. Sydney Carton was asked to stand by Charles to show the resemblance between them. The whole court house was surpirised that the two people "were sufficiently like each other" despite there different characteristics they both looked alike (Dickens 76). The witness who was falsely accusing Charles became shocked and frozen to find that he quite possibly be wrong.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524131 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524133 Despite the differences between the two, they are both good people and they both want to help others around them. An example of this is when Carton helps Stryver with his work to become successful. Charles is polite to Dr. Manette, this shows that they are both good people.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524133 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524135 When Sydney goes to confess his love to Lucie he does it differently compared to Charles. When he is confessing his love for her, he was taking pity and was honestly criticizing himself. He basically was trying to make Lucie feel bad for him.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524135 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524137 Sydney Carton is not confident in himself and has a low self-esteem. One night, after working and drinking, he visions him being a more powerful individual, but that vision quickly faded away. He heads home upset about the vision and he let his sadness "eat him away" (Dickens 93). ]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524137 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524138 Sydney is different to Charles because although he is a lawyer helping Stryver become successful, he doesn't make a lot of money. Carton is more on the lower class, he didn't grow up in a wealthy family like Charles so he had to work for everything.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524138 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524140 Instead of confessing his love in person to Lucie, Charles asked Dr. Manette for permission to marry his daughter. Charles is respectful to her father and he wants his permission to marry his daughter which shows how respectful and responsible he is towards Lucie and her father. Charles wanted to marry Lucie so he wanted to tell her father how much he loved her and "If ever there were love in the world, I love her" which shows that he shows a lot of respect and responsibility to ask Dr. Manette before Lucie (Dickens 116).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524140 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524142 Charles, during the court case, was very well put together and was a well dressed man. Unlike Carton he was well dressed and was wealthy in his childhood. This shows how Charles and Carton are different because Charles grew up with wealth unlike Carton.]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524142 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524144 Charles was unlike Sydney Carton, he strives to lower his position on the social and economic heredity. When Charles was talking to his uncle about his wealthy lifestyle, Charles says that he "would abandon it, and live otherwise and elsewhere" which shows that he wants to leave his form of lifestyle and bring himself down to a lower class (Dickens 125).]]> 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524144 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524147 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524147 huntersutton https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524148 2021-05-04 13:27:16 UTC https://padlet.com/huntersutton/l1wyxbij2ze0yc98/wish/1489524148
