- 5th Period
-
When two absolute opposites are placed side by side, the contrast between them becomes even more apparent. If a person were to walk from a completely dark room into the full sunlight, the sun would make the room seem darker, and the room would make the sun seem brighter. Irony is often used in the same way, to highlight someone’s disdain or contempt, as a person says one thing while meaning the complete opposite. In chapters 12 and 13 of A Tale of Two Cites, Charles Dickens uses juxtaposition, or placing the two opposite characters Sydney Carton and Mr. Stryver in parallel chapters, and irony to convey his contempt for Mr. Stryver and his sympathy for Sydney Carton.
6th Period:
-
Appearances define people in society; however, true character is often suppressed and hidden by these same appearances. This is evident not only in modern literature and fiction, but also in works from the 1700s and beyond. Charles Dickens illustrates the cliché “appearances can be deceiving” in A Tale of Two Cities with two contrasting characters, Mr. Stryver and Sydney Carton. Dickens emphasizes his scorn and pity towards Stryver and Carton, respectively, by using juxtaposition to compare Carton’s moment of softness against Stryver’s pompous thoughts toward marriage.
4. Assign character body paragraph: Each student is assigned either Stryver or Carton--write one body paragraph to follow the intro--the body paragraph should analyze the stated tone for the character--due tomorrow
5. Go over MC Questions--passage 4 & 5
