I'm in love with Sydney Carton

Wow Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens is a good book. I've always liked dickens, and his character portraits, but this books was definately a favorite. Granted it was hard to get into at first, all classics are. Everytime i pick up a classic, i think, "why oh why, do i like these novels" but by the end im in love all over again. Nothing worthwhile isnt without some extra hard work to achieve it!

So anyway my favorite character is definately Syndey Carton! Granted his character wasnt particulary the best all the time but in the end he did what counted the most. Juniors or other underclassmen, plug your ears (or cover your eyes), but he gave his life for the husband of the woman he loved. Now how hard is that. It's one thing to die for someone you love but when someone you love loves someone else instead of you, oh man. I mean would i risk my life for someone i didnt really care about, ok was jealous of? hmmmmm, someone i didnt really know very well, except that they got the position i wanted? oh boy. Wow, and yet Jesus died for so many people who hated him and still hate him. Wow, am i humbled. God give me the courage, if ever in that situation to make the right choice!!
