Still Knitting, Counting Dropping Heads
In the passage “Still Knitting” from A Tale Of Two Cities by Charles Dickens, resources of language express Dickens attitude and add suspense toward the coming revolution.
In addition the author expresses his attitude and heightens suspense by giving the town human like characteristics. For example personification reveals that in the evening the peasants are outside and feel implacable because they are not in their homes at rest. Dickens talks about how “in the evening at which season of all others, saint Antoine turned themselves out”
