HT: Language

Interesting Voice:

“Dear reader! It rests with you and me, whether, in our two fields of action, similar things shall be or not. Let them be! We shall sit with lighter bosoms on the hearth, to see the ashes of our fires turn grey and cold,” (Dickens 288).

I believe that this quote is really awesome because the narrator ends the book by directly referring to the reader. It also kind of sums up the message of the whole book by comparing the light and fire to grey and cold. Everything in this last quote brings together a lot of the metaphors that have been consistently represented throughout the book, and I think that is really cool.
