Lets start off with the reading schedule.
Around 60 pages a day for 6 days. During the week this will probably be less but what ever I miss during the week (shouldn't be a lot or I'm off scheduled) i will make up on the weekend.

AP Questions
- Dickens seems to have great sympathy for the poor, the sick and the powerless, but not all such characters are portrayed sympathetically. What does that say about his sympathies? Where does he intend our sympathies as readers to lie?
- What is Defarge's motive in betraying Doctor Manette, endangering his daughter and grandchild and framing Darnay? How might the relationship between Madame and Monsieur be described?
- Carton has clearly misused his youthful promise and believes himself to be unredeemable. Does this view of himself change? If so, how? Is Carton a man of faith? Does he become one?
- Why was Charles Darnay able to see the unfairness of the class structure that benefited him and then able to extricate himself from it? Are there other characters as capable of seeing beyond their own circumstances?
- The French Revolution was of great interest to Americans in the early days of their own republic. Given today's polarities of extreme wealth and poverty and strongly expressed patriotism, as well as the interest in early America, what parallels might we draw between our own time and what happens in A Tale of Two Cities? What lessons?
I think these could be potential essay questions or a free response of just one paragraph.
After some AP practice my essays should be at a significantly higher level of writing and I should develop my opinions faster and express them with clarity.
