Students:
So why was Monsiuer Manette inprisoned for 18 years? Does anyone have any theories?
I have my top ten possible reasons:
10. He committed a murder.
9. He took steroids and then tried to play professional baseball for the Paris Cubs.
8. He stole something from the King of France.
7. He said something bad about Governor Palin's daughter.
6. He stole something from the King of England.
5. He drove a mule while under the influence of red wine.
4. He operated a gulloitine while texting on the phone.
3. He didn't do his required reading over the summer months.
2. He climbed the Eiffel Tower Spiderman-style without an official permit.
1. He stole Maria Antoinette's cake, and ate it too.
How about you students? Any theories?

ReplyDeleteWell I think that maybe Manette, Lorry and Defarge were all in cahoots in the past and secretly working against the French crown, but then of course only Manette was found out. Yet I wonder how he got released from prison after all that time, especially if it was for treason. Because after reading about Darnay's case, they definately wouldn't let someone get off that easily.
ReplyDelete"Quartering?" Really glad they don't do THAT anymore.
i think the number 9,5,4,and 1 are the best choices ;D
ReplyDeletei think maybe he was caught recieving a secret message, and maybe they thought was treason?
but wouldnt that be a sentence of death?
