Answer 1

This question is about "A tale of two cities" by Chales Dickens

Answer:

The author uses many adjectives to describe the moments of brutality and terror during the French revolution. This creates the dark and sinister tone suggestive of death.

Explanation:

As you did not mention a specific part of the story, we can say that the book "A tale of two cities" promotes a dark and sinister tone due to the use of negative adjectives during the narration.

Dickens is highly praised for his ability to create mental images in his narratives. These mental images are perceived through the efficient use of adjectives. In "a tale of two cities," Dickens uses these adjectives to promote the dark and sinister tone of history, by creating mental images that intensify the perception of brutality, violence and terror that happened during the Russian revolution.
