It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the hockey game of wisdom, it was the hockey game of foolishness. It was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness. It was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair. We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to Heaven, we were all going direct the other way.
Fun Fact: I used “A Tale of Two Cities” by Charles Dickens in almost every English essay in 11th and 12th grade, and it worked beautifully - because that book has everything.
