I have to do an essay exam on a Tale of Two Cities and I really do not understand it well. I have to find a maximum of 12 quotes that show Personal Fulfilment (from page 363 to the end of the last chapeter) and use literary devices to develope momentum in the novel. I do have a few quotes but I need more so could any one please help me please do and if you think that this is going to be doing my exam for me, its not because I will have to be the one writing about the quotes.
So if anyone could help me it would be much appreciated.

Ugh, I hate the book SOOO much, I just finished it.
A few quotes weve looked at:
"Far and wide lay a ruined country...... beautifying features of the Monseigneur" (Book 2, Ch. 23)
"He made shoes, he made shoes, he made shoes" (Book 3, Ch. 1)
"Except to overwhelm me with embraces, or carry me in triumph" (Book 3, Ch. 2)
"Plots. Though the just Heaven knows I am innocent of any." (Book 3, ch. 13)
"Don't fear me. I will be true to the death" (Book 3, ch. 13)
"...the appeal of an innocent prisoner, in danger of death, to his justice, honour and good name." (Book 2, ch. 24)
"You leave your good father, my dear, in hands as earnest and as loving as your own." (Book 2, ch. 18)
"Oh dear yes! Yes. Oh yes, you're eligible." (Book 2, ch. 12)
My book is almost definetely a different version than yours so I'm not sure which pages that you need the quotes from, so I put book # and chapter #, hope this helps you. If you need anything else paticular I just finished the book so let me know.

Probably my favorite book. But I'm not sure I can be much help: Personal Fulfillment?? huh?
As for building momentum. The wine spilled in the streets, foreshadowing the blood that would be spilled later. The carts rolling through the city. The trial, getting acquitted, then brought back and tried again. Storming of the Bastille. Don't know about literary devices, but it is a very complicated story with all the characters and subplots, but all the loose ends start to come together at the end, to a big climax.
Some of it's a bit cheesy, but I think it's a masterpiece, amazing book.

An example of Personal Fulfilment would be when Sydney Carton who has had no purpose for the whole book goes and takes Charles Darnays place to be executed and then has a purpose.
A literary device would be irony or metaphors
And thanks for those quotes Ref, I will look into them
