<p>Need a clever title for an essay on the mob mentality in “A Tale of Two Cities”. Anyone??</p>
<p>Romance, Revenge and the Bastille - a study in rebellion.</p>
<p>Heck, I may post a new thread with this title.</p>
<p>Thanks p2n. My s asked me this q., and I came up empty, so I am trying to sound clever. I gave him your title (of course, claiming it to be my own… :D) He responded-- “No-- it has to be more about the mob mentality”. Can ya tweak it a bit??</p>
<p>You forgot the second part…</p>
<p>"Romance, Revenge and the Bastille - a study in rebellion</p>
<p>and other things that can happen if you don’t consume pizza regularly" :D</p>
<p>gee thanks, berurah. Not sure how I can 'splain that to the young’un.</p>
<p>Oops!! Forgot the audience! :o</p>
<p>Come on guys— you are always a master of the double entendres… Some little clever witticism…</p>
<p>The romantic version is actually false. There were only 7 prisoners. In reality it was a lot less dramatic. </p>
<p>How about: </p>
<p>Perception and the Mob - The Truth about the Storming of the Bastille</p>
<p>See: <a href=“http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille[/url]”>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bastille</a></p>
<p>thanks, p2n. I’ll run it by him. But I just got the “never mind, I’ll handle it” mantra from him… I guess our work here is done :(</p>
<p>Madame deFarge: Needling the Aristocracy</p>
<p>or *Madame DeFarge and the Storming of the Bastille : Knit one, Hurl Two. *</p>
<p>Cur:</p>
<p>This is terrific!</p>
<p>What about: “The Bastille: Too Close to the Madding Crowd?”</p>
<p>curm:</p>
<p>Too funny!!!</p>
<p>How about: The Utter Predictability of the Mob Mentaliy in “A Tale of Two Cities,” or When Have the French Ever Stood in Line for Anything?</p>
<p>Good one, curm. :)</p>
<p>Even this: </p>
<p>Charge the Bastille! (or when America for once didn’t have to fight for the French)</p>
<p>darn-- Saw all these great ideas after he left for school with the paper! </p>
<p>Curm-- I especially liked yours!! Very punny!</p>

<p>You mean, like, the American Revolution?</p>
<p>How about:</p>
<p>Manning the Barricades: A Tale of Two Mentalities.</p>
<p>Manning the Barricades? That would leave out Mme deFarge, wouldn’t it? Who would be there to needle De Launay and free Sade?</p>
