Dicken's comments on the age of writing * He said that "it was the best of times, it was the worst of times..." This shows that there are two different places coexisting, where some are having and living a good life, while others were enduring hardships and pain. *"It was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness..." He is once again stating that this there are two places in which some people are intelligent and know and understand what is going on around them, and then there were some that are totally ignorant to everything that happened.     Dickens goes on and on like that, comparing and stating facts about opposites and how they coexisted in these two places, so similar yet so different. He is just saying that there was so much going on and so much happiness and growth and yet there was so much pain and suffering that was brought on by that growth. This is what he thinks about his age of writing.
