Though written in post-revolutionary Britain, this is a story which remains so relevant today. Pertinent not just for England, but for every country and every leader of the world.
Despite the threat of climate disaster, the rich continue to spend excessively while the poor starve, suffer, and--eventually--die an avoidable death.

Homonyms with Harmony, Part 2
As promised in Part 1 (see embedded link below), I’d like to share with you some common differences between US and UK spellings as well as word usage. Orignially, this was posted on Admin Professional’s Day, and what better time than to make sure we write it right?!

Preschoolers
What is a preschooler? Preschool is somewhat like day care except there is more academic subjects like reading, manuscript writing, math skills along with more experiments in science and social studies with learning safety and even staying healthy by teaching preschoolers' nutrition and other skills with a little more detail than day care. Preschoolers also still do art, music and movement activities related to the academic areas.

Spectating
I can't imagine dying like this, in a place like this; on a cold, dirty pavement with rush hour traffic screaming by and a crowd looking on while paramedics struggle to find space to move. Who could? Deep down we all think there should be a reason, a moment of clarity... or a family presence, at least. For this man, this boy, the rail thin woman lighting a cigarette in a faux fur jacket will have to do - she's been here since the start, her eyes tracking the movement of my shoulders as we fight to keep him on the right side of the line.

writing skills are truly impressive
Um... WOW! SO poignant! So accurate! So well done!!
I'd never thought of the context of this as post revolutionary Britain.
Oh yes, the rich get richer and the poor get poorer. The inevitable sad truth. Loved your review!
I read this book every December and love it to absolute pieces. Nicely done!
👏😊 I actually only read this last Christmas and it was my first Dickens. ☺️
Bravo, my favourite Dickens novel. This is perfect, Harmony!
His best book. You nailed this critique! 👏🏼
