WOD: ostentatious (adjective): characterized by or given to pretentious or conspicuous show in an attempt to impress others; intended to attract attention

EX: “‘Now, don’t let my announcement of the name make you uncomfortable, Sydney,’ said Mr. Stryver, preparing him with ostentatious friendliness for the disclosure he was about to make…” (Dickens 141). 

Student Learning Objective: To further explore the social injustices in France between the rich and the poor and to consider Dickens’ intentions for writing the novel in this way. (STANDARD RL.5)

4. II, 7: Why had Monseigneur taken his sister from a convent and married her off (below her social status) to a very rich Farmer-General?
