Detecting the sentiment of Tale of Two Cities

In the video we saw that one type of algorithms for detecting the sentiment are based on a lexicon of predefined words and their corresponding polarity score. Your task in this exercise is to detect the sentiment, including polarity and subjectivity of a given string using such a rule-based approach and the textblob library in Python.

You will work with the two_cities string. It contains the first sentence of Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities novel. Feel free to explore it in the Shell.
