In The Gods are Thirsty, Lee is trying to show that the world is not a perfect place. Although people in England believed the story of the French Revolution, they thought it was too horrible and not Lees usual style. Lee held off on the book for a while but knew that deep down she wanted people to know the sad truth of what really happened. Although her writing style was rather difficult, after about page thirty people would not want to put the book down. She made Camille Desmoulins very easy to relate to and so real to the narrator that readers would not want to put the book down. Lee chose Camille, since he was the bridge in between Danton and Robespierre. Camille wasn’t very famous but had a good love story behind his life; by using him she was able to take chances in her writing style. http://www.austinchronicle.com/books/1997-05-16/528177/
