Winehouse

              This is a picture of the Winehouse in A Tale of Two Cities where in some scenes the author displays foreshadowing. Charles Dickens displays foreshadowing multiple times where he hints to the reader what is going on later in the book, story, excerpt, etc.. In y opinion, the Winehouse description of its surroundings displays how desperate the people are. One example of this is when the author says, "All the people within reach had suspended their business, or their idleness, to run to the spot and drink some wine"(Dickens 20). What this quote simply means is that since the wine fell, people came to drink it because it was free. Another example is when the author says, "Some men kneeled down, made scoops of their two hands joined, and sipped, or tried to help women bent over their shoulders, to sip, before the wine had all run out between their fingers"(Dickens 21). This means the people are trying to get every last ounce of the wine to drink it because its free.The last example that supports that the people are desperate is that when the author describes the people like "Samples of a people that had undergone a terrible grinding and re-grinding in the mill"(Dickens 21). What this quote means is that they have to work extra hours for the money. But in general anyone can do that but if they take stuff for free, absolutely anything then its being desperate. In conclusion, these people in A Tale of Two Cities are desperate people and the wine shop is their most comely and homely place.
