Body Biography of Charles Darnay

        In this drawing I added 3 objects that symbolize Charles Darnay. First is the trashcan. In the trashcan, I filled it with coins and dollar bills. I did this because Charles does care about money, but does not care about the way his family made it. Second, the two flags. The top flag is the French flag and the bottom is the England flag. This is because he from France to England to escape his past, which was his family and all the bad deeds they did. The last object is the paper bag. The paper bag with eye wholes usually represents shame and I added it for Darnay's feelings towards his family.

     "I must do, to live, what others of my countrymen, even with nobility at their backs, may have to do some day-work" (Dickens 95).  In this quote, Darnay explains what he wants to do with his new life. In his "new life" he will make his money how everyone else does, working, and refuses to accept the money his family made.

    A Tale Of Two Cities Light vs. Darkness Analysis 

          In chapter 6 of A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens uses light and darkness to set the tone of hope and hopelessness. First, it says "You can bear a little more light." (Dickens 36). In this event as the door is opening, more and more light is coming into the room but thats not what it initially means. The quote is referencing Lucie as the light and how as she walks in she will shine upon her father. Then, Dickens says "The darkness deepened and deepened, as they both lay quite, until a light gleamed through the chunks in the wall." (Dickens 36). In this quote, they were about to leave Lucies father. When is says the "darkness deepened"  it means Lucie (light) is about to leave, so it is darkening. Finally, in the book it says "his cold white head mingled with her radiant hair, which warmed and lighted it as though it were the light of freedom shining on him." (Dickens 34). Here, Lucie is laying her head on her father. Whilst she does this, he notices the resemblance between Lucie's hair and her mother's and it warms him up. By "warming up" it mean Lucie is racalling him to life. In conclusion, Charles Dickens uses light and darkness to portray the sadness, hopelessness, hopefulness, and love the characters are feeling in chapter 6.

"The wine shop"

This is a 1st person view of a citizen that is scooping up wine from the ground with his hands.

       When the wine spilled, everyone from around the area went running to drink it off the ground.  Men, women, mothers, fathers, and even children drank it from off the dirt ground and cared no less then one another. Everyone was happy, having a cheerful time but I don't believe that's the only thing the author meant by it. I think he was foreshadowing that something wrong was going to happen soon. "the wine was red wine, and had stained the ground of the narrow street in the suburb of Saint Antoine in Paris, where it was spilled. It had stained many hands, too, and many faces, and many naked feet, and many wooden shoes...scrawled upon a wall with his fingers dipped in muddy wine lees-BLOOD." By this he meant that the "wine stains" are actually blood stains yet to come.

          "The time was to come, when that wine too would be spilled on the street stones, and when the stain of it would be red upon many there." That means that the red stains are interpreted as the wine stains and the future blood stains.  "And now that the cloud settled in Saint Antoine, which a momentary gleam had driven from his sacred countenance, the darkness of it was heavy-cold, dirt, sickness, ignorance, and want, were the lords in waiting on the saintly presence-nobles of great power all of them; but, most especially the last. That quote makes me think that in the bad scenario that ends in bloodshed, people of great power are involved. That is why it mentioned "most especially the last".
