Wine Shop

 The wine from chapter 6 in a Tale of Two Cities  demonstrates the poverty that was president back in the 1860s.   When the wine was spilled in front of the wineshop many people try to salvage the wine in the street.  this is because liquids  and food come rarely to these people.  as the poor people observed the one that was spelt they ran to the site and tried to feed this to their infants to get some liquids in their system.  in my drawing I am from a watchers point of view looking out a window  at the scene that is unfolding.
The quote from chapter 6 reads, " or even with him kerchiefs from woman's heads which were squeezed dry into infants mouths." ( Dickens 21).   this quote demonstrates that these people do not have the advantages of good food and water to live.  even though today we think children drinking alcohol is wrong that was all they had. Many  poor people were excited about this event because it wasn't just ordinary water it was expensive wine that came free to them.
 Secondly Charles dickens writes, "  But so much mud got taken up along with it that there might have been a scavenger in the street if anybody acquainted with it could believed in such a miraculous presence." (Dickens 21).  This quote demonstrates that many people didn't care what came with the wine as long as they got as much as they could to supply their family.  as the scene continued many people rushed in so they could get enough wine to go around.
 Lastly, Charles Dicken demonstrates that many wealthier people were appalled by the site. For example, " All the people within reach had suspended their business or their idleness to run to the spot and drink the wine."  This quote shows that not only the poor people ran for this wine but also people who own and run buissnesses that also wanted this free wine.
This scene demonstrates all the poverty that lived back in the day and it still continues today. For some it isn't easy to get the luxeries of many things, so they have to be prepared at all times.
