In the novel, A Tale of Two Cities by Charles Dickens: he conveys and captures the growing anger, depression and desperation of the peasantry. Many repetitions, symbols and contrasts of imagery, bring surprise and wonder to the book and grab hold of the reader. These details are expressed in chapter five, throughout the wine casket scene.
You need to italicize the title of the book and come up with and ending. Also I have just cut out the extra verbage, but I think this reads better now. I am not sure about the semi colon after dickens name but if you end with a summary of the book in a sentence you will do great.

You need to add details and discuss them. You have to explain how Dickens conveys the growing anger of the peasants. For example, people in Defarge's shop talk about the terrible conditions. Dickens uses the visual imagery of Defrage's wife picking her teeth. Existence is bleak and miserable and desolate and wretched. There is no niceness or softness. The word "Blood" spelled with the red wine forebodes the revolution that is to come. The mark of hunger is everywhere.

"Even the street signs reflect this hunger, with the butcher's sign painted with only a scrap of meat, the baker's with a tiny loaf. The only thing with the appearance of strength and robustness are weapons: axes, knives, guns."

"Dickens dwells especially on the appalling condition of Defarge's apartment, a "foul nest" with refuse lying around, and a place where the atmosphere is generally dark and poisonous."

"A cask of red wine has been spilled in the street and hungry peasants use various means to sop and drink the mixture of wine and mud before it soaks away. The narrator describes these people as desperate and haggard from long years of deprivation and hunger. "

"This section describes the miserable condition of the peasants in Paris during the period and Gaspard’s graffiti foreshadows the revolution that is soon to come."
