The passage I have chosen is from Chapter 5, book 1, which takes place at a wine shop. Dickens is using this passage to explain the recent event that has taken place; crowds of people gather in front of the wine shop, and actually scoop up the wine for themselves from the broken cask. That shows the readers that these peasants are in physical hunger and are that desperate for food, showing that France isn’t in good shape. Once all the wine is gone all that is left over is the stains of the red wine on the street, the peoples hands, faces and feet. Dickens is foreshadowing the blood that will be left there in later years during the revolution. Like I stated before Dickens is showing the peasants hunger, but I think he is showing the physical hunger and the hunger the peasants have for justice and that they want freedom from the misery they’re in, therefore I feel he is also foreshadowing that the peasants are going to revolt and that they’re will be some kind of revolution. When Dickens says “the wine was red wine”, it is symbolic in a way of showing the sense of revolution, because the peasants dressed themselves in the color red while revolting, but also the fact that red is symbolic by symbolizing the blood of all the peasants and people of France that will die in the fight for what they believe in. I also believe when Dickens closes this passage with the words wine-lees blood he is trying to say that although at that moment its just wine, eventually lives are taken and it turns into real blood, and that the blood will stain the streets of France, leaving a reminder of this terrible…

The climate change mitigation today is a wide field, which it has to be since mostly all of human activity has some kind of impact to the environment. As of today the climate change is a growing subject and has really been taken into attention the last decade (source) as the climate change is becoming more and more noticeable by extreme weather, increasing temperatures, rising seal level and melting glaciers. One topic within climate change mitigation is how the extraction, use and growing scrap levels from different materials is having an impact to the environment. The growing demand of materials such as steel, concrete, aluminum, paper and plastic is forcing the production and extraction of these materials to grow and so does the emissions coming from these industries, together with activities using these materials such as transport. In this paper the role of material efficiency will be assessed by comparing the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from material production…
