How does Dickens describe the English and French Mobs in Tale of Two Cities?

Did you read the book? Do you have any ideas?

@SpatzieLover I’ve read Book 1 and 2 but I don’t distinctly remember the mobs.

Check out the scene where the child is killed. I seem to remember it being fairly descriptive of the mob.

Yes, and I can tell you that there is definite mob activity in chapter 14.

There’s two hints for your five.

The cliff notes will help if you this hasn’t sparked your memory.

@SpatzieLover If you know some descriptions it’d be great if you could tell me cause I’m looking at chapter 14 and don’t know which mob is which and it’s mostly just Mr. Cruncher talking to his kid.

The English mob follows something.

You must be able to think of some of the major scenes the French mob partakes some chapters later?

@SpatzieLover Was it the French Mob that hung Flounus or something?
And if you got any descriptions at all, please. I have a lot of other homework to do and I really do not get this book along with a lot of my Honors English class (so I’m not just being lazy).

@janbb Which chapter was that?

@comicalmayhem If you don’t “get” A Tale of Two Cities, what are you doing in Honors English? People here will try to help you and to help you understand things, but they are simply not going to do your homework for you, not under any circumstance, and certainly not simply because you “have a lot of other homework to do”. Your begging and demanding that they do will not change that. Sorry.

@lillycoyote It’s just annoying when I ask a homework question and people are like: “Why are you so dumb? Didn’t you read it? I’m not doing your homework for you, lazy ass!”
And note that I mentioned a lot of people in my honors class don’t get it and some don’t even read it. I got in honors because I was good at writing. I was in CP1 last year but my teacher wanted me in honors for my writing- I’m not an advanced reader. I have a terrible attention span when it comes to reading anything overly descriptive like Charles Dickens.

@comicalmayhem I’m sorry to sound harsh but you stated in your details: “I need 5 different descriptions for each mob” and you have repeatedly asked people here to provide those descriptions for you. People here will not do your homework for you and allow you to present it as your own work. Would it be less annoying if people straight out accused you of cheating?

Ok, so Google (without the quotes) “tale of two cities mob”. Scan the first few results – do any of them look like maybe they have helpful hints as to where in the book you’ll find the mobs? Perhaps a pdf by a website that is owned by the company that almost definitely makes the textbook your teacher got this question from? Yes? Good. So then on the left-handed side of that screen (click “quick view” in Google so it’ll open in Google Docs), you can see a little search bar, and it’ll say “tale of two cities mob”. Remove all the words but “mob”, so that you can find the part you want, and search for that. Then it takes you to the part of the pdf with the word “mobs”, and you’ll see a paragraph with phrases like “an English mob follows the [blank] of a [blank blank].” (Blanks are mine, obviously). Under that is a table where one column is the French mob, the other column is the English mob. It has a couple adjectives filled in for each. SCORE!!!

So, then you go to Google Books and search for “Tale of Two Cities” (with or without quotes, but I prefer without). Then choose the first option (because it’ll show you the entire thing, being free and not just a long preview). On the left side, under the book cover icon thingy, there’s a search bar for searching inside the book. Type in one or two of those adjectives, and search – even if he used the word 10 times, that’s only 10 possible page options down from a few hundred. If you can figure out which one will be the mob scene just from those small previews, awesome, if not, click on each option till you figure out which one you need. Then it’ll open up the page, and you can read the few paragraphs above and below it, where your descriptions will almost definitely be. Now, repeat that for the other mob. And….. done.

You should know that it is Fluther’s stated policy that we do not give homework answers; this is why you are only getting some very good suggestions as to where and how you might look.
