Supprting Details for A Tale of Two Cities By: Charles Dickins

The French Revolution is now happening in Europe. The story's name is a Tale of two cities because it takes place in London and Paris. We are introduced to a messenger whom we later find out is named Jerry Cruncher. He is a messenger for Tellson's Bank. He must deliver a message form London to dover. The message is for Jarvis Lorry the note reads "wait at Dover for Mam'selle" Lorry instructs Jerry to return with this reply " “Recalled to Life.” Confused and troubled by the “blazing strange message". Their are no conflicts so far except far between man and nature because of the treacherousness ride to make the delivery.
