If you want to be a success you have to work hard and believe in what you are doing, it’s like working hard in the school because you want to be a success, to make your dreams come true it’s not your mom or dad that makes you a success only their love to you, but it’s your decisions that can change everything you will always have your parents by your site to ask them for a advice, but in the end its your decisions that makes you to who you are today.

The essay is written by, Jeanette Winterson, she is a British writer but the essay was first published in the observer, June 13, 2010, The text is about Winterson’s vegetable shop located on, Spitalfields in the East End of London. In the start of the text Winterson talks about her shop and that it feels like she opened it in 1805 (page 7 line 1-3). It’s like she almost tells the reader that it feels like its 1805 because the shop she have is very “old school” if you can say it like that, she talks a lot about the 1790s to the 1879 in the start and she also says that the street name of the street was named after the priory hospital for lepers, that stood on the market site in the “middle ages (page 7 line 18-20 ). Winterson focus a lot about history its like her passion she likes to talk about food and she loves the way that some food is made, who planted it how did it grow. Though the story the author uses some kind of “old language”, like she says on (page 1 line 3-10). Winterson says that there is some kind of wall that splits Spiralfields and “The Old City” from each other, and the way Winterson describes it , it is an old city that is lawless and the costermongers carted their veg in from Essex and Kent, she says that they are known for fighting and thievery, when she talk about the old city her language gets another tone, like when she talk about spitalfields, Winterson really loves spitalfields and the markets around, but when she talk about the old city it’s like she don’t care about them and what they are doing over there. When we get to page 2, Winterson really thinks that we humans shouldn’t take all the small decisions forgiven, because small decision can be something that can change your life, it’s just like Winterson she started from the bottom were the fruit and veg shop was not up and running so she decided to buy it, and then start to build it make it nicer, well now you can see that she did it and it was a success on her side. Winterson is also going in for the food politics, she came in on it throw eating it and because she was curious about the way it was grown and harvested ( page 8 line 87-90). Winterson loves food she even unpack the food that she buys in the store before she even walk out of there, she knew that it was annoying for other people, but she did not care because food is the most important thing in life as she says on (page 8 line 90-97). Winterson hate the fact that the supermarkets prices on the food is so expensive, so that the poor people can’t afford to buy some nice and good quality food, but it cannot be to cheap so that the once who work to get the food grown and harvested doesn’t get underpaid (page 9 line 190-198).

Winterson worries about that everything they do in the shop is to earn money, well it is a part of it, but no she says that “The bottom line isn’t profit: it is being human”. Winterson started the shop because she thinks that working from the bottom to something better is the right way to do it, just like school or an education you start from the bottom and you just need to work hard to get to the top. Winterson want people to think about the little thing in life, like she did with the shop she could have decided that she would sell it and make some good money, but no she started from the bottom and now she have her own little veg shop that she loves to be a part of, and that’s something you all can think about don’t take the little things in life in vain. In the end of the text Winterson says that, the everyday politics about food is something we all need to worry about because if we don’t the market price on the food will grow and it’s going to keep growing because the little markets needs money to, and someday, the big businesses will take over and make the food more expensive.

I think the start of the text is hard to understand, later on if you keep reading it’s going to make sense I like the fact that Winterson thinks about other people than herself she even helped Harvey as she says “He couldn’t pay the rent but he had the skills”, just the fact that she says a lot about food, where it comes from an everything like that, you should just live your dream out try it and see how it goes.
