Diary Entry #1 -

Dear Diary,

As always, my brother Jean woke me up in 6 AM, which I hate to do. I am aware of the fact that the 3rd Estate have to work all day long in order to survive the crisis, but my lazy body wouldn’t want to move a single inch. My father Paul-Henri picked me up into the air and started swinging me around the room. It made me wide-awake and then my brother and I went out to the field to do some work. Unlike my diligent brother working, I would look around tosee if my father (even Jean because he would tell my father about this) is around and stop working until lunch time, which we barely eat, but rest. Although I do want to contribute in helping my family, I just don’t understand how the price of food such as bread went so much higher than before. Then my brother would call me into the field and tell me how his dream of being a royal guard had been crushed because of his identity of being in the 3rd Estate. The day went so fast that I didn’t even realize until the sun actually started swaying to the East. My parents went out and bought few slices of bread, leftover from our landowner, and my mother cooked a bowl of soup. After eating, I would talk to my brother about our future (very depressing). Another tiring day had passed.

Diary Entry #2 -

Dear Diary,

My father Paul-Henri volunteered to join the group of peasants and went far to capture Bastille. He explained that after this, everyone would live happily and equally with each other. Although I am worried about my father getting killed during this revolutionary act by us, but I must admit I hate my life as a 3rd Estate peasant. Not only that, but also my mother joined a group of other peasant women in order to protest and complain the increased prices of the goods and the economic crisis we are experiencing. Although I personally wanted to join father and help them beat the other estates, but I think that I am too weak and young to go out in a revolution. Worrying about my parents out their in the cities made time go really fast and as my brother Jean and I worked in the fields, he would everyday come with information about the revolution. I don't know how would trick adults in telling about the progress, but Jean says that Louis XVI, our king, has moved back to Paris. I'm not sure what this would lead to, but my brother is positive about this. I wish our parents are back as soon as possible because we're starving here.

Diary Entry #3

Dear Diary,

The Revolution finally ended and our parents came back. I heard from Jean that citizens killed King Louis XVI in the guillotine due to the decisions made by the radicals. Not only that, but I also heard that we, the 3rd Estate, would get to gain rights that are some what equivalent to the 2 other estates. Moreover, as soon as Napoleon Bonaparte took over the whole country and virtually ruled as a dictator by crowning himself an emperor, I thought that our rights would be taken away. However, Napoleon expanded the right acts and made the Napoleonic Code, list of a lot of laws in which he made in order to maintain order and piece in France. For example, the 3rd Estate could own land properties, the other estates couldn't use their original privileges, and the prices of goods would have to be decreased. Furthermore, Napoleon increased the tax to the 1st and 2nd Estates and even decreased the tax for us. My mother wanted us to get married as soon as possible because she wished that she wanted to see her grand-daughters or grand-sons before she would die. Ever since our land owner [|Sir Lacrioix] attempted his flee from France, his land became ours, which will be inherited to Jean and I. I am sure that both of us will make the land abundant of crops for our future family and for the poor.
