Day 1 Dear diary, I am Royal Guard Barnard François. I'm guarding King and Queen. Its 1788 early in the winter. I have to stand in front of the palace and guard the palace. It's hard to stand here during the winter. But I have to work everyday for my family and for my self too. When I'm standing in front of the palace, I can hear some rumors between people. When I'm hearing those rumors, I have the bad feeling that something big will happen soon. I'm afraid if its war or revolution... If the war or revolution happens, I think Taxationis the reason why the war or revolution happens. Especially, the third estate are the one who is really angry about taxation. [|__Life of three estates__] is really hard, like me... We have to pay a lot of taxes, it's hard to buy our own meal too... If the war occurs, I'm worry about I might fight with my close friends and my families. My job is to protect royal family, which means King and Queen. I'm not sure I should protect King and Queen, and became enemy of my close people and my families, or betray King and Queen and fight with my families.... what should I do? In the morning, I saw a __Jacqueline Marseiles__, countess. She is mean. She doesn't share any money or food to poor people. Today, she was walking around the palace. So, today I thought I should say that she is mean and wrong. I should not speak my thought, but I couldn't just stand there. So I told her, " Excuses me, madam. I know I have no right to say these thing to you, but I think you should share some food or money with poor people. They are dieing in front of you because of huger. I hope you can help poor people." I was so nervous, but at the same time, I was proud of my self. She was so mad. I think she is going to do something to me..... What should I do, if she tells to King,..? And I going to be fired? After the lunch, a __beggar__ and his dog were walking around the front of the palace. They were looking for the food. However, people were rejecting them. Of course, they will. It's also hard for them to buy their own meals. They don't have any foods to give them. A few minutes later, they came to me. I tried to not notice them. They asked me, if I have food to give them. But I already bought my lunch and ate them. Only money that I have is for my dinner and the money to send it to my family. I wanted to give them some money to buy their meals, however, I'm also the third estates;it's really hard for me to give them some money for food. I didn't have any choice to reject them. I felt so sad for them. But if I want to survive in these world, I had to reject them. After the diner, I had to go to meet __Andre__, he is ten years old little boy, who take cares of horses. I knew him seen when I was little. At that time he was a baby. I went to his house often, and took care of him. I bought my own bread and went to his house. When I went to his house, he was starving. He seems like he didn't eat anything for a day. I felt sad for him. So I gave him my bread. It was my dinner, but I just gave it to him. He seems really happy. The reason why I came to meet him is to borrow a horse. Of course, I'm not allowed too. Only high classes can borrow the horse. I explained him why I need a horse. I had to go back to my hometown, and give my money to my family. My mom is really sick right now, and they need money immediately. If I send them money by post, then they get the money late. They have to buy medicine by today. After I explained to him, he let me borrow his horse, but he said that I have to come back by morning. King and his subordinates are coming to borrow his horses for hunting. I promised with him that I'll come back by morning. Right now, before I start going to my hometown, I'm writing this dairy. I hope I can come back safely, and hope that I can come back by morning. "pdollar.com Â» 2007 Â» March." pdollar.com. N.p., n.d. Web. 5 Dec. 2011. .

Diary 2

Dear diary, it is second time to write my diary. You know that in diary one,which is a year a go, I talked about something big will happen? Finally, the revolution happened. __King Louis XIV's__ attitude made people angry. He put more taxes and raise prices of bread. So the __peasant__ couldn't buy bread anymore... Even I'm royal guard, I'm still the third estate, I'm also hard to buy bread... I have no idea how to live from now on... Early in the morning, before I go to the work, I went to __Leon Fortescue__to fix my clothe. I know that, it also take some money to fix my clothe, but I can't wear it, if I don't fix it. And I can't fix it by myself. I needed some money to fix my clothe, so I used my money which was money for my dinner. I wanted to buy new clothe, but I don't have any money to buy new clothe. So I didn't any choice to just fix my old clothe. While he was fixing my clothe, we talked about the revolution. I think he knows what's going on to Paris these days, but not specifically, so I told him what's going on these days;about Parisian women march to Versailles and force Louis XVI and his family to return to Paris. Also I told him that third estates made National Assembly, and Tennis Court Oath. He was kind of interested in my story. I was so hungry while I was waiting. I couldn't eat anything for two days now.. The price of bread is too high, I don't have enough money to buy every meal. If I eat three times a day, then I don't have any money to send to my family... Now, I miss the day when I eat three times meals in a day... I think Leon Fortescue knew I'm hungry, because all the time, I was covering my stomach my hands. He gave me a small bread. He told me to eat it. I was so happy. I didn't know how to express my feeling. Even it was a small bread, it was better then not eat anything. Also, I had to skip my dinner today too.. (because I used the money to fix my clothe..) I felt so sorry for him... After lunch, I was standing in front of the palace. These days, Most of the people were standing in front of palace. I was so scared, because I was guarding in front of the palace, and people were trying to go in the palace. They were pushing me, and they were like if you don't let me to in to the palace, then I'm going to kill you. They didn't really say it, but then, how they act and their face expression tell us that. I'm afraid that I'm going to get kill by them some day. While I was stopping people, and protecting the palace, one women was trying to go into the palace. She was holding some beautiful dresses. Some of the people were watching her widely. Because she was wearing old dresses, but she was holding really beautiful dresses. Her name was __Lucie Petite__. She was dress maker. I had to make sure who she was, and why she has to go in side the palace. She told me that Queen ordered her to bring new beautiful and wonderful dresses. Also, she had the notes from Queen. So I let her in. When people saw me that I'm letting her in side the palace, they also trying to get into the palace. It was really hard to stop them. They also had the weapons. They got the gunpowder and weapons from Bastille, a Paris prison, on July 14, 1789. I hope I'm survive from this.... Also, I was lucky that my families are not in Paris. I don't have to fight with my family, and my close friends.

Diary 3

Deary diary, now, Louis XVI is not __monarchy__ anymore. After Louis XVI died, Napoleon became a new king. I"m still guarding palace, that means I'm guarding new emperor Napoleon. When Napoleon first became a king of France, people were happy about Napoleon became a King in Franc.e He made several changes that were meant to build on the Revolution's good ideas, such as he made tax collection more fair and orderly, removed dishonest government workers, and started new public schools for ordinary citizens, gave the church back some of its power and so on. It helped France to live happily and our country became peacefully. However, these peaceful life didn't go a long time. He started the war. I think he started because he wanted to control Europe by himself. These days, he is winning the wars, but I think he is going to lose badly. Now, I heard that he is planning to attack Britain. But I have very bad feeling for this. In the morning, a women around 18 to 20 years old was carrying a bag of milk. Her name was Renée Necoy. She was flounder around the palace. I thought that she needs to go inside the palace. But I don't know why she was not going in. She saw me;starts to coming toward me. She told me that she came here to bring milk for the palace. The needed the milk, so they ordered her to bring milk However, she is afraid to go in. So she told me if I can take these milk to kitchen of the palace. But my job was guarding the palace. I can't go away from these place. So I rejected her. I just told her to go inside, they are not going to attack you. She seems depressed. But I didn't have any choice. After my job is done, I went to farmer called __Monique Petite__. She lives outside the Paris, town called Versailles. I knew her since when I was young. She is three years older than me. She used to live in my home town. I ofter went her house to buy some vegetables cheaply. So I could get vegetable cheaply than other vegetable stores. When I went to her house, I told her how Paris is going on right now. Because he doesn't live in Paris, so she doesn't really know the situation inside the Paris. I told her that Napoleon is doing a lot of wars against many other countries, and now he is trying to attack Britain. After she heard that Napoleon is planing to attack Britain, she told me that he is crazy, he shouldn't attack Britain. She was afraid that by attacking Britain, bad things will come to France. I hope that he doesn't ruin the France. That's only wish I have.
