Diary entry #1: 17th May 1788

Dear Diary, Today was just like any other normal day. I got up and went to work straight away however today the harvest was not as good, but we definitely had worst days before. After working for 7 hours, we got more than half of the harvest done. We had a small lunch which was a very small piece of bread (Cost of bread) that we got from our owner [|Sir, Lacrioix]. He doesn't He is a very rich noble and nicer compared to other landowners and nobles however sometimes he could be rude and disrespectful. After a short break, during the short break our family friend (another peasant) came over, we talked about those ideas that has been going around. The ideas that talked about a new constitution and how our government can like the American government that was ruled by the people. Since there weren't much to harvest we sat down and payed some cards and continued our discussion. Then in few hours we had to get back to work. Yet as there weren't a lot to harvest today so we finished our work early. However I had to come home earlier than my family and cook dinner. We just and soup and some leftover food from our land owner, he just had a grande party few days ago with his friends and his servants gave us the leftovers. Because he lives so far away sometimes it's hard to get food or money. After dinner we prayed as usual, that our government change and we get the freedom we deserve. Hoping for a change our family went to bed .

Diary entry #2: 6th October 1789

Dear Diary, Yesterday I have attended the Women's march on Versille. It has been over a year since I wrote a diary entry, however that one year was tough, harder than ever, the bread prices were going up and hitting the roof. We have to still pay for taxes while the nobles and clergies just sit and have an amazing life. (Poverty and Revolution) And because of the expensive coast, My landowner wouldn't even share a piece. I went to that march so that I could feed my family. It really rips my heart seeing my children starve. All I wanted was too feed myself and my family. I walked and walked demanding for bread and food for my family. However other women also wanted King and Queen back to the Capital city of France They wanted them back in Paris in the Tuilleries Palace. This all began early in the morning yesterday, we, the women of France all gathered together in the central marketplace of Paris. Then we marched through the streets, more women left their homes and joined us. We were armed with pitch forks, muskets, pikes, swords, crowbars, and scythes. It was a long walk to the Versiles but when reached there, we straight away stormed through the gates and demanded for bread. Some of us went passed through the guards and went into the palace. It was the most magnificent place I have ever witnessed. However without enjoying the wealth of our King and Queen, we kept on walking till we found their bedroom. Yet, no one was there, they have already escaped. This made us more angry feeling that our plan and failed. Therefore we just stabbed their enormous bed with our pikes and pitch forks. Today the King and Queen announced that they were moving back to France. So there was some good that was put into this. I'm really happy that now that they are in Paris, people might be able to get their ideas and complaints to the king. Other than that, nothing has changed, my family is still starving, my husband, Paul - Henri works as much as he can however, earns nothing because the harvest wasn't as good these days. This upsets all of us. I don't know what I could do more to help, if I had to give up my life to give enough bread for my family to eat for a week, I would because we are all starving... After when I came back from the march, my brother, Bruno Petite rushed to my housed wondered if I was injured, which I wasn't, I don't understand how he is so overprotective. But I guess its because he is the eldest of our family and because I am the youngest. He became like a dad to me, and I guess that is why he was so over protective. And so we pray today for the bread prices to go down and to make sure we get the constitution we need at the end of this.

Diary entry #3: 7th July 1800

Dear Diary, Today was an amazing day, I was able to send my kids, Pierre and Jean to school for the first time, However we can't send them to school to often because we need help with the farming. But we sent them today because its time for them to find a wife. They are almost 13 and it is time for them to really start their own family. I'm getting really old now, most of my friends died due to their old age and the their health. Right now I am not sick, However soon I would be and will also fallow my friends and hopefully go to heaven. Therefore I want to see my sons getting married and starting a new family before I die. That was one of the main reason I sent them to school. Due to the fact that they were in school, my husband and I had to really work hard. We usually had break after lunch, however we went to work straight away. Then Few hours later they came back from school, and explained their day. I am so glad that Napoleon made some changes, because now I can rest in peace hoping that my grandchildren will be able to live where there is liberty. The Napoleon Code is really great even though some say that it took away some of their rights, I believe that it gave more rights than what they took away.... Right now, our family economics are pretty good, even thought the harvesting is still tough, our land owner Sir, Lacrioix, had flee, leaving his own country France. As a result our family got the land to ourselves!! Things are going great these days and I'm sure that it will get better as the year progress, and hopefully the economy will get better, because the bread prices are still really high and sometimes we don't get to eat a meal. Still it's getting better and we today we pry again that France would became a country of liberty and better economics.
