Diary Entry #1

Dear Diary,

Today wasn't different from other days. Similar to before, I woke up at 6 am and started working with my twin brother Pierre and father Paul-Henri. I was very tired and frustrated because I became exhausted from yesterday's work. I think I used up all my power yesterday. However, there was no choice, and I had to constantly work and work again in order to help my father farming. In these days, I don't like my life because there is nothing to enjoy. Even though we work hard in order to earn a lot of money, our money disappear as soon as we get it. My parents, who used to encourage me and my brother, are very depressed because the price of Bread went up too much. Also, the tax system of the government is even making our family's life more miserable. My brother and I really want to help our parents, but our help is very limited because all we can do is just work. Besides, I really don't understand nobles because they have more money and food than they need. Why can't they just share their foods and money? I am very angry about the society and government. In addition, my dream of becoming royal guard vanished due to the fact that I am the son of peasant. I wish the society and the government can understand the feelings of peasants.

Diary Entry #2

Dear Diary,

As I predicted before, members of Third Estate started a Revolution against the unfair government and greedy nobles. My father is very busy because he joined the Revolution in order to make our family life more comfortable and easier. On the other hand, my mother marched to Versailles with other women because they became really angry about the fact that their children are suffering from hunger. A lot of women demanded Louis XVI to go back to Paris. My brother and I are very confused and distracted because we don't actually know what is going on in Revolution. However, we really hope that the government changes and understands the members of Third Estate. If Revolution actually change the country, our family will not suffer from poverty anymore. Even though I don't wish that adults of Third Estate use violence to nobles and king, I wish that Revolution succeeds without any difficulties. The good news of today is that Louis XVI decided to move back to Paris. This indicates that Louis XVI actually listened to women of Third Estate. Thus, I strongly believe that there is some changes in our society through the Revolution. Also, I wish our parents are safe and protected.

Diary Entry #3

Dear Diary,

Even though Revolution was a very hard process, it finally finished when Louis XVI was executed in front of many people. Also, my father and mother came back to the house in the evening. I really did not want people to use violence, but I am actually very happy that members of Third Estate will gain some rights. I heard that Napoleon Bonaparte took over the government with his armies.As soon as I heard that news, I was very excited that he might change the society and make our family life more comfortable. And, my prediction was right! There were many changes under the reign of Napoleon. First, peasants are now able to keep our lands because Napoleon eradicated Feudalism. Second, he declared that there were no longer any special privileges for nobles, church, and rich people. Third, the price of bread decreased a lot which will allow our family to eat food constantly. Last, the tax system changed a lot which means that amount of tax dropped under the new law made by Napoleon. Our family and whole neighbors are very happy that the life of Third Estate people changed a lot and got much better under the reign of Napoleon. I am very excited that my life and my brother's life actually changed because our loads of work decreased. Our family is very satisfied with Napoleon because he definitely changed our family's life!
