 * First Diary Entry**
 * June 1st, 1788**

Dear Diary, Today was a very tiring day. I woke up at 6 as usual, but my headache from yesterday got worse. I told my wife Angevin, but she wouldn't care much. My whole body was getting itchy, and I thought getting some breakfast would make me feel better. I had a very small piece of bread because I was aware that the cost of bread is continuously rising very rapidly. But that wouldn't do. As I am a very responsible farmer, I really do care about my family and their life. I've never missed one farming day ever in my entire life, and this is going to continue on until the day of my death. So I decided to drag my heavy body and start farming like any other day. As always, I started off by pulling off weeds. My daily farm routine continued, but I noticed that my eyes were getting drowsy. I couldn't stand this anymore, but I didn't want to disappoint my wife and my children either. Immediately when the clocked pointed towards 12, I pulled myself one step by another and walked towards my house. I had a small loaf of bread dipped in broccoli soup for lunch, and walked back to farm again. My slow, lazy actions today did not produce much crops as usual. I returned home to have dinner. My wife understood how terrible my health was, so she told me to take a rest. I took a deep nap, which actually led me to sleep throughout the whole night. Oh diary, please pray that my health will soon be restored.

Sincerely, Paul-Henri<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"> Lefèvre

Second Diary Entry September 21st, 1789

Dear Diary, I have to tell you that my health has been improving very much for the past year. I will call this a miracle, regarding that there are not a lot of people who can actually struggle through health problems. This was all due to my wife, Angevin's love and support. However, a lot of things had happened for the past year while I was gone. As the bread cost is continuously rising, French people are getting insanely mad. Now I am even hearing some rumors from people and even from my wife that there is going to be some kind of a march in Versailles. I am not sure what this is exactly going to be about, but as I am overhearing my wife talking to other women, I think this is going to be a very effective and huge act that might even lead to the king and queen's execution. Anyways, my harvest for the past couple of weeks has been very terrible. I know my family can understand this situation, but still, I feel sorry for them. I hold all responsibility in my family's living, food, and shelter. Even our landowner, [|Lacrioix,] wouldn't be generous enough to share us some pieces of bread. Now that my vision for hope is becoming blurrier, I am hoping just a tiny bit that this women's march act (or whatever it's called) will be happening soon. Until then, wish me some luck.

Sincerely, Paul-Henri

Diary Entry # 3 November 3rd, 1800

Dear Diary, I will start this diary by apologizing for my laziness of not continuing my entries. There has been so many things going around for the past year. The Revolution was a huge success, and we French citizens have finally got the chance to live a peaceful life. Even after the revolution, there were many series of events that are leading to a huge improvement in our government. And after a pretty good harvest of crops afternoon, I spent the last couple of hours spending time with my family talking about our life. We all gathered around the table with white bread and some olive sauce for dinner. Both my twin sons, Pierre and Jean listened carefully of my praying before having the food. I prayed for the goodness that is continuously overflowing throughout our country. I prayed for the appreciation that I have to express for my family's settlement. I prayed for the state of peace that we have been going through and //will// be going through as well. And last of all, I prayed for the huge change that our leader, Napoleon, had brought to us. He has achieved so many things that brought a drastic change to everyone in France. He is a true leader of our country, and our family was all pleased to take the moment to appreciate everything that is being given to us. And there is absolutely no regret for choosing this particular day to take the time to appreciate our leader, regarding that today's harvest was a huge improvement. Our leader, who has put so much effort into creating a new system of laws that would strengthen our government, marks a truly remarkable, unforgettable history. And lastly, thank you for everything.

Sincerely, Paul-Henri

Well done, although the image of the Vietnamese rice grower is inappropriate so I've taken off a half point for that.
