Chance, the owner of this Journal, is a peasant who was chosen as one of the representatives of the third estate. He was 20 years old when the revolution started and survived through the entire revolution and witnessed many key events of the revolution.

Some of the things that stayed the same were the size of France and religion. Although religion was slightly impacted, however, it still carried through the revolution. Some of the things that changed were inequality, governing, and the sacrifice of 15000 people.
