A Bloody Revolution – Andre’s Diary of The French Revolution

I am Andre, McEvoy, the son of Kevin, McEvoy.  I’m 6.2 feet, and just finished college a few months ago. I’ve been trying to find a job everywhere in France. However, for now, I worked on my family’s farm to survive. As day by day passed by, conditions in France got worse. I used to have those sparkling brown eyes, looking handsome in the sunshine. However, now, I’m left with my tiny eyes, looking huge and pale in the dusty yellow sky.  After the king raised the taxation, I’ve truly had enough. My family had to give away all the crops and now we have nothing to eat! The king and his government are driving me NUTS! And below is my journal of the French Revolution!

After all the turning points, the revolution finally came to an end after Napoleon crowning himself. Although the French revolution changed and improved a lot of things. For example, France’s social and political structure, the education was better, people gained freedom, food prices became lower and lots more! However, what stayed the same after the revolution was the size of France. In addition, some might say that France went back to monarchy again, but a good one to me.

A Revolution With Blood – The French Revolution

For hundreds of years before the French revolution, France was divided into three Estates, The First Estate (The Clergies) The Second Estate (The Nobles), and The Third Estate (The Peasants), and above all was the king and the queen. The peasants do not have many rights and had to pay all the taxes, while the other estates enjoyed their fancy lives living in palaces. This caused the third estate to think that it was not very fair for them, and eventually, members of the third estate spread revolutionary ideas like reasons and science, which led to a revolution, the French revolution. 

This is the French Revolution in plain English!
