The Price of Freedom
This is my life. I am a royalist, living in the french revolution.
What changed?
Power was given to the peasants and taken from the Church and the nobility. A change was that the church no longer controls the education system. A major change was the declaration of the rights of man, which gave power and freedom to the people of france.
What stayed the same?
It was still a one-man rule of France, just instead of royal blood, it was napoleon. Social Inequality still existed, even though the whole revolution happened because of social inequality. There were still people who had little to their name.

The Renaissance by Renee
Barber’s Choice
The found poem I wrote was taken from the short story “Lather and Nothing Else” by Hernando Tellez. It shows the internal conflict of the Protagonist, and Captain Torres. In the rising action of the story, this conflict illustrates that the barber is faced with a difficult choice: to kill a man who has killed many of their man; or let him go free and face the rebels? The barber comes out as meticulous and precise in his craft, and he considers his razor to be a symbol of ability and authority. He takes his responsibilities seriously, and he is hesitant to use his razor for anything other than its intended purpose, as it shows in here “No, sir. You came in to be shaved. And I do my work honorably.” In the end, the conflict is solved by the barber not killing him, and it was shown that Captain Torres knew he was a revolutionary after all.
