Diary Entry

Dear diary,
My name is Amanda and right now I'm living in Paris with my family.My family has low wealth and we have trouble paying for food. The rich people decided to make the poor people pay higher tax just so they can have more stupid dinner parties. My daddy has been away ever since the French Revolution began and mommy will not tell me why, which makes me worried! The country is split in two since the rich people are taxing us. The fighting is terrible outside. Mommy and I are hiding in the house. I'm worried about my friends that I play with after my mom is done teaching me. I wonder what they're witnessing. It's the same thing everywhere, anyways. This guy Robespierre is starting to take over and it looks like everything is starting to get back to normal. Right now anything is better than the fighting. Robespierre is one of the rich people too. Now, he's beheading all the rich people. If that's his way of getting things "back to normal", he better quit this whole ruling thing. Mom and I are starving since we can't go out and get food. If we left the house there's a big chance of death. Going outside at this point is like suicide.

-Amanda
