When I woke up this morning it was just like any other morning. The house was cold, damp, smelled of mould and there was no breakfast, again. As usual I was the first in the family to wake up as the fiery red morning sunlight filled our tiny house. As I sat up, slowly lifting my head off of the floor, I looked over at my little brother I noticed that he had peed in his sleep again. That’s okay though, grandpa says it helps with the bed bugs. I got up off of my little straw bed and went to get the water so I could clean him up. After that I started doing the rest of my regular chores. I fed the animals (including my younger brothers), patched up some clothing, swept the floor, and milked the cows. The day was just like any other day, but tomorrow might be different. Dad says that something called a revolution is going to happen soon. I don’t know much more about it because he didn’t add any detail, but I have the feeling that a lot of things are going to be different tomorrow, not just my little daily routine.

Today was like any other day. I woke up and called for my maid to dress me. I had breakfast in my room and then my tutor arrived. At dinner Father mentioned that some peasants had stormed the Bastille and captured the governor. It seems they are trying to start a revolution. I was worried about what would happen, but my older brothers just laughed at my fears. Father said that the king will stop the revolution before it begins. I was not so sure but he sounded so sure of nothing happening that I kept my fears to myself.

¬¬Today has been most profitable, I had a meeting with the queen, and then I saw some peasants; disgusting little things, the peasants, grovelling at my feet, crowding the streets. I think they should all just be killed. I think they should just find some work somewhere and stop complaining. Yet, alas I have my fortress, my own little castle, my home. The visit with the queen went well; she seemed to be in high spirits, despite the situation on the other side of her walls. I do hope she gets this country together, either by killing the peasants or just giving them some aid so they’ll get off my back and stop begging. I do enjoy having people to admire me though; I must look like some kind of god to them. The food was good, quite good, especially the ham. The wine was exquisite as well. I must be going now there are many things to do…

This blog response is written from the perspective of a young girl who has grown up in an aristocrat family and is sheltered from the politics of her country.
