My name Kendall, and I live in France during the time of the Revolution. Everyone is rebelling against our king and it is getting pretty scary. Actually, I’m terrified, so I sit back and watch. Many people go outside and speak there minds. I later see them being beaten and taken to be imprisoned, and then a couple days later they face the guillotine. A man named,Robespierre, took over as our leader. He is a crazy man. Every single person that has spoke against him or the rebellion, have been sent to the guillotine and has been beheaded. When I walk around the, I must be careful of the people who I associate with. If I associate with the rich people, I could be accused of being against the rebellion and then be beheaded myself. If I associate with the Protestants, then people will assume I am all for the rebellion and try to convince me to get involved. At this point, it is easier for me to just not talk to anyone, and stay to myself. I just witnessed the beheading of King Louis, and Marie Antoinette. I didn't think that they were corrupt rulers, I just feel that they used the money unwisely. If people would have told them to stop spending a lot of money on worthless parties instead of killing everyone! I hope I am able to survive through this...
