A Male Factory Laborer - On Unionization

Being a male factory laborer, I spend most of my day working in the dark, hot mines with very little protection. My job is very dangerous and many are killed doing what I do by being crushed by fallen rocks or by sufocating from the toxic fumes. I go to work every day knowing that I may not make it home to see my family. Though my job is harmful to my body and i make very little money doing what I do, there aren't many other options for me. I must support my family and due to the easy availability of this job, I had to take it. It is great that we all have jobs and I am a good worker, but the life that I live now is a tough one. I really have to fight off the fear that I have of losing my life with the satisfaction of knowing that I am doing the best to support my family through these changing times.

The French Revolution - The Commoner

We the commoners of France deserve much more freedom from the leashes of government. We ask the government to stop spilling more blood over the slightest offense of speaking out against corrupt leaders. We also ask for more land that we work very hard for. We hold the most common of jobs but still dont have much say in government. With a corrupt leader at the head, how are we, the best representatives of our nation, suppose to change France for the better? We must let the common people lead our country into a new era.
