Revolutions

[lauraraven]

I did french for revolution one and Russia for revolution two. They were fair apart from the questions about the role of the national guardsmen between June and August 1792. That was a little limiting. Thoughts?

i actually did sectionA russia and B France
however im just eager to respond to a revolutions post seeing as there aren't many.
The paper was pretty good but that question sounds like itd be difficult to draw out a whole 10marks from.,i heard a few friends complaining about it.

for section B france, anyone else found the source a bit weird?
What did people write for the 'using your own knowledge and the extract, explain the agitation to the lead up to the EG' ?

@fadingxvampire
Yeah i did find the source weird at first.
Stupidly i was unsure what the noble was referring to when they said the hellish cabal and stuff. which group was orchestrating the whole thing?
part C and D questions hard i guess. for the agitation preceding the EG i mention the voting matter etc, my friend said food riots  and the high price of bread.

[fadingxvampire]

i wrote about the calling up of the grievances, voting by head and voting by order, then how abbe seiyes prompted the third estate to rise up.

I had to read over it again and again; it was about the revellion riots, then about the voting of the estates general? lol

[millerpede5165]

Sounds similar to what I wrote about, yay
Yeah at first i was like ':\'  but then understood, for this noble guy, revellion and riots and the EGmeeting were all just one big raucus whilst we learnt revellion as a sort of, separate event.
What did you write about the two social groups appaled at behavior?
Bourgeoisie annddd gentefolk?

[fadingxvampire]

yeah; i put down the bourgeioise and the gentlefolk as well!
I was a bit concerned putting them down, cause it mentioned them in like one setence in the source, so i was thinking 'is this it?' lol.
I was confused with the source cause i thought the revellion riots occured after the EG met! ah well... I left this question last and went straight to the essay haha

Yes I did France for Rev one c=
I agree, the National Guards question was a biotch =\
But I was talking to my teacher about it today (she's an examiner) and she said they're being really leniant on it, accepting things from 1790 O-o
So
I'm sure you'll be fine c=
But the other question were great. For the first ten mark question I was like 'YES! I CAN FINALLY TALK ABOUT POLITICAL PORNOGRAPHY!!'
The Necker one was pretty good. Rasputin question was good. Essay question was great c=

[fadingxvampire]

i didn't do this question, but people are talking about political pornograpghy with the french question- If i was to answer it I would focus more on abbe sieyes, etc.
what pornograpghy was produced? lol
