Sample response:Life is hard in Russia for the working class. My children and I are hungry and cold, and my husband and son are away at war. I miss them, and I hope they return home soon. Many people have lost family members in the war, and the government does not care that we are starving, cold, or dying. The Bolsheviks promise peace, land, and bread. I hope they can do something about our current situation.
