Ch. 17 (pg. 504-7)

What surprised me from reading this section was that the French Revolution was mainly fueled by the nobility and the middle class groups.  I would have thought that it would be mainly fueled by the lower class because they are the ones typically oppressed.  This can be similar to what is occurring here in the U.S. in the present day.  The economy suffering is mainly striking the middle class and really creating a huge gap between the lower and upper class dissipating the middle class.  As we have seen this creates a much larger problem that can be expected because the upper class is comprised of a very small percent of people which means that there are more and more people falling to lower class daily.
