1903 in Russia in winter is when this story took place. It goes over a long period of time.

The time period made it so there was no social media and recent inventions so it was harder for them.

Most of the action happened when the Romanov’s were.

The place impacted the people by where the war is and how the people lived

Alexandra who was Nicholas’s wife and she supported Rasputin.

Rasputin who was manipulative and very bad.

I think the author wrote this book to spread awareness about what happened to the Russians during the 1900s. It tells how the government was overthrown and why it happened in the first place. It also tells about how rich and poor people were treated differently. I think the author’s life impacted this book by being a historical writer so that’s why she chose this book.

The author used ethos by giving credits and research into the book.

The author used pathos by telling different stories from people and giving excerpts.

The author used logos by giving accurate information and telling why the people did the things they did.

The song relates to this book because it‘s a summary about Rasputin. He is part of why the Russian family had been executed and why the Russian empire fell apart. There are lyrics that talk about Nicholas II’s wife trusting Rasputin to heal her son, and how he betrayed her. It also talks about how the people did not like Rasputin and wanted him dead

“In 1903—the same year as Nicholas’s costume ball—four out of every five Russians were peasants. And yet the upper classes knew next to nothing about them. They didn’t visit the peasants’ villages or deal with the hired laborers who worked their estates. Instead, they remained comfortably ensconced in luxurious St. Petersburg. From there it was easy to romanticize the peasants’ life. Most nobility (Nicholas and Alexandra included) envisioned peasants living in simple yet cozy huts, their ‘cheeks glowing with good health’; and their teeth ‘whiter than the purest ivory,’ gushed one Russian writer.” (page 5 and 6)

What to say except that this is one of the great stories of history and I never tire of it. This book does a great job of making a complex narrative both clear and human. An accessible, engaging read.
