newresearchquestion,

Has bloodshed been the only way for the government to take notice and to have successful a revolution?

quote,

Quote: "How had it happened? How could it possibly have happened? It was too late now, she should have though of it earlier. Now she was - what was it called? - a fallen woman."

Question: What exactly did they mean by a fallen woman? How did it happen? What exactly happened?

Comment: When i first read this part i was really confused just as in this part of the book things happened fast, they also skipped to this part really fast. I didnt understand what had happened so fast and what they meant by a fallen woman. Later on i understood that fallen meant she wasnt pure anymore. I also realized this because later on it sayd the other girls would be little children compared to her now.

We found this website very helpful because it gave all the information in a way that wasn't unapproachable. It gave detailed information of what happened in Russia like the October revolution, the February revolution and what was happening outside of Russia like World War One. We like that a section of the article was on the aftermath. It was very helpful in understanding the effects of the war.
