Annotated Biography
Russian Revolution of 1917." World Book Student. 2009. San Diego. 13 Feb. 2009
.
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.

Research Questions
Dr. Zhivago- Boris Pasternak
Right now I am at page 144 of a 493 page book. so far in the book the plot that has followed two main characters and there lives and how they were effected by it. the unique thing that the plot takes place in war torn Russia during its pre- to post revolution life. The two main characters are Lara Guishar and Yuri Zhivago. Lara, who father had died, moved to a town with her mother and brother. She was about 15 and soon after moving she had an affair with Victor a man who was in his fifties. to break the relationship she runs away and works very hard as a nanny. she works very hard and one day decides to shoot the man that had made her so miserable. she misses and ends up married to Pasha and has a child. Yuri parents both dies and he end up studying to be a doctor and marries to Tonia and had a son. When war breaks out Dr. Zhivago goes to work and Pasha is killed in war so Lara becomes a nurse. They meet in a small town and that's as far as I am right now.
The Russian Revolution is two revolutions in Russia, and the events surrounding them, which led to the switch of the old Tsarist Autocracy to the Soviet Union in 1917. The two revolutions were The October Revolution and The February Revolution.
1. What effect does food and money have on the progression of a revolution?
2. What effect did the Russian revolution have on the different social classes of the time?
3. How did the railroad effect the events leading up to, the revolutions, and after?
