Here are two different diary entries written by 2 different women. Can
you guess who the women are? What helped you guess?

1st woman 2nd woman

Today in the palace was all about fancy
dresses and important meetings with
important people. It felt like I was living in
a big, beautiful bubble where everyone
knows who I am and what I have to do.
But sometimes, I feel like a bird in a
golden cage, wishing to fly away. I dream
of adventures beyond these tall castle
walls, where I can feel the wind in my hair
and the sun on my face. Maybe one day,
I'll find the courage to step out of my royal
shoes and chase my dreams like a hero in
a story.
Another day on the farm, with the sun
rising early and setting late. From the
moment I wake up to the moment I rest
my head on my pillow, I'm surrounded by
the earth's warm embrace. There's
something special about the smell of fresh
soil and the sound of animals waking up.
It's hard work, no doubt, but there's a
peaceful rhythm to it all. Despite the
sweat on my brow and the dirt on my
hands, there's nothing I'd trade for the
simplicity and beauty of farm life.

The woman is: ............................. The woman is: .............................
