Analyze this Class 8

Under Louis XV newspapers were forbidden from containing information about public affairs.  Thus, people hungry for discourse needed a place to meet and discuss what was held out of the media.  The tree of Cracow stood near the center of Paris in the garden of the Palais-royal, which is where citizens hungry for information would meet to hear novelists and street singers perform and spread rumors about the ruling elites who had forbade content of this kind in the press.  Here people could hear songs and poems that would become well know among Parisians and possibly act as the seed of the coming revolution.
