It is almost Spring Break and I am so happy. I am really looking forward for our Spring Break because I want o mainly just rest. I want to spend a lot of time with my family, so that we can do many fun things together. The part that I am looking forward the most to having an Easter party. That is always a good thing because it means that we get a lot of candy. Even though our parent do not let us eat a lot of candy we still eat as much as we can on Easter. That is bad because then we usually end up sick the day after that. I hope that we go to the park so that we can play, run, and eat over there. Especially when it is kind of hot but a little breezy. I have not gone to the park in a long time so I am really in a mood to go. If we do not go to the park, I would like to hide the eggs in my backyard, because there is a lot of space and if we do not find the egg that day we will eventually find it another day. My backyard is really big and it has a variety of places, where you can hide the eggs. The good thing about is always that the family gets together to celebrate. We have a lot of fun when we are together. We usually are outside the whole day. We eat, play and even sing or dance outside. So I am really hoping to spend time with my family, especially with my little brother. I am also going to rest, and relax during our break. Hopefully I get a lot of candy and that I have a good Spring Break. I am sure that I am going to make it fun. Hope you have and fun happy Spring Break, too!
If I would beget a chance to meet either Leonardo de Vinci or Michelangelo, I would like to meet Leonardo de Vinci rather than Michelangelo for many reasons. First of all, I would like to have him teach me all that I needed to know to be as smart as him. I would like to see all his creation and inventions and ask him what made him so passionate for what he did. I would ask him to draw, create, and sculpt many things for me so that I would have something of mine that would be very valuable.
I would really like to learn many of the things he was able to do. I would really like him to teach me some tricks for architecture, mathematics, science, anatomy, and creating things like he did. One thing I would really like him to do for me would be to have him make a very large sculpture of my whole family. Something really awesome would be if he would write mirror script so that I would see him write so different. This is why I would want to meet Leonardo de Vinci. Leonardo was a very smart man, that created many unforgettable things. He is still remembered for his great works of art.
Surprisingly, many good things happened after the Black Death. One good thing was that peasants were getting more money for their hard work. That was really good because that meant that were getting paid well enough for their work. They actually deserved it. The peasants were demanding to get paid for their talents, abilities, and for their skills. The reason many people were willing to pay them well was because they needed someone to replace the job of someone that was killed in the plague. Since, they really needed people to work for them now that there were less people.
Without these people to do their jobs they would not be able to get everything they had before, and that would turn out to be a bad idea. Many of the peasants started getting wealthier and wealthier. That is because they were being paid beyond what their highest wages would go. That for them was really good. Although many people died, the lives of other people kept going. The plain fact there were more jobs made the peasants feel worthy and very valuable. In fact, they were very valuable because some people did not have the same skills and if there was a specific skill that they needed in the new jobs, the people would make themselves get a good wage or else they would not work. Since, they needed them they accept.
The Black Death was a disease that was brought by ships that came from China. Inside those ships were rats that already had the disease. The rats then got off of the ships and went into the villages during the Middle Ages in Europe. The rats then bite many animals, that passed down the disease. After that the people in those villages would consume the animals.Those animals were pigs, cows, chickens and sometimes even dogs and cats.
The Black Death affected many people because they would pass it down to their families. Then most of those people would die. Soon there were only 2/3 od the population.
I am a thirteen year old boy that belongs to a very noble but very nice family. Throughout the years our last name has been very famous because we have a lot of good knights in our family. My uncle is now the head of the family and he is becoming old. The pope has sent a message to us so that one of our men at home can serve. I am the only man in the house beside my uncle and they are expecting us to send a man to fight. Since my uncle is old I am the one who has to go!
I am who has to go, why me?? I don't feel ready yet. If I refuse to go, I will only be a disgrace to my family. That would surely end our good reputation. If I go though, I can be killed or badly injured. The good thing though would be that I would bring more honor to my family. Then again I have no other choice ,but to go. Maybe it will not be so bad after all. Maybe it will be quick and we will have victory. If I kill a few people than I will also become a great knight. That would also risk me getting hurt or dieing right there. That can't be helped, oh well. I will have to go!
I have just been called by my father to come to his room to discuss the situation of marrying my father's ally's son. I am prepared to say what I have got to say and I think he will understand that is what I'll be hoping for. As I walk in my father is right next to the window and I can see that he is very excited I hope I don't put him down. Then I tell him what I think. "Father, I know that your alliance with that kingdom is very important to you and to everyone on the Kingdom , but I am not ready to marry that son you speck of !"
I tell him that if he makes a deal with me and his ally then I will marry that stranger, because that is what she is to me a stranger that I may not be able to love to truly love. This is my deal I want to be able to get to know this person and in a year I will decide if I'll get married or if I will not marry. I also want to live near you. No more than twenty-five minutes away from you for now that is the maximum that I am willing to sacrifice. I also will want to see you guys every weekend .
That sounded like a fair deal to my father, me and his ally. Now all we have to do is start to know each other and then get married if God is willing.
Life has been very hard for me, I just lost my mother and father and now I am stuck forever with this man known as Bear. Isn't that enough to wish you were dead, maybe that would feel better than this misery. The fat that I swore to God to be the servant or slave of this man is unbearable, but I don't want to be struck dead by God. That would just make me go down and I would live in misery the rest of my life. After all, maybe it won't be so bad. I mean at least I'll be feed, given shelter and a better chance for survival. I mean what more can I ask for?
I can also have advantages to this, I can travel to a very large city and even escape so that in a year and one day I can have my liberty and freedom. If this happens I will be lost but with a little bit of hope of having my freedom and not having to be owned by anybody. That can give me a chance and that is all I am hoping for. There is a problem I can't believe how that man is. He is so cruel, mean, and vicious. I am also very scared of him, but sometimes I just can't let him talk to me like that. He hurts my feelings nad makes my misery even worse.
I think I'll just have to live with it forever, unless I can seek for help or runaway, but then again that would mean risking not going to Heaven and with God. There are many choices I can make, but many bring me difficulties. What can I do, I am so lost and desperate for an answer. Sometimes though I think of Father Quinel, and I remember how he told me to take my own liberty and how how actually cared for me. For him I will keep my life.
It has been a very rough day for me, and I have just come back from working in the fields. Wow, that was tiring. I am just returning to my village, when I see a terrifying sight. As I stand at the top of the hill I smell something. I smell again to reassure my thoughts. I see my whole village in flames. What I dreamed to never have was what had just happened, as I see sails of fierce warriors. I knew one day they'd come, but I never thought it would be so quick!
I knew it was them.... it was the most fierocuis and daring group. It was the Vikings! They have come to steal and burn our village, but why? As I run to see what has happened I see almost all the houses have been burned and are now becoming ashes! I see so many people with sadness, anger, and revenge in their eyes. There are many people asking how could they be so mean, and how could they do something so cruel. Leave family without a home!
I also see that some people who tried to save their things are no longer with us. All of a sudden I think of my family and see that they are awaiting my return. I see them so sad and see that the whole village is full of sadness. This is what I tell my family," Don't worry we will survive but we must work hard enough to live again the calm lives we used to live!" With that I try to reassure them that everything is going to be fine, but not even I get comfort from those wise words. Inside me I know that it will never be the same again..... but we must recover and live our lives again.
Our once peaceful village will never be the same again, and we must face it. Though we will never forget the tragedy!!
Charlemagne was mainly know as" Charles the Great." He was a very good man that was later crowned by a pope as king. As the king of Europe, he united his people by converting them to Christianity. What he did was get land and help his people by telling them showing them the advantage of being a Christian. Like that he made hip people be Christians and made them far better persons. Charles the Great was a great leader for many reasons.
For one thing, he was a very nice and helpful king. He actually gained his peoples confidence by proving to them that he was not a mean and greedy king, but a king who actually wanted to help them by making them better people. Many people liked because of the new religion Christianity that was brought form Asia. He became king after his father's death.
They say he was the best ruler at that time, and he is still remembered today in many places.
This year I am going to change both mentally and physically, for my New Years Resolution. I want to be a better person, so I am going to be a better sister, daughter, friend, and student. I also want to be changed mentally, I want to think good things and not bad things. I want to also be a better thinker in school so that I can get good grades all this rest of this school year. So that is what I promised to do this year and I am really hoping that I will change from okay to good.
To be a better sister I am going to try do a lot of things that will be hard to do because they are natural between siblings. Many should know that it is not easy to fight with your siblings! It is either your older or younger siblings that make you mad, in my case both, but it is also because I am like that too. So I thought, that is going to change! So I am not going to fight with my sisters and brother. In an argument I will just have to make it their way or explain them throughly what I think so that we can agree. I think that will help a lot. I will also try to do nice things for them and not be selfish at all.
To be a better daughter I am going to not talk back to my mom. I will also not wait until she tells me something I will just do what I think she would like me to do. I will also follow my dad's directions without being twice. As a friend I will keep being the same way unless I need to because of a problem, but so far there aren't any.
As a student I am going to be more responsible and do better things. Hopefully all these things will work so that I can have peace all around me to enjoy life and my family without any problems. I also hope that it will change me for good! Happy late New Years!!!!!!
