Women in the middle ages

             While a few women lived somewhat comfortable lives they still faced hardships due to the fact that in that particular time period men were at the top of the social class. Women would have lesser payment then men. In addition what most women would hope for during that age was to become a servant for the rich. Also in that society what the man says goes. Women who had a rich family would marry early while the poor had married when they were older. And it's known that women who were poor didn't live past the age of 40. So in conclusion, the lives of women during the middle ages were hard and treacherous.

Letter from Grant

To whom it may concern,

After Miss Emma had Left Jefferson had admitted that he only ate the food out of wanting to be nice. Now he's back to acting like a hog, although it was the jury who accused him of acting like one.
Now the problem is I really have no idea how to deal with the situation. I've tried talking to Jefferson but that lead to nothing. I also tried to convince him that he shouldn't listen to the jury, but he insisted on continuing to act like a hog.

It wasn't all his fault, after all he was convicted of a crime he didn't commit and he's facing the death penalty.
After watching Jefferson I can only assume that one of the only reasons he's acting this way is that he wanted to make the jury feel bad in a sense. And for him the best way was to degrade himself to an animal. And once again I've tried numerous times to get him to act human but it's been to no avail. So I ask if there is any type of advice you can give me to help Jefferson in the little time he has left it'll be greatly appreciated.

Blog post assignment 8

I have no idea." He stared at me, and I realized that I had not answered him in the proper manner. "Sir," I added.
This quote does relate to a theme, and it is to show respect. In this quote it shows that he didn't answer the correct way making it disrespectful.

And this quote also creates conflict, due to the amount of disrespect he's showing.

Blog post assignment 7

8. Have you ever wanted a person dead? To be completely honest there are a lot of people I want dead! There are those in school and in everyday life. However i am a neutral party so I won't do anything unless they fire the first shot. But if I really wanted to I would really appreciate it if every single person who ever crossed me would die and I mean it from the bottom of my heart. 
Derrick Dickerson question.


10. Have you ever witnessed a death? If so, how did it make you feel? In my life I've seen a lot of death, but if I were to name one I would choose an old classmate. She was the stuck up type and would really get under your skin. But she later took her own life and I saw it all happened. How I felt afterwards was both nothing due to everything I've been through, and a sense of relief because that's one more piece of trash removed.

Justin ward question 

5. How would you feel if you were in Kiens situation, in the middle of war seeing people get killed and hearing them scream in agony and dying? In my personal opinion I would feel both happy and excited. To me a war is like a type of game and it's my own personal desire to join the army and go into war and kill people.
Alexandria Flemming question 

2. How do you think being on a MIA team would affect a person? It would affect them because they would be unable to find the people they are looking for and in turn make them miserable 
Maurice spelton-poe question.

Blog post assignment 5

I feel that parents put too much pressure on their children. The reason I say that is because the moment their children start school it's nothing but hard work.

Parents and children have emotional and physical conflicts.

People can be anything they want to be as long as they try.  This doesn't apply to everyone because they don't live up to their potential.

In my opinion not all conflicts have a winner. I say that because when there's a conflict the person who starts it and the person who ends it doesn't win in the end.
