270509 Notes on Monks and Peasants

Specifically, in the Dark ages, the greatest empire, Rome fell out of the society. As that proceeded, the continents divided and it was controlled by various types of people such as Barbarians. There were periods where they did nothing and they just had to work all day long. Most of the children died every time. At this time, there was sadness, crucial emotions, and people crying every time. Because of diseases, they were always dying every time so easily. For example, every 1 out of 2 children had to die because they were in a really unhealthy condition.

200509 Michael Suh Summary

In the Medieval Period, there is many things that you have to go through in order to be a good night. Also there were many ranks to what you can be. There were the common people where they took most of the population in the country. They were not the untouchables but they were still very low class and they were very dumb as well. Also, they were really good in other things, since that they took many land, not that they owned it, but they were really useful to the Britain. The Britain was smart enough to use those people much smarter and made a lot of help to the government, lords, knights, or what ever high class people that was there. For a knight, your coat of arms had many pictures, sometimes it could be just one but, they were combination. Also, they were in picture, only because they were people, which was the peasants, they could not read! Since that they could not read, the knights used a little bit of kindness for the peasants to know there profile much better. It was really hard for many of the peasants to read because they did not get any proper education, and there was not any people who was even smart enough to teach or learn. They basically lacked knowledge overall. Also, it was really hard to live in the Medieval Ages, so, they were always sick of very dirty people, so many people were like that they were really weird. They were really strong. Also, because of the peasants there was a lot of help to the country by making farms or trees that can make the country look much better. In comparison, they are one of the worst countries in the world because even as the time past, the society or the countries got worse. Even Rome was much better in buildings, or like that. It was much better for people.

My Coat of Arms Michael Suh 7F

My coat of arms have two different things that represents two main things. First of all, the red cross shows a very strong belief in the Christianity. Also, the color red represents the heart where it means that I believe in Christianity from the deepest part of my heart. Since that heart is located inside the body. The Grey lines represent the body and made the heart almost take everything of the body which made it a strong belief. The background of the red cross is colored in green. It means it is wide like a back yard of your house. The color, green represents the wide forest or the fields and tell that the knight’s mind is wide and able to think wisely in what ever situation. As you can see, the heart is located in the wide field, which means that both mind and heart is wide and able to think widely in whatever kind of situation. Secondly and Lastly, there is a anchor in the other half of the shield. First of all, since that anchor is very heavy, describing that the knight’s voice is heavy as well. Which means that, it is strong and very powerful. With a strong and heavy voice, everybody will be able to hear and follow that strong voice. I made the back ground with the light blue mixed with white which represented the sky. It is wide and flying over our heads, which represents that the knight is fast and light that will be an advantage for them in many ways in their life. Also, when I made the light blue be separated from the white clouds it means that he is not greedy, if he is greedy, that cloud would have been trying to get all the sky’s area as well, which will be a disadvantage in many ways. Therefore, the anchor and the background represent these things.
