Second Semester Reflection

Historical Fiction

      If I was to write a book about a certain time in history, I would choose to write about medieval times. It's the source of fairies and wizards, and all sorts of wonderful creatures. Although, my character likely would not encounter any sort of magical beings, it would be fun to place him in a similar setting. Besides, medieval history presents many opportunities for adventures. Even if dragons didn't run rampant, a knight could still rise to glory in a joust against a famed opponent or fight against an army for his King.  I would love for my character to encounter one of the legendary knights of the round table, or even King Arthur if he gets lucky. As long as he isn't struck down with the plague, he should be in for a good time.

    Man, that game was a bummer. It does give you an idea of 18th century daily life though. I find it a bit sad that, although I made it through all the trials of the game, I came out half-dead. You really can't win unless you're one shrewd street-urchin.
