“In the Middle Ages, cathendrals and convents burned like tinder; imagining a medieval story without a fire is like imagining a World War II movie in the Pacific without a fighter plane shot down in flames.”

When I think of Middle Ages I think of mead and the video game Skyrim. Skyrim is isn’t a story or film but it’s a video game that is based around the Middle Ages. One can fight dragons, plunder villages, and drink as much mead as your coin purse can buy.

Kayla

10/24/2018 10:07:09 am

There definitely was a lot of fighting

Will

10/24/2018 10:07:15 am

Have you every drank mead

Kayla

10/24/2018 10:05:54 am

When I think Midieval I think of manners and how proper they were. I can’t think of any movies or stories off the top of my head.

kayka

But at the same the same time there was a lot of fighting

Aimee

10/24/2018 10:06:25 am

Things like castles, knights, and dragons come to mind. A movie that I think of is the Disney film, Sword in the Stone.

Nate

10/24/2018 10:07:02 am

True, Aimee

Hailey jo

I think of dragons too because they seem to be in a lot of middle age based movies.

Brandon Westfall

Great movie

With Middle Ages, I usually imagine knight, swords and traditional armor, and war. I also tend to think of fantasy stories because they often are set in a time line where technology is more simple than modern day inventions. Some books I’ve read that are set in medieval ages would be Eragon, and a book I’m reading now called Malice is set in a medieval themed world.

Cherish

I hadn’t thought of the Eragon series before you mentioned it. They were most certainly set in the Middle Ages.

Sarah

10/24/2018 10:19:58 am

Yeah I think specifically of their swords when I think of medieval war

Hailey Jo

10/24/2018 10:06:31 am

I think of movies like Robin Hood, Sword in the Stone, or A Knights Tale. The Middle Ages makes me think of kings, and knights. I think of nobel quests like in Shrek.

Kayla

10/24/2018 10:07:33 am

Robin Hood is a good one

Katelyn

10/24/2018 10:09:56 am

Sword in the stone is one of my favorites.

Kelsey

10/24/2018 10:11:54 am

I never thought about Shrek

Kiana Farnworth

10/24/2018 10:13:01 am

I love the examples that you provided.

Will

10/24/2018 10:06:39 am

What comes to my mind when I think about the medieval age are nights, swords, brutal deaths, and people going on a quest.

Nutt

10/24/2018 10:11:21 am

Your statement sounds accurate.

Konner

10/24/2018 10:14:23 am

Swords ⚔️ is a good one

Konner

10/24/2018 10:06:49 am

Dark times is the first on mind. Holy grail.

Jennifer

10/24/2018 10:09:09 am

Nice.

Nick

10/24/2018 10:10:28 am

Nice

Jennifer

When I think back to the Middle Ages I think of the plague. Back when the plague had hit again it wiped out quite a large sum of people. I can’t recall any stories or movies well enough to use as an example.

Hailey jo

10/24/2018 10:08:10 am

The Disney movie Brave is a good example

Nick heble

10/24/2018 10:06:56 am

Robyn

Yeah me too

Saymen

The only thing that comes to my mind about the Middle Ages are the knights and the Pope.

Aimee

10/24/2018 10:10:49 am

I never thought about the pope.

Kelsey

10/24/2018 10:14:14 am

Same😂

Alexis Anderson

10/24/2018 10:14:45 am

The Pope is a good example.

Robyn

10/24/2018 10:07:15 am

A story set during the medevil era would be the Hobbit. When I think about the Medival era I think of knights and kings and queens.

Cherish

10/24/2018 10:11:34 am

The Hobbit is a great example of the Middle Ages.

Sarah

10/24/2018 10:18:10 am

The Hobbit is an awesome book

Kiana Farnworth

10/24/2018 10:07:40 am

When I think of Medieval times I think of Monarchy. Some shows that enjoy based in that time period are The Last Kingdom and Vikings.

Cherish

What comes to mind when I think of the Middle Ages is knights and kings and other forms of nobility. The first movie that came to my mind was Bravehart. Some other ones that I have thought of are Quest for the Holy Grail and King Arthur.

Katelyn

10/24/2018 10:11:42 am

There always seems to be a theme of guests and adventures when it sets a medieval tone to the story.

When I think of the Middle Ages I think of knights castles and stuff like that. Some movies are kingdom of heaven, braveheart, monty python quest for the holy grail.

Nutt

10/24/2018 10:12:06 am

Monty Python is the best.

Kelsey

10/24/2018 10:09:45 am

Nothing really comes to mind when I hunk of the Middle Ages. I think game of thrones.

Kelsey

10/24/2018 10:11:05 am

Think*

Alexis Anderson

When I think of Middle Ages I think of kings, queens and peasants. I was going to use the Netflix series ‘Reign’ but it is set 100 year after the Middle Ages.

Kiana Farnworth

10/24/2018 10:14:39 am

Reign came to mind for me as well.

James

10/24/2018 10:11:11 am

I think of knights and folklore such as King Arthur. Merlin and Braveheart are set in medieval times.

Connor

10/24/2018 10:12:27 am

Fascinating braveheary is a good one.

Brandon Westfall

10/24/2018 10:12:40 am

When I think or the Medieval era I think of knights, kings, and Christianity. Two movies that come to mind are Monty Python and the Holy Grail and The Lord Of The Rings

Sarah

10/24/2018 10:16:17 am

Books I've read come to mind when I think of the middle ages. Another thing is the market places that you see in movies and knights. The Huntsman Winters Was, Brave, and Red Riding Hood.
