Daily Literary Quote
“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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
