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 the Middle Ages I think of dragons, long dresses, and maskarade masks. I don’t think I’ve read or watched any medieval stories o movies.

I think of big kingdoms and Knight. The movie Men in Tights is what I think of that is set during the Middle Ages. It’s also just a funny movie.

Cheyenne

That’s amazing I did t even think of that movie, and even if it’s not from the Middle Ages your right when you say is funny.

Destiny

10/21/2019 10:41:34 am

I also thought of Men in Tights!

Destiny

10/21/2019 10:39:41 am

I think of the renaissance era. Some stories that are set during the mideval era is is movies like Excalibur, Braveheart. Just to name a couple. A character was Joan of Arc.

Brooke

10/21/2019 10:42:45 am

Braveheart is a good movie for the Middle Ages.

Cheyenne

10/21/2019 10:43:21 am

Braveheart is a great movie, I didn’t think of this one either, not sure if it’s Middle Ages though, it might be.

Leonitus was the greatest of them all.

Jacob

10/21/2019 10:44:05 am

That’s a good movie.

Cole

10/21/2019 10:39:55 am

When I think of medieval era I think of people jousting on horses and shooting arrows at each other. Monty Python was filmed to be in the Medeival Era.

Wylie

10/21/2019 10:41:22 am

Nice

Cody

10/21/2019 10:42:55 am

Sounds cool

Riley

10/21/2019 10:40:01 am

Fantastical stories of dragons, archers and mighty knights all come to mind for me. Diseases running rampant also come to mind. Romeo and Juliet always comes to mind.

Dylan

10/21/2019 10:41:22 am

I also think of dragons and archers.

Owen

10/21/2019 10:43:06 am

I never thought of diseases before during the Middle Ages.

Destiny

10/21/2019 10:44:00 am

I agree 100%

Wylie

10/21/2019 10:40:06 am

Caleb C

What kind of accents comes to mind for you? Very interesting

Tamryn

10/21/2019 10:43:01 am

I didn’t even thinking about the accents they used to have. That’s a good one.

Owen

10/21/2019 10:43:43 am

I also think of swords back then.

Your sword is all mighty and powerful.

Paul

10/21/2019 10:40:16 am

I think about Iron Age and castles. Robin Hood and knights and dragons

10/21/2019 10:41:56 am

Noice period Paul

Caleb C

10/21/2019 10:44:15 am

I agree that knights and dragons are some of the first things to come to mind when I think Mideval Age

Dylan

10/21/2019 10:40:22 am

I think off the time when there was no cars the only way of travel were horses and boats. I also think of war and battles. The movie I think off is 300 with the Spartans.

Dakota

10/21/2019 10:48:11 am

I didn’t think about that

Loon

10/21/2019 10:40:40 am

What comes to mind is like kings, queens, peasants, and the plague. One movie that is set is the game of throne series.

Taelyn

10/21/2019 10:43:11 am

Very nice.

Cole

10/21/2019 10:43:21 am

Do you like the game of thrones?

Sydnee

10/21/2019 10:44:28 am

That’s a good show.

Taelyn

10/21/2019 10:41:05 am

When I think of the Middle Ages I think of queens and kings. One of the movies that represents the medieval ages is Disney’s Brave.

Charlie

10/21/2019 10:41:17 am

When I hear of the Middle Ages, I think of knights, plague, witches on fire, and sword fighting. Monty Python and the Quest for the Holy Grail and King Arthur.

Dylan

10/21/2019 10:42:28 am

Great movie and story they are good choices.

Caleb C

10/21/2019 10:41:29 am

When I think of the Middle Ages I think of knights fighting with large kingdoms with walls and structures made of stone. I think of kings and queens decorated with gold and jewels. I think of war with things like catapaults and flaming arrows. Robin Hood and Hansel and grettle are 2 stories set in this time.

Tamryn

10/21/2019 10:41:39 am

I think of sword fights, long dresses, castles and dragons. The movie I think of is Men in Tights.

Sydnee

10/21/2019 10:45:02 am

Never seen that movie.

Dakota

10/21/2019 10:47:40 am

Sounds like an interesting movie

Owen

10/21/2019 10:41:50 am

I think of tar and feathering. The story about the Black Plague.

Riley

10/21/2019 10:42:50 am

The torture methods stayed relevant for such a long time.

Jacob

10/21/2019 10:43:01 am

When I hear about those times I think of a few things. I mainly think of like knights and old castles and battles and stuff like that. A movie that I think of is Men in Tights when thinking of a movie.

Kelton

10/21/2019 10:46:20 am

I like castles.

Sydnee

10/21/2019 10:43:16 am

A knight in shining armor comes to mind. A movie that was placed into the midevil times is braveheart.

Tyrell Wortley

What comes to mind for me when it comes to the Middle Ages is a knight fighting a giant snail or iconic European Dragon along with the civil war amongst the people of the Holy Roman Empire. With one of these fights possibly caused over a bucket. This is funny thing is what I think about when talking about the Middle Ages.

One movie that undoubtedly involves stuff like this is Game of Thrones. I don’t particularly watch it, but have heard some details on it, and the things that occurred during the Middle Ages (and even Beowulf potentially) are told in the bloody truth of Game of Thrones. Not even The Legend of Zelda games tell all of those truths.

Kyle Wilson

When I think about the medical ages I try to images how it really was because I don’t think it was a lot of knights in shining armor kinds of things more along the lines of lots of death, murder and plagues. I believe that their is loyalty to be truthful their is most likely more loyalty back then, than their is today in our era. A movie that has a character from the mid-evil era is King Arthur from Excalibur.

Kelton

10/21/2019 10:46:01 am

Knights and kingdoms come to mind. I don’t know any movies.

Dakota

10/21/2019 10:47:17 am

What comes to my mind when I hear Middle Ages is wat lots and lots of war. One that I know of would be Game of Thrones.
