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.” Umberto Eco Journal Prompt What comes to mind when you think about the Middle Ages? What are some stories or movies that are set during or have characters from the Medieval Era?

I think of knights, armor, the crusades, and fairytales. Also stone castles. A story that comes to mind is Kind Arthur and the round table.

I think about knights and and kings. Always at war and always having death. It’s like a game of thrones always evolving. Also a tall bearded fella always casting spells

When I think of the Middle Ages, I think of awful medical practices that kill more people than they help. I also think of knights and peasants and small farming villages. I believe that the Lord of the Rings movies are based in the Middle Ages or have elements of the Middle Ages.

You need to punctuate a sentence correctly, this is a senior English class.

The Middle Ages has a lot of poor people that were ruled by courageous kings and queens who lives in large stone castle. There were a lot of strong knights who bravely fought in large battles. A movie that come to mind is Monty Python.

Yeah when I think of it I also think of a lot of poor people.

When I think of the medieval ages I think of Knightsbridge shining armor, or Queens and Kings. I also think of the battles. Some movies that are from this time period are Shrek or A knights Tale.
Jessie Hiatt

Darian

Knights, princesses, kings, castles. Shrek

Shrek is a good example.

When I think of the Middle Ages I imagine Kings, Queens, and knights in shining armor. Some films based on this would be the Lord of the Rings series. Another good film set in these times is Monty Python and the Holy Grail.
Treygan Bragg

These movies give very accurate representations

I thought the same thing.
Paige
11/18/2020 10:42:11 am
I think about the way the dressed and how differently they treated women. There’s not a movie I can think of because I don’t watch shows like that.
Jaicei
11/18/2020 10:49:35 am
They really did treat women like trash.

When I think of the Middle Ages I think about knights and princesses. A good example of this is the Princes Bride. This movie has a lot of characteristics from the Middle Ages.

The Princess Bride is a very good movie and a good example.

When I think of the Middle Ages I think of the Renaissance or a Renaissance fair. I don’t know any stories or characters from the Medieval era, but I would assume they had knights and princesses. The plague was very popular during this time as well.
Jaicei
11/18/2020 10:48:41 am
Not you forgetting about Shrek.
Jaicei

When I think of the Middle Ages, I think of kings, queens, castles, and knights. I also think of the plague and peasants. I know the story of King Arthur is set in the Middle Ages.
Tierryn

Not you describing the plot of Shrek without giving my main man a shoutout 🙄
