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

When I think of the middle ages I think of plague, death, knights, and in my opinion the best era of history ever. I think of monty python and the holy grail.

When I think about the middle ages i think of knights in a bar getting sauced with the lads. A movie I've seen set in the middle ages was "The Outlaw King"about a dude named Robert the Bruce its a fire movie but how is he Robert if his name if Bruce.

When I think of the Middle Ages, I think of knights and castles. I think of how life was harsh back then and completley different from todays world.

Dason

10/16/2023 11:29:00 am

I didn't think about the quality of life back then.

When I think of the Middle Age I think of torturing, castles, knights, and kings. Shrek, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, and Brave are all movies set in the Medieval Era.

I think of Swords, spears, shields, castles, dragons and catapults. There is the story of St. Patrick and how he forced all of the snakes from Ireland, there is the story of Count Dracula the Vampire, and werewolf's, I think of Monty Python and the Holy Grail. I think of alchemy and magic and the story of Merlin.

When I think of the Middle Ages I think of Kings, Queens and Pilgrims. Castles and Blacksmiths. A lot of story tellers and Song writers. When I think of middle age movies I think of Hercules, Robin Hood, and King Arthur.

Laityn
