A day in the life of Conan Arthur Caliber


 * Morning: I wake up at 6:00 in the morning and the first thing that I do is go to mass. My cabin is in the woods near the village but I don't own the land I live on so I need to pay taxes to the King. Church is an important part of midevil life. I would eat breakfast when I get back from mass. Usually it would be rabbit or deer. I had to hunt my own food to survive. I din't have any servants, so I had to prepare my own meals. I then sharpen my arrows and wax my bows to prepare for the day. Soon, at 8 a.m., I start my long walk to the castle where I am a guard in the guard tower.**
 * As I walk through the woods on my way to the castle, I hunt whatever I see. ( deer,rabbit,etc.) I can sell the meat in the village. When I get to the castle, I stand in the guard tower from 10:00 until 3:00. It is really hot because the sun is up and very strong.**


 * Afternoon: I go back to my cabin in the woods and eat stew for supper at 3:30. This is my big meal of the day. Then I would be called back to the castle for archery practice until 5 o'clock. I had practice every day so that we would be ready in case an invasion happened.**
 * Night: I go back to guard the castle until 8:00, when it gets dark. Finally, I would walk back to my cabin in the dark. I was tired and hungry. I would eat a snack and some ale and go to my straw bed to get a good night's sleep.**
 * I[[image:knighthood2012/king_Henry_II_england.jpg width="235" height="343"]] I wish I were a king because I would rule the entire kingdom. **

There are advantages to being a King in midevil times. When you are a king, you have many priveladges. The King had a lot of wealth and power. He owns the lands and lives in a giant, protected castle. He would have many servants to take care of him, entertain him, and protect him. The king wears a shiny crown with expensive jewels,and fancy robes.The king eats the best foods, which are all prepared for him by cooks. If your a good king, you are respected by everyone.

The disadvantages of being a King are that he had a lot of responsibilities that were stressful. He had to manage the land and taxes and all of the laws of the Kingdom. He had to deal with the outbreak of wars and had to plan crusades. Civil War was another problem and the King could lose his role as a King or even be killed. The King had to manage his family. This included all of the land, education, money, and make sure that everyone married other nobles so that they could own more land and have more power. Families would fight over the power and money and the King had to handle it.

Modern Day Character

Neil Armstrong was a famous astronaut for being the first man on the moon. Before this, he was served in the Navy and fought in the Korean War. To be in a war takes courage and training. This made me think of my archer because he had a lot of courage and determination, he works long days and wanted to become better at his goal. Neil Armstrong also had these qualities. No one else went to the moon before so Neil Armstrong had to be brave. He also had to train a lot to prepare for the mission. His accuracy was needed to land the spaceship correctly.

An archer needed accuracy to fire his arrow quickly and correctly. This took a lot of stregnth and training becaus ethey were heavy. His courage was needed to go into battle. His determination helped them to win the battle or the war.

Both Neil Armstrong and an archer probably liked their job and wanted to the best.
