6:00: I start my day by putting on a clean shirt and going to church. I see the king there and I try to sit somewhere close to him. We shake hands and I say hello to him.7:00: Mass is done now so I head home.8:00: I get home and open my chest full of weapons. I get out my bow-and-arrow and I get my fishing pole and I go out to the forest to go hunting and fishing for my breakfast. Then I go to the baker to get some bread.8:45: I get my horse Hector and give him some wheat. Then we go take a walk. 9:13: We go to the blacksmith to see if my armor and weapons are fixed. 9:30: I go back to my room and start to draw another great drawing. 9:50: When I finish my drawing I go to the manor to sell my drawing. 10:00: I get my armor on and get my sword and ride Hector to the forest. 10:30: I get to the forest and wait for Sir Beau the Great to come so we can sword fight. 10:45: When he gets here, we sword fight for a little bit. I won the first and second rounds of sword fighting but lost the third. Then we shake hands and leave. 11:15: I feel tired so I take a nap. =====

= **__ AFTER NOON __** =

12:00: After my nap I'm a little bit hungry so I call my falcon (Who's name is Fredrick) to send a message my to friend in Italy, Drago Vittorio to send back some Italian food (Did you know that Drago gave me my falcon for my 16th birthday?). 12:15: It might be a long time before my falcon gets back so I'll eat some that I preserved with salt a while ago. 12:20:  It's almost time for the weekly joust. I get my armor on and I ride Hector to town. 12:30: It's my turn and I've been watching the opponents techniques and I'm confident that I'll win. 12:35: I won the joust! I ride Hector to my parents house in the village to tell them that I won. 12:40: I get there and my mom Cindy, dad Sir Robert the Brave, and my two brothers and three sistersgive me a big welcome. My mom made me some mutton(lamb leg) and a flagon of ale. After the food I tell them about what I've been doing. 1:50: I feel tired again so I take another nap. 3:00: I ask my squire Henry who just got back from his training to get my mail. When I read my mail I see a letter from my cousin Sir Timothy the fearless. I don't usually get letters from him. I write a letter to him and tell Henry to send it to him. 3:45: I ride Hector to the training grounds and start training. 4:00: Training can be intense. You have to practice your skills with swords, maces and flails, single and double-headed battle axes, that stuff. you also have to practice attacking and defending skills. I see some of my friends that graduated with me at Knighthood University. Their names are Sir Charles the fast, Sir Fredrick the Brave, and Sir Henry the Strong. I go over to them and I say hello to them."Where have you guys been and what have you been doing?" I ask them. After they answer me they ask me the same questions. Then we talk about other stuff. 5:00: I leave and I ride Hector to a prairie. I let him frolic for a bit. He knows to stay where I can see him. He likes this.

6:00: It's starting to get dark so I ride Hector to the training grounds. It takes a while but I finaly get there.7:00: It's dark now so I start my training. I train with various types of weapons like swords, battle axes, and others.8:00: I'm tired so I hed home. I get there and eat some food for dinner, say a short prayer then go to bed. 9:00: I wake up to the sound of a bell. People are invading the castle! I get on my special extra padded leather armor and get my sword and shield and get on Hector and charge into battle! It's good that I train at night because this doesn't happen often. I see my dad, my bro's, and some of my friends (Sir Charles, Sir Fredrick and Sir Henry). I meet up with them and we form a plan. While my friends distract some of them, me, my dad, and my brothers kill them.10:00: The battle is finally over. We shake hands and we head home. I take off my armor and put on a shirt then go to bed.10:20: ZZZZZZZZ.......

= = = __ I am a Knight __ = = = Being a knight can be exciting. I have rights and advantages that let me to do more things than other people in lower classes. For example, I may live in the castle and to meet the king. I also get to joust in tournaments. I have a squire to help me with my stuff.

Being a knight also has disadvantages and a lot of responsibilities. Here is a list of a few of them: If I lie, I die.I have to train a lot every day.I could be killed during jousting.I could be killed in battle/ war.If I'm at war, my family might get hungry and maybe starve. So even though being a knight can be advantageous, it can also be **dis**advantageous.

= __ **I wish I were a Blacksmith** __ = I wish I were a blacksmith because I think it would be cool. They good rights and advantages like a knight. Here is a list of a few of them:They can make their own custom armor and weapons.They can sometimes go into battle.They are allowed to hunt.Their better than a regular peasant but their still in the peasant class.They get well paid.

Even though being a blacksmith can be cool there are also not so cool things. Here are some disadvantages and responsibilities of a blacksmith:It can get hot working in a forge.They had to make/ fix weapons/ armor for people and themselves.They can get burnt.They could get ashes in their eyes.They could get blisters.So being a blacksmith can be good and bad at times.

= __** Modern day Knight **__ =

My knight is **strong, fearless, brave, athletic, kind, fast, intelligent, courageous, funny, artistic, fun to be around, and very creative**. In battle or war I'm usually the leader of a small group that consists of mainly 5 to 10 other knights. I think my creativity is usually why we win battles.

My modern day Knight is Robert Thomas Wirt aka my grandfather (who is still alive.). I chose him because he is a Delaware State Police Trooper and because he is my grandfather. When he was younger he was **athletic**, he is **strong**, very **brave**, **humorous**, **friendly**, **courageous**, **smart**, and **fearless**. He is like my knight because he was also the leader of a group (He was actually a sergeant). He is also like my knight because he protected the state.

// Sir Thomas the Creative V S Robert Thomas Wirt //
My knight is better than Robert Thomas Wirt because Sir Thomas once saved my kings life from a blazing inferno with only a minor blister. My grandfather once chased robbers away and was in a speed chase going up to 100mph.! So actually I think that we are actually 50-50.
