I chose to be a knight because I have always been interested in them and I want to know what knights did besides joust and fight.

__ About my Knight __

Occupation (job):to protect the castle from any enemy when they are trying to attack and trying to take over other castles Most of all leading our kingdom to win in war

=**A Day in the life of Sir Beau the Brave**= =**MORNING**= =AFTERNOON=
 * 5:30am** **I wake up and go to see Shelton Smith so he can sharpen my swords and other weapons; my favorite weapon is my sword with my name engraved.**
 * 6:30am I eat a breakfast of wheat.**
 * 7:00am I play gameball with Sir Jared the Great,Sir Paul Rabil the Mighty,Sir John the Great,and Sir Bo the Brave.**
 * 8:00am I go back to the castle and see if the king has any duties for me; he doesn't have a lot.**
 * 9:00am I joust at the battlefield behind the castle.**
 * 10:45am I joust with Sir Thomas the Great**
 * 11:20am I lead the parade through cities to promote jousting.**
 * 12:00pm I go to church with the king.**
 * 1:00pm I go hunt for my lunch in the forest.**
 * 1:50pm I eat a lunch of bread and the meat I got when I was hunting.**
 * 3:00pm I practice sneak atacks with dummies in the battlefield.**
 * 4:00pm I have a sword duel with Prince McGrath; he is too quick and dodges**
 * every swing and then wins.**

=**NIGHT**=
 * 5:30pm I have a large feast with the king and lords; we have pig roast,chickens and a lot of fruits and vegetables.**
 * 8:00pm go to party with jesters, musicians,dancers,and acrobats.**
 * 10:00pm I say some short prayers and finally go to bed.**

= **I wish I were a king** = **Being a knight is a really fun job. There is a lot of good things I get to do a lot of fun things including jousting, protecting the king and go to feast with the king and lord. I also get to do jousting tournaments to entertain the king and represent my family. I also get to sword duel with Prince McGrath,other princes and some times fellow knights if we don't feel like jousting. I also am important enough to help lead parades through the city of London.**

**Sadly there are also some disadvantages to being a knight; like having to risk their lives everyday to protect the king,castle and church. They have a very hard and long life. Also they usually did not live after being hurt in war because they usually got killed when they tried to go of the battle field.** **Even when they get off the battle field they don't have a good enough medical care for me and fellow knights.**

**Kings are a very good role to be because they get the most things including shoes, crowns,food, and a lot of respect. Kings don't have to risk their lives every day like knights and archers. They do not have to travel to a lot of diffrent kingdoms to try to take them over. Also when a king got hurt everyone would try to save him as hard as they could.He gets to lead the knights and other warriors into battle.**

**Kings also have some disadvantages because they don't get to joust or sword duel. Sometimes if they had a very fierce rival that tries to target the king to bring despair because if the king is dead. When the king gets targeted he doesn't always get killed because they almost always have some other people guarding them.****The worst part about being a king would be getting blamed for bad things that happened including losing in war.**

= = = My Modern Day Knight is Desean Jackson =

My knight is very strong. He also is very smart and has quick reflexes.Most of all my knight is chivalrous and brave. He is loyal and is very honest. My knight is also extremely fast and athletic. Knights always had to be perpared to do their job at all times.

My modern day knight is Desean Jackson. He also has all the qualities that my knight has,including good sportsmanship and fair play. He is also very active in the community. He is involved in helping fight against childhood obesity and has written a book series hepling to guide children in life. Desean thanks his older brothers and father for helping him be the man he has become.

My knight is better than Desean Jackson because he risks his life everyday to protect the kingdom and the people that live in it. He is very close to the king who is very important and only the best people in the kingdom get to spend time with the king. Also Desean just plays football for money,fame and fun. My knights fights in wars to protect the church,king, and castle.
