A Day in the life of Gandolf the Gold

Morning

At 7:30AM Gandolf the Gold usually wakes up, he has some black bread he bought from Asher Beglar's bakery. About 8:00AM he takes a walk around the kingdom as long as it isn't raining. His walk is never peaceful because the local peasants always shout insults like: "look it's the crazy witch craft master" and "Thou thinks thee is a devil". Gandolf normally has to run as fast as he can before King Colman's knights capture him and he prays they never believe the peasants because if they do and they catch him he will be charged for witchcraft and burned alive. 8:30AM he tries to create and find the philosopher's stone. At 9:00AM he reads about info from other fellow alchemists. 9:45AM Gandolf tries to turn normal metal into gold. Around 11:30AM he goes to Sir Calvin (a wealthy knight with a lot of armor) to see if can turn his armor into gold.

Afternoon

At 12:30PM Gandolf the Gold arrives at Sir Calvin's castle. Sir Calvin always greets Gandolf with a hardy handshake and tasty expensive black bread and wine. 1:00PM Sir Calvin walks with Gandolf to his armor room. So far Gandolf's gold making serums had melted armor, turn armor into a weird green color, did nothing to the armor, and the last time Gandolf tried to turn armor into gold armor he turned it into bronze. This time he turned into silver. He was getting closer and closer. 1:45PM Sir Calvin gives Gandolf the Gold a ride home on his horse. The peasants don't shout insults because they fear knights power. 2:00PM is the one of the most important parts of the day.Gandolf the gold has to record the materials he used for the serum and the results of it. 3:00PM Gandolf goes outside his house and gives beggars wisdom. About 3:30PM he walks home and has porridge for lunch. At 4:00PM he makes some Elixirs of life for the poor and sick. 5:00PM Gandolf gives his Elixirs of life out for a small price and some times even free.

Night

Gandolf got his name for more than trying to turn metal into gold. He also got it by being a good astronomer. At 6:00PM Gandolf gets his paper ready to record and name some constellations. 7:00PM Gandolf cleans himself on a daily basis unlike every one else. 7:30PM he has roasted pig for supper. 8:30PM he changes into his night clothes. At 8:45PM Gandolf pours water onto a small brush and brushes his teeth. If only their was a chemical that helped clean your teeth he always thinks. Around 9:00PM Gandolf goes to bed.

I wish I were a Knight

The Advantages of an of an Alchemist are that they can make new medicines which can make money. They are also very smart.

But they have to pay knights rent, which was a lot in medieval times. The main problem was that when they tried to turn things into gold, it caused damage. Another problem was they had no or little friends.

I wish I were a Knight because they have everything. They get to give peasants shelter and in return they get money so they can get rich much faster than alchemists. Knights also get to participate in tournaments, which are very fun and they get to make the king happy. Some Knights also got to make their own coat of arms. They also get to customize their armor design and weapons, which can be very helpful.

The bad part is that they often die in battle. They also have to obey the code of chivalry, which often gets in the way for them during battle.

My Modern day Alchemist

There are many qualities of Gandolf the Gold. One is that he is very smart. Once a peasant was bleeding and he stopped it in only 10 minutes! He is also very giving. He always gives some of his money and maybe even his food to those less fortunate than him. Gandolf is also brave. When he was a young alchemist, a lord called him out to heal injured knights. Gandolf is also very cunning. Once a blacksmith named Shelton Smith accused Gandolf of practicing witch craft, and Gandolf dodged many knights, including Sir Jared the Great and Bo the Brave. Gandolf is full of life helping wisdom. A while back, King Flohomid Al Brosif asked for advice whether to declare war or not. Gandolf of coarse went to his aid immed iately. He told His Majesty Flohomid Al Brosif not to declare war. And because of Gandolf the Gold, London was saved.

My modern day alchemist is Steve Hawking. He is the smartest person alive. He has an IQ of 160 and is considered the best scientist since Einstein! Steve Hawking also has many interesting theories. He also believes that we may have some hydrogen in our bodies. He also suffers like Gandolf the Gold. Not because he is poor. But because has a sickness, Steve Hawking's disease means he can't move. He also enjoyed being outside like Gandolf. In college he always went outside. He also writes like Gandolf. He wrote __A Brief History of Time__ and __A Briefer History of Time__, which are both best sellers.

Gandolf the Gold is better than Steve Hawking because my character can turn metal into silver. Gandolf also discovered the secret to immortality. Steve may be the smarter one, but Gandolf lived in medieval times which was very fun. Gandolf also helped a king and saved London! He is also a very skilled doctor and saves many people's lives. Gandolf may not be very powerful but he is very happy. This is why Gandolf is better!
