Living in the Middle Ages
Each of you had a person from the middle ages that you researched. Tell me three differences in the way that they lived as opposed to how you live today. No matter what time period in which we live we are all people--tell me three things that we might find the same whether we lived in the middle ages or today.

I did serfs for my book and they are just like homeless people. The differences they had was there were a lot more serfs back then then there are homeless people now, there are more services for homeless people like a shelter and pleges, they get treated like crap from wealthy people and serfs didnt get really talked to and understood.
well we get to drive in cars and take like 10 mins while in the middle they had to leave like 10 days before. Well also get 2 take a shower everyday while they had one every month. And we get to talk 2 people over the phone which is like 2 seconds to get them that but they had to write letters which took days. The way we live in commom is we both have 3 meals a day and we all have jewerly and we still get a good education.
Popes do still exist today, so there is no point in relating them to someone else today.
Pope- 1. In the middle ages, the pope shaved only the top of their heads, to represent the crown that Jesus wore during the crucifixion. Today, the pope shaves their whole head.
2. In the middle ages, christians and catholics went to the same church, and the pope was the leader of it. Today, there is a catholic church, and there is a christian church. The pope is only the leader of the catholic church.
3. The pope today, runs pretty much on the same schedule. They pray everyday. And they preach to the church. And they give donations to the community.
Serfs where not respected at all they was just there to the work that nobody wanted to do. Serfs did have any money and were lucky to have a house. Today a serf would be a hobbo. Hobbo's are really resected they are people that poeple look at funny because they live on the steert. Some of them have jobs but they are not very good beacuse nobody would give me a job. Knights were rrespected they were the one who fought all that battles when they was under atack. Today a knight would be in the Navy, Army, Airfore, OR Marinies.they are a like beacuse the armys and stuff are respected for fighting the war. A Mummer was a person who dressed up in animal masked and entertained people. Today they can be found in the circus. They are respected more now beacuse people pay to watch them.
the searf would be a home liss person and a king would be a presdent.
Alchemist-lab reasearcher. Back then alchemist were treated poorly and didn't get any thing. But now they are treated with a lot of repect and they get paid
King/Queen-Government-President/First Lady. Nothing has really changed because the king and queen were the highest in command and i don't think they were paid but now they get paid and still are highest in command.
sewer-presidents cook-sewer must have been treated with respect because he was the bestg cook and worked in the castle so he got paid a lot. Now the get as much respect as the next person if anything the respect went down but just a little.
i did a squire and i found out that he would be like a middle class person like most people today.
they would have had alot more money than most people today.
they couldnt take showers everyday like we can. in fact people only took showers once a year.
Knights back then are like Soldiers we have now except we have a lot more weapons that are probably a lot more powerful then the ones they had back then. The Knights were a lot more richer back then then they are now. They were more expected back then then they are now.
Apothecarys back then are like people who work in Pharmacys except now you can get a lot more medication. Pharmicists were well respected and made more money then a Apothecary made
Lady- I would not wont to be married at 14 to a 35 year old. I would not wont to leave my family and move in with a stranger. I would like the food and feasts, the nice dresses, and the big castels.
The Monks ate differently in the middle ages then they do today
The Monks work in the church like they did on the middle ages
The Jester only worked and entertaned the King.
The"clown" works for the public
I researched the falconer and what is diffrent from a falconers life is they didnt have a house all the time and some times slept in the birds cages becauese they didnt have houses and they didnt get to go places all they did where there jobs. The falconers also got to meet the highest person on the social ladder there king. Things that where the same is they still got to go to school and they had to learn to do there there jobs and they taught other poeple.
three things today that are different than the middle ages are:
**You can come home and watch cable t.v.
**You can live with your family forever
**You can go to pizza hut after school
a noble back in the middle ages was one of the most top people that they were under the king and queen they were like knights they had honor like a knight.
they were patr of the court the court was a thing to do with highhonor respect from the king andthe queen.
they lived back in the day as high honor place in the best house and were friends with the king and queen.
they had the finest jewelry and dress and clothes.
they had times in the moring that they would take bath more then the common people the king would take a bath once every week and so would the nobles.
DIFFERENCES-
1. Apprentices were given to a mastercraftsman to learn the skills the needed when they were only 8 years old. Today Manufactuers go to college when the are at least 18 and then after 4 years they can begin their job.
2. Apprenticces had to go to learn for 7 years where as Manufactuers only had to go for 4 years.
3. Manufactuers are treated fairly and they get lunch breaks and stuff. Apprentices were beaten and sometimes had to go with out food whenever they failed a task.
ALIKES
1. They both served the same purppose.
2. They both had to take courses to learn how to preform there job correctly.
3. They both were very talented with their handds. The manufactuers have to move the controls very fast and the apprentices had to make everything by hand.
I looked at a minstril and they woould play every day but I don't play all the time on an instremnt. They would sleep in small houses and I sleep ina big house in my own room. The minstril would not play a lot of games but me I play hide in go seek and tag and more. They would play in parades and I play in them too with my french horn. We both play instremnts for fun.
I had a lady and she was a knights wife and she would have to look after the household accounts and she had to do the sewing with the ladies in waiting and she would often entertain the guest. The lord's wife would always look after the manor. She would look after the land. Right now today and we would have to learn how to sit like a lady and we would have to learn how to look like a lady and how would have to learn how to act like a lady.
I did a king. Every day i jump in the tower, and he takes baths but not everyday. I watch TV everyday and they did not have TV's back then. I play all day the king could not do.We all payed taxes, we all fight for peace, and we all take baths.
an ordinary person in the middle ages
different: today when we wake up in the morning, we can take a shower and put on nice, designer clothing and girls can put on there make up adn straiten there hair but in the middle ages they cant do that. and when our clothes get dirty we can just change our clothes and put the other ones in the washing machine but in the middle ages they dont have washing machines and they dont own a bunch of different pairs of pants or shirts. also, after sschool we can go to the mall and go shopping or go out to aet with our friends. or, if we play a sport we get to go to practices after school and go to games or cheerelading competitions but people in the middle ages cant do that because they have to learn there skills to do there job when they get older.
alike: things that are alike with the way we live now and the way they lived in the middle ages are that we have to have training for are jobs liek they do, but we dont have to start doing that untill were older but we still train for the jobs. another thing thats the same is that they had knights to fight and we had soldiers to fight for our country and soldiers an dknight swere the same.
Nuns
Differences
1.The church gave the nuns land to live on and now the church doesn't give the nuns land.
2. And nuns have money that dosen't belong to the church and back then the church had the money and the nuns didn't have money or if they did they didn't have much money.
3. Back then they only had 1 meal a day in the winter and in the summer they only had 2 meals and now the nuns have more than 2 meals a day.
1. People go to church.
2. People had/have jobs.
3. We have cloths.
1.back then they didn't have cars now we do.
2.today we have clothes and back then they had clothes but not like ours.
3.back then if you went on the kings land you would get hung and now you will only go to jail.
in the middle ages they didn't have tv's or cars instead they had horses and since people like peasants and serf basically had no time to rest exept for when they went to bed they didn't have anything for entertainment liken tv's and because of that going on a vacation to florida would be almost impossible. Also they didn't have electricity
well like the laws and stuff are pretty much the same.the cloths are different because they only had like ripped cloth to protect there unmanchabels. and like if you are on deaththingy they tourture you first and then once there is nothing to chop off next they kill you well here they just kill yu it is much better this way.
THEY HAD JOUSTING tournaments back than,they had catipults and big woden weapons and they didnt have ferneses and and running water and other things like that. but they had castles and weapons that where 40 feet tall that where not even close to the weapons that will reach 60 miles but back than there would be lucky to reach 60 feet.
1.now we clothes that are style and back then they had clothes that were plain and not style.
2.back then if you went on the kings land you woul get hung and now you will only go to jail.
3.back then there were slaves but now there are butlers and maids.
Peasants worked all day. Work people worked all day. they pay taxes work people pay taxes. Peasants get up early and people who work get up early to go to work. Kings get payed lots of money and the president gets payed lots of money kings were respected presidents are respected. When kings die there son takes over with the president they have to retire after 4 to 8 years.
back then they had a kinight and something that relates to a knight today today is a president senator governor vice president.
1. Kings wife (queen) Had to have a boy or they sometimes kill them but now they don't have to have boys.
2. We get take showers every day and they get to like once or twice a year.
3. We get to drive in cars to get to other places and they had to use wagons.
they didn't have cars
they had clothes but they weren't as comfortable
If you hunted on a nobles land and you got caught then you could be hung. Now if you hunted on someones land the worst you would get is hung.
Ladies had to sit and do embroidery all day. Now we can do any thing with our free time.
Bisops could basicly controll the whole kingdom if they felt like it because the churches were so powerfull.
They had different clothes--theirs were like drapes and ours fit to our body. They didn't have cars--they had horse and buggies--back then it took a lot more time to get from one place to another place.
back in the middle ages and how we live today we all have laws that has to be fallowed back in the middle ages you might get your head cut off in were we live today if you dont fallow a law it a ticket, jail, even getting hung. In both places you would have to fallow laws. In the middle ages they had 30 rules they had to fallow in order to be able to eat.
