Charles Henry’s Reviews > Good Masters! Sweet Ladies! Voices from a Medieval Village > Status Update

I have just finished GM,SL. This is was a great book and I highly recommend this book. I liked it because their was a different passage for each character.

I have just read Drogo. Drogo is in love with Nelly. He is Middle Class and The Tanner's Apprentice. He is in love, unsure, and gentle. He is in love with Nelly,The Sniggler. He is unsure if he likes his job or not. Finally, he is gentle. He is gentle because he doesn't like how people say that Tanner's foul all of the water. He is affended that people say this about him.

I read Pask, the runaway. Pask is gross, dark, and lonely. She is gross because she eats dog food. She is dark because she ran away from her family. She is lonely because she ran away from her family and lives in a barn with dogs

Today we read Piers. Piers is a The Glassblower's Apprentice. He is desperate, bored, and sort of a wannabe. He is desperate because really wants to blow glass. He is a wannabe because he wants to be just like his master and blow glass. He is bored with his job and what he does in there. So he asked his master and he said "ok do it" ,so he did and succeeded according to his master.

Recently I have read Jacob Ben Salomon, The Moneylender's Son and Petronella, The Merchant's Daughter. Jacob was a Jew but Petronella was a Christian. The Christian's were expected to throw stones at Jews at this time. She threw a rock but skipped it across the water and so did Jacob.They started throwing rocks at the water and skipping them.They were having fun playing with each other so they played for a half hour.

she did not want to tell her that she did it because she knew she would be beaten. She was depressed because she had twins that were messing up everything and there were more coming. Barbary is a peasant which is lowest class. The main idea of this part is not to be jealous because you might do something to whom you are jealous of and in a lot of trouble. This setting is at the market and at Barbary's house.

I read Barbary last night for homework. Barbary is jealous, depressed, sad, and sorrowful. She was jealous of Isobel (the Lord's daughter) because Isobel had a servant and a free hand to hold her dress while she was carrying twins and a basket of food. The one twin pooped and Barbary picked it up and threw it at Isobel. Isobel had it on her nice blue gown and now was ruined. She was very sorry she threw it at her but

I just read pg. 37- 38. These two pages were about the crusades. Crusades were a series of wars that took place between 1095-1272. They all were fought for a holy cause. Crusades were unholy muddle of political motives, greed, savage brutality, and religious fervor. Crusades were very expensive. The holiest prilgrimage was Palestine. Jerusalem was holy for Jews and Muslims. Palestine was invaded by Turks.

Sorry about the progress before this, I accidentally hit Save Progress. So I read Simon,The knight's son today. Simon is higher class and a very happy person. He wants to be like his father and be a knight. He has thoughts and dreams of going to fight while riding his own horse. He is brave because he wants to go to war and fight. He is also very excited that he wants to be a knight. I am doing a slide show on him.
