No we would not like to become knights in medieval times. We would not like to because you would have a really big chance of dieing. You would have very little time to be with your family. You would be taken away from your family when your really little. You have to pay a lot of bills with being knights. You get paid a lot but most of it goes to the bills.

Nikita and Jess:
DeleteThere isn't a big chance of you dieing. You have 40-60 pounds of armor on. Also, I don't think that the age of 7 is very little. I think that being a knight would be great.
Hahahahhaahhahahahahahahaha lier. That is like my little sister going in and trying to kill people. Entertaining to think about, but too long and it becomes scary. I see her all bloody with bones crushed. If you had/have a little brother/sister, would you want to put them through that. I hope it is a no because you put them in and they never come out.

ReplyDeleteI would want to be a knight because it sounds like a honor. It sounds like an honor to be a squire too. I think i would get respect from the king. I also think i would get respect from citizens.

I would love to be a knight in the middle ages. It seems very exciting. You would be greatly honored if you were a knight. I would probably be an archer, for I love archery. I would think being a knight would be fascinating.

No I would not like to become knights in medieval times. I would not like to because you would have a really big chance of dieing. Your not with your family for a while, You would have been taken away from your family when your really little. you are taken away at about age seven to eight. You get paid a good amount. But not enough to sustain your family with all of the bills.

I would enjoy becoming a Knight in the middle ages. One reason is because you become one of the wealthiest people in the community, and that i would like very much. Another reason i'd like to become a night is because i would get to be educated and learn how to do things that people who aren't knights wouldn't know how to do. But most of all I would enjoy serving my kingdom and protecting the people. I wonder what being a Knight would feel like.

yes I would want to become a Knight in the middle ages. One reason is because you get money and become very wealthy. This will be a very good reward for joining. Money could help the community and yourself.

I would like to become a knight in those times. I have plenty of reasons to support my opinion. For example, knights are the most wealthy people in that land. Also you learn fighting skills to protect yourself in battle. I would feel an honor to protect my lord too. As well as the castle.

I would want to be a serf. A knight must fight in battle and serfs just do yard work which does not cause injuries. In an article it says that serfs get protection from the king. say f they where attacked the serfs could leave their huts and hide in the castle. that sounds better than fighting and getting hurt.

You weren't given the choice to become a serf. only your opinion to become a knight or not.
DeleteJack Craffey P 4-7B
Yes we would like to be a knight, because we can get more rights. You do not have a big chance of dying since you have so much armor on. You also live a glorious life and a big house.

Check grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. Not enough detail.

ReplyDeleteYes I would want to be a knight for a couple of reasons. For one you get to be respected as one of the toughest and bravest people in the village. Also you have one of the top social statuses. I bet it would be very thrilling to be a medieval knight.
Not enough details. Shaking my head...

After reading what the life of a knight was like when I was learning about medieval times, I would like to be a knight as a boy. I would like to be a knight because I know that if I was to win a tournament then I would be someone that everyone believed in.

ReplyDeleteIf I were a boy in Medieval Times I would love to be a knight. I would enjoy this ,because You would do tournaments and it would be like school accept with many challenges and fights. You would joust with another knight winning with joy, you would be respected by many people, and you would have fun with the simplest things to think of. I would have a blast being a knight in Medieval Times.
I would like to be a knight in medieval times. One reason is you would be honored greatly. Also, you could compete in tournaments to see how skilled you are. Another reason I would like to be one is you are the most powerful warrior in the medieval times. Finally, you are the most important person in battle.

If I was a boy in Medieval Times I would do anything to be a knight! Becoming a knight is not only be an honor but a privilege. I would be able to fight in battle and defend my country, I would also be able to show my strength in tournaments. To be a knight would be a dream come true!
ReplyDeleteNo I would not want to be a knight. There are many reasons for me not wanting to be a knight. One is you have to face death occasionally. You also have to pay, which I think is totally unfair. I mean you have to pay to work; they should be paying you to work. Also I don’t really like fighting people. Then there is the age you would have to leave your family at age 8. I think that is totally unfair. I wonder if there were people who were forced into knighthood.

ReplyDeleteIf I were a young boy in the Middle Ages, I would dream every night of being a knight. I would want to become a knight because I get to share influence with younger people. For example, one day, when I am a knight, I will have a squire to teach. I could tell the squire about my strategies, special moves, and so much more. I've always wanted to teach someone! Also, I would enjoy being cheered on by others. For instance, during a joust, maybe people would shout out that I could win. Being a knight sounds great!
After reading what life was like to a Medieval knight, I would want to be a knight. If I weren't a knight I would most likely be a serf. Knights have always have enough food to eat and serfs barely ever have enough to eat because they send most of their food to their lord. There is a great possibility that a knight could die in battle. But serfs also have a great possibility. from dying from diseases; since they live in their house with farm animals. They could also die from starvation since they don't a lot of food. In my opinion being a knight wouldn't be that bad.

If I were a young boy in the Middle Ages I would not have wanted to become a knight. I would have to start being a page at only 8 years old. I would be taken away from my family and would have to take care of a knight’s armor and weapons. Then as a squire I would have to go into battle and if I survived that I would then become a knight. However I would have to fight so many other enemies and risk getting killed. It would be dangerous being a knight so I would not want to become a knight.

ReplyDeleteIf I were a boy in the Medieval Times I would be a knight. I would like to be a knight because you joust,fight and help your lord in battle. And have many challenges and street fights. You would joust with other knights and be victorious some times. And by being victorious many people will look up to you for protection and they will respected you. I would be honor to be a knight in Medieval Times.
If I were in Medieval Times I would like to be a knight.I would like to be a knight because you get a lot of respect.The only thing I would do differently from the other knights is that instead of being nice to nobles only i would be nice to everyone.

I would like to be a knight in medieval times. One reason why is that to be a knight, you have to be a noble. this means that you come from a noble family. A knight is usually very wealthy and many people look up to them for protection and support. I think that it would be very excited, and if you are a well-known knight many people adore you. A final reason why I would like to be a knight is because it is a huge honor. being a knight means that you have passed training and proved yourself worthy enough to serve your people.

After reading about being a knight, I would not want to be a knight. I don't want to be a knight because it is deadly. When i am young i don't want my dad to leave be with a knight i never met. I wouldn't want to go into tournaments to practice my fighting and be jabbed with a dull lance and ride one handed and jab other people while risking dying just to train for battle.
ReplyDeleteIf I was a boy in Medieval Times, I would like to be a knight. I would feel great honor and I would like to help defend my home. Even with the risk of dying, I would still do it. All the armor would keep me safe. Unlike some knights, I would be kind to all peasants and follow the code of chivalry.

If I were a boy in Medieval Times I would be glad to be a Knight. I would be glad because Your protected by armor. Also you will be trained too

After reading the article about knights, I would be a knight. For example, I would be able to joust and fight in battle.Also I can dub my own squire. Last, I can help my lord secure the castle. I would love to be a knight.

If I were a young boy in Medieval Times, I would not like to be a knight for many different reasons. One reason is you could be killed or severaly injured by other knights. Even though you can earn a lot of money and fame, it would still be nice to live and be free.
ReplyDeleteJessica Period 4-6/7 B
If I were a boy in medieval times I wouldn't want to be a knight. I wouldn't want to be a knight because of tournaments. I wouldn't want to risk my life just for someones entertainment. If a knight cheated than I could possibly die because of him. I wonder why a knight wouldn't follow the Code of Chivalry.

In the middle ages, boys may have to become knights to fight in the war. If were a boy in the middle age, I would choose not to become a knight for many reasons. For example, if you are a knght in war, there is a better chance of you being killed than surviving. In addition, I would go at the age seven or eight and that is a young age to fight and somone that age would not understand how to be brave or confident that age. I would also not be a knight because I would not see my family for a long time and I would leave them.

In the middle ages I would like to be a knight because I would be treated how I would like to be. I would also want to be a knight because i would want to go through the proccedure a young page would have to. That is two of the main reasons why I would want to be a knight in the middle ages.
