__**A Day In The Life Of Knight**__ My Knight Henry wakes up at 8:00 a. m. in the morning, he gets out of his pajamas and gets into his knight outfit. The armor he puts on is very heavy. The armor weighs about 300 pounds. The helmet is also very heavy but it is need to help him when he is in battle. After a breakfast of bread and water, Henry then feeds and grooms his horse. Henry then jumps on his horse and heads to the castle to protect the king. The king usually tells him where to go and what to do. Henry usually is next to the king or in his other position, which is outside the castle, because he has to also protect the king's castle. At 12:00 he goes for his lunch break. Henry usually goes to a baker and gets bread and water for his lunch. His lunch break is usually only fifteen minutes, so at 12:15 he goes back to the castle. Henry goes back to the same position that he was before he left. Henry doesn't take his dinner break until at 5:00 p. m. For dinner Henry has the same thing as he had for breakfast and lunch, bread and water. Henry finish work at 9 p. m. and goes home, gets changed out of his knight outfit, and gets dressed go to church. Church ends at 11:00 p. m. and he goes home and goes to bed. The next day he does the same thing all over again. A knight doesn't get to do much on his own. He has to do what is asked of him by the king. He doesn't get to choose from much to eat and it doesn't taste very good. A knights day is long and it is hard to move in the heavy armor. He does have to be strong to wear the armor because it is so heavy. As a knight you have to be ready to fight for the king and go to battle. You have to use a sword to fight.



Right now I am a knight and my knight has a lot of responsibilities. Some of those responsibilities are protecting the people on the manor and also protecting the king. If the knight doesn't pay attention and stay alert and do the right thing, that knight might get into trouble and that wouldn't be good. If I were a Prince, I would be protected by the knight. A prince gets to eat better food and doesn't have to wear heavy armor. As a prince, I would get a good education and may one day be a king. The king gets to rule the land and has the protection of a knight. As a prince I would not have to work a job. I would have people help me and do things for me. I would get to dress in better clothes and eat better food. The prince gets to live in a castle.

A knights responsibilities were to defend the king and the king's land. A knight would train the sons of nobles and kings. A knight would be the best warrior that he could be. A knight would look after the poor and weak, women and children A knight would stand for justice, morality, purity and honor

 * __Modern day Knight__**

Henry is a Knight who believes in doing a good job. All the knights work for the king and do what the king asks of them. Henry knows that he has to be strong and has to be committed to the king and his country. Henry likes his job defending the king and his land. He also knows it is his responsibility to be the best warrior that he can be. Henry and the other knight also look after the poor and weak people of the country and helps them. They are there to work together to help and protect the women and children of the country too. Henry's life was working for the king and going to church everyday.

Brian Dawkins is my modern day knight because his is as committed and strong as a midevil knight was to the king and the kings land. Brian is a safety for Denver Bronco's football team, but had played for the Philadelphia Eagles. Brian Dawkins loves the game of football. He trains hard and wants to do all that is needed to be a team player. Brian Dawkins helps both adults and children, and those that are in need. He has won the award for Father of the Year from the American Diabetes Association and is the spokesperson for Juvenile Diabetes. Brian Dawkins has also raised money for the Burn Prevention Foundation and has donated gift cards to underprivileged children every Thanksgiving and Christmas. Brian Dawkins is committed to helping and protecting those who are in need, just as a knight was committed to protecting and helping. Both the knights and Brian Dawkins had to wear heavy body protective gear and a helmet to do their jobs. Henry and Brian Dawkins both work together with others, Henry with the other knights and Brian Dawkins with his team players, to accomplish their work. They both do good for the poor, the weak and the sick. Both of them also help adults and children. Dawkins want to be the best player he can be and Henry wants to be the best knight there can be.

Today there are a lot of people who try to look for faults in sport figures. No matter how much good they do, once they do something bad it is all over the news. Brian Dawkins gets paid a lot of money for what he does. Henry got paid very little. Henry couldn't even by good food, all he ate every day and every meal was bread and water. Henry would work only for the king. Brian Dawkins will work for who ever pays him the most money.
