 * __About my: Prince__**

__ **The day in the life of a Prince: December 3rd 1321** __ 7:45-8:00 Wake up and get dressed into my long sleeve undershirt, sleeveless jacket, clinging hose, leather shoes, gold jewelry, and a big cloak with gold lining. Then make my cotton bed. . 8:15-8:50 Go down stairs and eat breakfast which is fruit such as grapes, and have eggs from the serfs farm. I would also eat bread from Barzon the baker to dip in the egg yoke in. 9:15-9:45 Get orders from the your dad [The King]. He would always make me go down to the manor and check how everything has been because he knows that I hate that job the most. 9:50-10:25 Do some of my favorite activities such as jousting with the knights. My favorite knight to joust with is Sir Lax Alot. 10:30-11:00 After to get all the sweat off I would bathe in my dads golden tub with the well water which is heated from the fire in the great hall. 11:20-12:00 Now for lunch I would have my favorite fruit oranges, the left over bread from this morning at breakfast, and to drink I would have wine.Now I would put on new clothes which are similar to the one I had on this morning. 12:15-12:50 Now I would go and check on the manors to see if everything is under control. 1:05-1:40 I would go to the monk in the manor and see if anybody had letters directed to King Zach I 1:45-2:30 Since I didn't wake up early enough I missed the 7:00 mass I would now go to the 2:00 mass. 3:00-3:45 It is now 3:00 because the mass was a hour long. Now I will practice my reading and writing skills. I would read my favorite book Magellan's Voyage. 3:50-4:35 I would go to my stable where my horse would stand. His name is Oliver. With him in front of me I would prepare my saddle to put on my horse. 4:40-5:50 Now that my saddle is on my horse with King Zach's crest on it now I can go take a practice rides with him. I am taking a practice rides because I am just learning to ride. 6:00-6:45 Now I would socialize with some of best friends in the manor such as Slim Jim, Bartleby Travis McMullin, and Andrew the archer. Most of my best friends are jesters because they make me laugh with there funny jokes. 7:00-7:45 Since I have so much to do everyday I have late dinners. That's one of the biggest things that get on King Zach's nerves. This means that if I come in late for dinner everybody else has to wait for me because if everybody else already ate I would have nobody to sit down with, the food would be cold, and I would stay up all night because after dinner everybody goes to bed to get up early. For dinner I would have roast pheasant my favorite meal. With this I would have vegetables such as green beans, and potatoes to drink I would have fresh water from the well. 8:00-8:30 Get changed into my pajamas and lay down after the long day and go to sleep. I would do it all again the next day

__**I wish I were a lord**__

A prince's advantages are that they are in the royal family. Since he is the son of the king he gets what ever he wants and never gets in trouble. Another advantage for him is he is not the king. Most people would think this would be a good thing, but this is a bad thing because when you are a king you have all of these responsibilities, and when you are prince you leave all of the work up to your dad. A disadvantage to being a prince is you wouldn't have close friends because you wouldn't know who your true friends are since most people would try to be your friend because your are prince. Another disadvantage is your marriage is arranged by your father. This means that the king picks your wife you will marry. So if you like a girl to be your princess there's probably a 99 percent chance that you wont marry her unless your father likes her to be your wife. A right for a prince is to live in the castle remember you can be throwout out by the king. Another right for a prince is he to were the crown. If you are not respecting the code of chivalry the crown will be taken away. A responsibility for a prince is to live up to the code of chivalry. If not there will be serious consequences such as get the crown taken away and lose respect of his people. The last responsibility of a prince is to go down to the lords and check and see if the manors are under control.

A advantage for a lord is that he gets to live in the manor. The manor supplies food, water, heat, and shelter. That is everything that you need to survive. Another advantage for a lord is that he gets to work for the king. If the lord works for the king the lord will get something in return. For example he may give him land, nice clothing, or even a nice house. A disadvantage for a lord is that he can be thrown out of the manor if he does something bad. If he gets thrown out of the manor he will become a peasant because he will have nowhere to live nothing to eat and no clothing so his life relies on the manor. Another disadvantage is the manor is usually in front of the castle so when the enemy is attacking there in the center of the war. I would be so scared! A right for a lord is to work for the king because I am sure all the other peasants out there want to get paid while doing a easy job. Another right for a lord is to live in the manor most of the time the king picks who is going to be in charge of the manor. So he thinks you are a skilled person. If you don't live up to what he thinks you are you will be thrown out by him. A responsibility for a lord is make sure the manor is under control. If he can not keep it calm he will be kicked out and somebody else will replace him. Another responsibility for a lord is to give messages to the king from peasants. If he doesn't how will the king know about whats going on and what they are thinking.


 * __My Modern Day Knight is Cliff Lee__**

My prince has many qualities such as respect, compassion, and bravery. He shows respect by giving respect to the people. How does he give respect to the people? By sharing his land with them, giving food, giving clothing, and giving money. That's one the main reasons that people respect him back. I am sure you would like that person if he gave you money, or gave you free clothes and food. He shows compassion by loving his father and mother and doesn't get mad even through they pick his wife and tell him to do orders half of the day. It all relates around to respect because compassion and respect are very similar, but compassion is more of caring. He shows bravery by going into war and practicing in full combat with the knights. If I was training with the knights I would be pretty scared. He uses all qualities by choosing to go into war. Mostly confidence and bravery because there could be a penalty of death.

My modern day knight is Cliff Lee. I choose him because he most reminds me of a knight with his pitching skills. My prince and Cliff Lee have very much in common. For example we are both heroic. How? Well Cliff Lee could pitch a perfect game in game 7 of the world series. My prince could save many people in war by killing many enemies. Another quality that Zack and Cliff share is discipline. Cliff has to discipline the ball to get to the catcher so that a man doesn't get on base. Zackariah shows discipline by respecting the king and following the rules of the castle. Cliff Lee shows loyalty by respecting his teammates and not getting mad at them if they drop a catch and he says to you, you will do better next time. Prince Zackariah shows loyalty to the king by stopping somebody and correcting them if they were speaking badly about the king. The one thing that they have most in common is leadership. Zackariah is being the assistant leader next to the king of the castle. Cliff is being the leader on the field because he is the one will the ball. Those are the most things that they have in common.

My prince is better than Cliff Lee because my prince is getting through the middle ages were in this time period was very hard. I think Cliff would have trouble surviving in these times. My prince is better than Cliff because my prince needs to fight in war. The only thing that he does is pitch. I know that takes skill, but is he running at full speed with 175lb armor on while fighting and risking your life. Zackariah is better than Cliff Lee because he owns a crown. The only way Cliff could say he owned crown is if he won the world series trophy. [Which the phillies are going to win this year] Anyway that whole thing doesn't belong to him it belongs to the team. Zackariah jousts which is a real mans sport. All you do in baseball is throw the ball and somebody on the other team hits it. In jousting you fight with real swords. I think jousting is a more manlier sport because you could have real serious injuries, but I know in baseball they have injuries, but could they not get there hand chopped off by a ball. Those are the reasons I think my prnce is better.
