Being a knight has some advantages and some disadvantages. Some advantages are that you are able to defend yourself. You may also be wealthy because knights have their own section on the ladder chart. Knights have more land then other people on the manor. Some disadvantages are having to protect other people throughout the manor and kingdom. Knights must risk their life to protect other people. Another disadvantage is you have to go through years and years of training to become a knight.

When you are a knight you have some rights and responsibilities. Knights have the right to own land on the manor. Knights also have the right to be given food, money, armor and weapons. Their responsiblity is to give everyone protection on the manor and in the kingdom. You may think it's easy but it's not.

I wish I were a peasant because I would have less rights and responsilities to worry about. When you are a peasant, life is so much simpler. And I 'd rather have life be simple. All peasants do is work on the land, eat food,and maybe have a little fun. Then they do the same thing the next day. The reason that life was simpler then is the whole point was to live a good life in medieval times. They did not have professional sports;infact they didn't have sports at all. So when people got older, they really didn't have any other thing to do besides work. So, I'd rather be a peasant.

My knight has very specail qualities.My knight is very brave,trustworthy,strong,and has leadership.I think all knights should have these qualities because it is important. A knight has to be brave when they go to war.They have to be trustworthy so the king can believe you.You have to be strong so you can fight wearing 200 pound armor.You also have to show leadership so if any people are being attacked you are able to lead them to safety. My modern day knight is Derrick Rose. He is the point gaurd for the Chicago Bulls.He is my modern day hero because he is a great leader. He lead the bulls to the playoffs last season.They put him at point guard because they trust him to handle the ball.He is strong and brave because he is playing with a stomach problem. He may have the same qualities as my knight,but my knight is better.The reason my knight is better because my guy is risking his life.That shows more bravery.My knight is stronger because he has to run in armor that can weigh up to 200 pounds.Also my knight is more trustworthy because his responsiblity is to protect people in the whole kingdom.That is so much more important than being a point guard.
