Have you ever lived in a society based off of the Middle Ages?? No?! Really? Well I did for four days in class!
Our class was called Nation X and we were put into 4 different groups.
Group A the peasants, whose task was to write a 100 word letter every day for 1 dollar.
Group B the merchants, that was my group! I ran the shop for all of the groups with Mika. Our daily task other than running the shop was writing a 50 word letter about our day! Since it was a monarchy and the king read the letters, we had to make them king positive.
Group C the knights/nobility had a lot of freedom. They ran the jail, and they didn’t have to have a lot of reason to arrest someone.
Group D the clergy/monarchy were the most important class. They were a small group, and had one king who was in charge of everything.
We got to read the news every day to let us know what was happening. The king paid us our daily wage. Since I ran the shop with Mika we got paid a dollar more wage a day.
In the end the king was overthrown. Diseases were spread, resulting in health care being made. We created a council of one person from each group. A military was created in threat of war from other nations. Weapons were made by groups A and B. Our nation was ready for war. It was a fair democracy. We were all doing pretty great, except for the fact that I’m still dying of disease. I never got a cure, so am I going to die??
