What Do You Think?
Thinking is a very important part of our day as humans. Think about it. All day, no matter where you go, who you meet, and what you experience, you will always be thinking, and encountering people think. Thinking is a very complicated process, and we could not survive as humans without thinking. The thing that sets us apart from one another is thinking. We all think in different ways, and just like t
he people in medieval times, they thought according to their situation and their social classes.
Living in Medieval times was not an easy task for the slaves. They had to work all day, and were barley given any credit. Back then, different groups of peasants live on a single manor, and the slaves were sold and bought. The serfs, who were people who could neither leave the manor or be forced to leave, made up most of the peasant’s population. Free man could move freely, hence their name, and they made up only a small portion of the population in medieval times. (http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/history/middleages/prole.html) Most likely, because of the peasants versus the Lords living conditions, they both thought differently about the work and how things were run in the world. For example, the lords might of loved the way things were run, with themselves on top of the social class running everything and having to do nothing but enjoy themselves, well, on the other hand, the slaves and peasants must of hated how things were run back them because they were on the bottom of the social latter, and they had to do all the work, and they were treated as nothing, bought and sold like food or materials. "A man of great vanity, swollen with pride, shameless in his arrogance, who acted towards those subject to him as though he were without any spark of human kindness, raging against them beyond the bounds of malice and stupidity and doing unspeakable injuries to them", explains how the slaves were treated back in medieval times.
Other people who may of thought as the time and how things went were the knights. Knight was a term used that referred to a nobleman or a warrior. When a high social status family had a son, and when he reached the age of seven, he was sent to go and live in a castle with another lord, a lord who usually was a close friend with the family of the son. There, he began his education, doing chores and performing services for the people of the castle. At the age of thirteen he apprenticed to a knight and he became a squire. He was taught all the basics of a knight like the skill with sword lance, and shield. He then also learned his duties and responsibilities. The squires also engaged in mock battles, which where battles with a dummy, and if he hit the dummy in the center, it would fall over, if they hit it anywhere else, it would swing around and hit the squire in the back. The squires where judged and ready to become a knight at the age of eighteen or twenty one, and at that time a ceremony time and date were set. At the ceremony, the squire would take a bath and become cleansed, and then he would make a confession, and spend the night in the chapel praying. (http://www.mnsu.edu/emuseum/history/middleages/knighthood.html) The squires and Knights probably thought that life was pretty good, and maybe they like their life, most likely unlike the slaves who would do anything to get out of doing chores for the lords, and barely owing anything of their own.
Thinking is probably one of the most important things we have today, and we see from the past that the squires, knights, peasants, serfs, and Lords. They all thought differently on how the world was won, and they all thought differently on their life and their jobs. Maybe squires thought that they had it bad with themselves being forced into knighthood, but maybe the peasants wished they could become a knight of high social standard. Maybe all the people had to do was spend a week in each other’s shoes and see what it was like to be in a different social position. Thinking was very important part of life, and nobody could live without it, and we know that everyone thinks differently and sees life differently, like the peasants versus the Lords

Cluniac Reforms
The Cluniac reforms was said to be "series of changes within medieval monasticism, focused on restoring th
e traditional monastic life, encouraging art, and caring for the poor." During the height of the reform, it was one of the largest religious forces in Europe.William of Aquitaine formed the first cluny in 910. Late his cluny invaded thousands of monasteries. Because of the reform, people demanded more altar vessels of gold, fine tapestries and fabrics, stained glass, and polyphonic choral music to fill the churches. Also the Cluniac reform was one that was expressed with the architecture, and was on of the more important reforms that contributed to the advancement of architecture.

Spongenitis
Once upon a time in 2012 the Prophet Patrick’s prediction was coming true. Throughout the town of Sealand, a
nd unspeakable, and unheard disease was happening. No one knew where it came from, or how it came about, but all people knew was the world was ending. A couple months earlier, the famous fisherman Fred, also known as the blue eyed Canadian, went fishing on Sunday morning and caught the most mysterious, largest, rainbow sponge. He was proud of his catch, and brought I back to show wall the lovely towns people of Sealand, but mysteriously, a day later, Fred started to turn yellow. Fred grew very concerned, so he went to the doctor, but the doctor was flabbergasted on why he was suddenly changing color. By the next day, Fred was started to develop very porous skin, and he became very thirsty. By the third day, Fred craving weird things, like a pet snail, and a spatula. By the fourth day, Fred’s doctor, doctor David went to check-up on Fred to see how he was doing, but when Dr. David got to Fisherman’s Fred house, he was shock what he found. Dr. David found Fred, at least he thought it was Fred, as a giant, square shaped, yellow sponge with the clothes that Fred wore last on the body of the Sponge. Dr. David became worried, and named this disease Spongenitis. The word about Fred soon spread, and more cases of Spongenitis appeared throughout the town. No one knew the cure to this curious illness, but all people knew was their friends were turning into sponges left and right. Not months after the first encounter with the rainbow sponge, the whole world was infected with Spongenitis, and the end of the world was here. Only two lived to tell the tale of Spongenitis, and their names were Hawaiian Haloti and his wife Wendy, The made it through the sickness by living in a giant pineapple, and after the last person turned into sponge, they decided to make their own, new world, of fruit loving, karate practicing freaks.

Can You Read A Building
During the Medieval Age, the churches were very important because they were the center of learning, and they held a majority of the money in the town. In fact, the Churches were very powerful during that time, but what made some unique are the writings and drawing on their ceilings and walls, which brings to mind the question: Can you read a building? The answer to the question is yes. In medieval times, architects wrote and drew on the many churches and buildings for symbolic reason, and the drawings can still be read and seen even to this very day.
On way churches and buildings can be read is by looking at their architecture and drawings on the outside in the entrances and above. Before a worshiper entered a church,
they would be able to see sculpture of saints and sinners, and people being punished. These sculptures where there to serve as a reminder to hold God in the highest importance in your life. Another way the architects made their sculptures come to life were the use of Gargoyles. These were original made to drain the water from the top and the sides of the buildings, but where later thought the terrifying sculptures were made to keep evil away, and another later theory was the remind all sinners of their fate. (http://www.robinurton.com/history/medieval.htm)
Another way people now days can read buildings are through the way they were designed. For example if a church had open window and the inside where open, they were opening up the church and the building to the light and to God. Some the entrances tell it all. In some entrances, you see a depiction of Jesus’ last time here on Earth, which was to remind people of their death. Other churches were built to remind people of the good they should be doing on Earth. The afterlife was a very important aspect to the people in medieval times, and it gave people hope that there was something else more powerful then them waiting on the other side.
"According to the general disposition of God, the souls of all the saints who departed from this world before the passion of our Lord Jesus Christ and also of the holy apostles, martyrs, confessors, virgins and other faithful who died after receiving the holy baptism of Christ—provided they were not in need of any purification when they died, or will not be in need of any when they die in the future, or else, if they then needed or will need some purification, after they have been purified after death—and again the souls of children who have been reborn by the same baptism of Christ or will be when baptism is conferred on them, if they die before attaining the use of free will: all these souls, immediately (mox) after death and, in the case of those in need of purification, after the purification mentioned above, since the ascension of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ into heaven, already before they take up their bodies again and before the general judgment, have been, are and will be with Christ in heaven, in the heavenly kingdom and paradise, joined to the company of the holy angels. Since the passion and death of the Lord Jesus Christ, these souls have seen and see the divine essence with an intuitive vision and even face to face, without the mediation of any creature by way of object of vision; rather the divine essence immediately manifests itself to them, plainly, clearly and openly, and in this vision they enjoy the divine essence . Moreover, by this vision and enjoyment the souls of those who have already died are truly blessed and have eternal life and rest. Also the souls of those who will die in the future will see the same divine essence and will enjoy it before the general judgment." (http://www.ewtn.com/library/PAPALDOC/B12BDEUS.HTM)
The churches were very important for people, because without them they would have nothing to believe in and the structure of churches they were important on telling people how they should live their lives and where they will be going after their death.
Churches were also very symbolic to the people in olden times. Back then everyone believed in Heaven and Hell, and they believed that they only way into either was through the entrance and acceptance of the Church. Back then, they believed that, if someone went and started to build a church, and somehow managed to die on the job, their soul would be welcomed into heaven without any questions . Also, in the olden time, people listened to what the church wanted because they held most of the money of the towns. They were like the rulers and they controlled who paid them what. (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval_church.htm)
Reading churches can be interpreted in many ways such as actually looking up at the church and seeing written words that have been written when the church was built, and they describe a certain part of time in the medieval history. Or reading a church could also be looking at the way it is built and seeing that they way it is open and letting the sun in, and they way people view the church as they key to the afterlife. Churches were very powerful back in the olden days, and they where looked upon with great care, people today still look at the churches and their amazing sculpture., and today, we still read the churches and look into their past while learning new things every day.

Describe the medieval imagination.
People in medieval times could not understand the world around them, therefore they made things up, sometimes things that may or could not ever exist. No matter how cra
zy the animal or creature seemed, people always seemed to believe that they were real. Some things that they made up were a person coming down from the sky, but dying because they could not breathe our air. Also they had the idea that there were such things as people who still had the soul of a human, but they had the head of a dog.(http://web.cn.edu/KWHEELER/monster_list.html) The people of Medieval times accepted this without question, and they had many arguments based on that, if they ever, saw the dog headed animal, would they try to preach to it and convert it into Christianity. The people of Medieval times had a very big imagination, that sometimes got the better of them.

Do human beings have an innate instinct to be free?
Humans do, in my opinion, to be free. We can see example,es of this in the Declaration of Independence. The Unites States was under rule of England and we wanted to
be free. We wanted to be our own country, and to be able to be in control of ourselves. In the Declaration of Independence it states that "That all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness;" This shows that as human, we see ourselves as all equal, and there is no reason why someone should control people when in fact we are all the same.

The medieval church played a bug role in medieval England. Back then the church dominated every bodies lives, and everybody believed that God, Heaven, and hell all 
existed. The church controlled everybody. They had work for the peasants. The church back then was also every wealthy. Thy are wealthy because they got 10% of the money that people make through taxes, they did not have to pay taxes themselves, and also because people had to pay for baptisms. Because the church was so wealthy, people were afraid that if they did not obey, they would be condemned. (http://www.historylearningsite.co.uk/medieval_church.htm)
