Diary Entry on Elizabethan Times
Today I was filled to the top with euphoria because mother promised me she would take m to London for my birthday. I woke up abnormally early and washed my face with cold water and put on my favourite polka-dotted dress. I fixed my bed sheets and sprayed a small amount of perfume onto my clothes. I glanced at my pocket watch and found that it was already five o’clock; it would take two hours to get there. I raced down the stairs and shoved a few spoons of rice into my mouth and sprinted back upstairs to awake my sleeping mother.
My mother took an everlasting period of time to get ready and when she did she started putting make up on. Whilst I was waiting I was reading a book about the history of London and how Henry the Eighth’s palace was there. When my mother had finally got ready, we clambered into the awaiting carriage; it was pulled by a beautiful, black mare, who, before I climbed into the carriage, stroked.
When we arrived at London I was greeted to the smell of fresh baked bread, but I also heard screaming and shouting. As we drove past I felt sick and turned green, it was law day and someone was being executed. Their intestines had just been ripped out and the man’s face had a look of pure terror. His intestines were probably the last thing he saw. I turned away. These people were barbaric. As we passed my mother ordered the driver to stop and I opened the door and found myself looking at St. Marys of Bethlehem, I had always wanted to come here. As I entered I could hear laughter, I turned round the corner and found myself staring at dancing peasant. At first I was extremely confused, and then I saw the people poking them. Anger boiled in my stomach, people were provoking the poor people by hitting them with sharp sticks forcing them to dance. I had had enough. I stormed back to the carriage fuming and my mother gave me a strange look. She told the driver to go somewhere, I couldn’t hear her because she was whispering,

    March 20, 1608 - I think I have finally found the love I have always dreamt about. This man, he is perfect, the cream of the crop. There is one single dilemma, he is not a noble like I. He may be a man of the bourgeois class, but he has more man in his one finger than any “noble” man I have ever met. This man he is not noble through birth, office, or “letters” so it will be a difficult situation for us to work through. (Trueman) He is a poor poet attempting to travel the extensive, torturous journey to obtain his life-long goal of becoming a play write. (Trueman) Play writers don’t make an excessive amount of money but they make a decent amount of money to live off of. If only this man was noble, I could then marry and respect him for the rest of my life. (France in the 16th and 17th Centuries) He could be the leader of our family that we would raise together. (France in the 16th and 17th Centuries) BAM! An amazing and ingenious idea just hit me. We could fool the whole town by disguising him as a “noble” foreigner and put him in nice clothes. This plan is fool proof and no one would ever figure out the secret. Now my family will not be disgraced by my decision to marry this man since they will believe he is noble. I, a forever fruitful French female, fancies the day when I will be able to always stay by my very own noble-on-the-inside man for the rest of my…

    Elizabeth I once said, “A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past” (WEW). Elizabeth I was the queen of England from 1558 until 1603, and had a goal of preserving English peace and prosperity (RRR). She was one of the few female monarchs that believed in making England better while she was in power so she does not mull over it later on. The Elizabethan era was named after Elizabeth I, which lasted for 45 years. This era is considered to be a golden age in English history because it was a time of temporary peace and prosperity.…

    During this era when men and women get married they are expected to have children. They expect to have children because the children are expected to be the property of their parents and to give their parents all their respect. Also, not every family in the Elizabethan Era was wealthy, not all children had real toys. If you were a young girl who came from a less wealthy family you would have to play with a paper doll instead of a real doll. Boys during this time who came from a financially challenged family would usually make the toys they would want to play with instead of buying them. If you were a boy during this time and you could not find the right materials to build toys you would then go hunting or fishing.…

    The old woman stood with eyes uplifted in her Sunday–go–to–meeting clothes: high shoes polished about the tops and toes, a long rusty dress adorned with an old corsage, long withered, and the remnants of an elegant silk scarf as head rag stained with grease from the many oily pigtails underneath. Perhaps she had known suffering. There was a dazed and sleepy look in her aged blue–brown eyes. But for those who searched hastily for "reasons" in that old tight face, shut now like an ancient door, there was nothing to be read. And so they gazed nakedly upon their own fear transferred; a fear of the black and the old, a terror of the unknown as well as of the deeply known. Some of those who saw her there on the church steps spoke words about her that were hardly fit to be heard, others held their pious peace; and some felt vague stirrings of pity, small and persistent and hazy, as if she were an old collie turned out to die (section 3.1).…

    My heart is a mixture of hope and hopelessness, all around me is despair and misery and yet if I give up I perish. Every where I go I have to hold on to my emotions. Wherever I walk I see mutilated bodies and to think, that person could have had a life, makes you brake inside. But you have to stay strong, I got used to them, it becomes just a part of my nature. I mean, I see a body and then I disassociate myself completely from it. It was complete genocide. We unwillingly got forced onto a train. There were more thane 30 of us all in one carriage it was dark and there was only one window on the train. There was constant voices yelling, crying, mourning and screaming.
