The black death was a very deadly plague that killed people in just a couple of days. This disease spread through Europe after it had hit China and Asia. There were towns that were completely destroyed by the disease. The towns were abondoned, kids and families were abandoned. The Black Death killed families together and even if it didn't kill them all the sickness killed parents which then left orphans and the orphans didn't know how to take care of themselves once they were alone. 
     The Black Death caused so many people to flea from their towns and cities. Some were able to escape fromt the sickness, and some were not. The sickness came from China where they got it through the trade routes to Asia and then to Europe. The sickness is from rat's fleas. The fleas would bite you and you would be infected and because people didn't know how to take that much care of it then with medicine, a lot of people died.

My father wants me to marry a stranger that I don't even know just so that he can make an alliance with their family. I don't want to marry someone that I don't know. Even, if my father does get his alliance, I won't be happy. Yes, I know that the alliance will make my father's rule even more secure that it is, but that means I have to marry someone I don't even like just for that reason. It's like if I were sacrificing myself to something wrong. 
     I will also have to leave my home just to marry the stranger. I won't be able to see my family at all any more. My father asked me if I was happy with this decision, I said I was, but I really wasn't. I told him I was the happiest person on earth, even though I'm really not. My father knows whats best for me,  so I am letting him make the decision, which he already did, for me to marry a stranger. I have decided not to make any complain about this.

I can't stand the fact that my parents have to choose who I get to marry. Why can't I choose who I want to marry, or at least they should pick someone that I actually would marry. My parents just pick whoever they want. They look for guys that have good land and a lot of money. Why can't I at least like someone and get married to them. No, my parents have to ask the other person's parents in order for them to marry me. 

I have been away from home for two days, without my mother or father, I feel lonely. Just to know that I won't able to see them again brings me the pain that I have to suffer through. I am getting chased by John Ayecliff for something that I didn't even do. Ever since I saw that dead hanging body I thought that it was a sign and that I should continue on to where the sun was setting. So I did and now I am here in a deserted village. I see no sign of life. Then all of a sudden I hear a voice, it sounds so real. Could someone be actually living here?
      I get closer to hear the voice coming from the church. It was a man who was singing with his eyes closed and he had a bag by his side. I, since I'm starving, quickly think it's some type of food. I wait there until he is done singing and playing his drum. He turns around and greets me. He questions me and then believes me, but then he grabs me by my wrist and forces me to tell him the truth. So I tell him and he blocks my passage from the door....
