We put sticky notes on posters that we thought that we struggled in. The one that I think I struggled in was empathize with humanity. I feel like I am more of a person who understands what people are going through but I don’t always know how to react. I now know that you have to put your self in their shoes and try and feel what they feel and try and help them through your knew found knowledge.
My grandparents got in a car crash and I saw God in how the weren’t hurt.

Theme Writing
Books in life help you explore mythical lands, read about people that onced live or put you into a person’s shoes. Books give us many things. For some it can be an escape or a new opportunity. I love reading historical fiction books because you can read what other did and put yourself in their shoes. The book The Redheaded Princess by Ann Rinaldi meant a lot to me because it taught me a valuable lessons. The book is about people in the 15 hundredths how they lived and how the people suffered and about the kings and queens and kings that ruled over England. The main character is a young girl named Elizabeth. She is in line to be Queen someday. But she is faced with people trying to live her life for her. The theme is that women were treated fairly .
You have to rely on a man. Elizabeth couldn’t becaume queen because she was a female that was unmarred. In this story Elizabeth is third in line for the throne and everyone tells her she must marry but all the people that want to marry her only want the throne for their own purpose. A queen had to marry because she needed a husband to make political decisions for her and to organise and lead her military campaigns. The most important reason she needed to marry was because she needed to produce a male heir so that there would not be any war over who would succeed the throne. Even a women that is not queen main job was to have children and take care of the house work.
A husband had power over his wife and told them what to do. Men were head of their households. They would make most of the income and would work the higher jobs. They watched over the women making sure that they were doing things right. If they were single then their father, brother, or other male relative was expected to look after them. Men thought that women were weaker emotionally and physically.
Women weren’t allowed the same things as men. The Only people that were allowed on the privy council were men that owned land or men that came from nobility. They believed that women could not own land or make important decisions on their own. Women could not go to school. If women wanted an education they would have to have private tutor. They were also not allowed to enter professions such as law, medicine and politics. They mainly were cooks or maids.The Privy Council was all composed of the most powerful men in her country. Men that owned a lot of land and also men that came from powerful\noble families. A women was not allowed in the council because they were not as powerful and could not own land.
Women weren’t treated fairly. They couldn’t have as good of jobs or certain things that they were expected to do. I like when Elizabeth said “I will have but one mistress here and no master,” because she is sticking up for herself and women everywhere. She is telling people that you don’t have to rely on a man, you can be strong on your own. I really liked the book because I can relate to some of things that happened in the book and also you can learn lessons from things that happened in the past.
