EBOLA VIRUS BREAKS OUT

AFRICA- Ebola virus breaks out in Africa this week,
over 90 people became diagnosed this week,
Causing skin rash, external bleeding and more.
Its causing an outrage.
The constant bleeding out of the faces horrifies the local people.
Why is this happening to so many people?
Going into shock seems to be the last horrible thing that occurs before you unfortunately dies.

Today, I witnessed A battle, Between A knight and a peasant. It was brutal , It happened in the middle of town, right outside of a barber shop. It was caused because the peasant tried to steel something from the knight. This fight was over faster then it started, The peasant was nearly killed! I was shocked to see this, but I guess it was just a matter of time and place, because I definitely did not want to witness it. I hope I never have to see another thing like that ever again.

My life today in 2009, is really not much different from back in the middle ages. My family/Culture is not very different, I live with a loving family that i love very much, And my culture hasn't changed I'm still expected to act the way I did back then. The Government has changed very much. We are still ruled by one person, But we all have A say in who it is, And what happens in our country. I like life a lot better these days. And im very luckey to live in this type of enviorment.

I live in a small town, but its full of valleys,rivers and lakes. I love where I live, but I can't wait to return home. I'm an apprentice to A cook. Every week I go to the store and get what I will need for the week. Then I come home and get the kitchen area prepared for dinner. I help cook the food that we will eat, and then I serve the food. After we're done eating I am expected to clean up after myself and Caroline. We usually eat fish and chicken. Those are two of our main meals. In my neighborhood, I do not interact with many people, I mostly spend time with Caroline and sometime A few local kids in the neighborhood. That is what I'm expected to do every day of every week.

Where I live in Western Europe our type of government is called the feudal system. This government has levels. The kings being the highest then the Nobles, The Knights and the Peasants. Many laws were set in the middle ages. A law that I don't agree with was that when A people would commit a crime they would have to swallow poison, or carry a burning piece of iron over a certain distance, and If the burn got infected the person would be sentenced as guilty. I don't agree with this because just because a burn gets infected, it doesn't mean hes guilty.But there is also laws that I do agree with it was an obligation of an intermediate lord to protect his tenets against interference from his own over lord. I agree with this because the lord should protect his people.
