Girl In a Cage

Everyday Life 1300

               The Girl in a Cage book is set in the in the middle ages or the medieval times. I learned that the times back then were very different. Women and children were treated very differently then men. It was a male denomination. Two classes, nobles and peasants divided the people.  The food they ate was mostly eaten with hands. The peasants weren’t very clean because there wasn’t much water for them, although the nobles had clean warm water warmed by fire.  It was all about money, the more money you had the better things you would get and the better quality clothes, food, and treatment. They were very religious they believed in God and that the devil wanted to harm them. I think that learning about what is going on in the book before we read it will help us understand the book better.
