Finding it hard to focus but recalling my nose in a book. I don't know why I was always reading or if it was just that I was always made to read. It was very important to my Father that I was a learned man. Well schooled in Science, Arithmetic, Writing and Latin. Latin was the foundation of our religion (which was Catholic if you had not guessed). One had to know Latin in order preform work for the king since any number of laws and scrolls was often written in the old law languages of Latin. Which makes perfect sense because they wanted people to understand them right? (add sarcasm here)If you were a commoner it was very likely that you could not read. You would have a basic understanding of the laws that governed over you but politically you were pretty much in the dark. Most of the street signs in town were usually pictures instead of words. A Barber shop would have a scissors on the sign. a Blacksmith an anvil. And this would make it easier for the illiterate to get along. Anyroad I could probably go on and on about class and pros so I will not bore you all.
Latin..would you believe I don't hardly recall an ounce of it?
That is all for now~
