unit two medieval period

1. I think the story will be about a king and his people going to battle. It will be set in the medieval time period. I think that the story will have a lot of action. I assume there will be irony and sarcasm in the story.
2.      When I was reading the story it was challenging for me to understand the writing style. I heard the rap and it helped me comprehend the story a lot more. I liked how the story told the truth about sinning and money is the roots of all evil. Since the story included some parts of the Bible I was able to understand what they were talking about.                                        There were three men sitting in a bar drinking when this other dude came in and told a sob story about how his friend died in his sleep. So the three men got mad because death was killing everybody. The three men walked up to this old man and the old man was wrapped up in bandages and bleeding. They had asked the old man how he defeated death so he said he prayed every night for God to come take him away. The old man told them that they could defeat death under the tree. He told them that because he knew that there was money under the three and money was the root of all evil. Then they had to pull straws and the youngest one got the shortest straw.  He went to get wine and he got rat poison .While he was gone the other two were plotting to kill him when he came back. Then when he came they killed him and themselves by drinking the poisonous wine. So in the end the old man ended up being death himself.

     I thought that the ending was ironic because the old man said they would find death under the tree but they were actually looking for a person. Instead of finding a person they found death itself. They died under the tree. They saw death but they didn’t really know it was him when they walked up to him. The three men asked where death lives and he pointed to an old tree and said there.  He was really saying to them that he was death but he was being sarcastic.  At the end of the story the three men thought about killing each other. Two of them killed the youngest boy with a sword and a shovel.  The other boy killed them with rat poison. So they all died of greed. They found death but not how they expected.  Death was laughing at them when they died because they found death.

   I think that my work refer back to the standards because it help me understand irony. How death actually being the person they was looking for but instead of trying to fight death they died because of greed. It is ironic that death ending up being the person telling them that they can find death under the tree I was expecting to read something else.
