- 945: Fahrenheit 451
- Braveheart Essay I think that the movie Braveheart helped us all learn more about the middle ages because it showed the battles and lives as closely as possible.

- ... Gawain and the Green Knight_ presents both a nostalgic support of the feudal hierarchies and an implicit criticism of changes, which, if left unchecked will lead to its ultimate destruction.
