Event

The big event that occurred during my time period was when the peasants went on strike. My family and friends were there when this happened. This all happened at the market in my town a couple weeks ago. The peasants felt that they weren't getting enough credit for what they do and that they weren't being treated fairly so they went on strike. My parents went to town to see what was going on while I stayed home with my sisters. Later that day my parents came home and said that the peasants had torn the market apart because they felt that they weren't being treated fairly. That next morning on my way to school I went down to the market to check it out, it turned out to look way more horrible than I thought. Others were more devastated, some had lost there shops on the market and others couldn't get what they needed from the market since they had to shut it down while they repaired it. In the end the peasants did get a little more respect but they never really changed anything completely.
