Renaissance Response

I think that it is a good idea that everyone decided to take on new paths and kind of change their ways after the Bubonic Plague. I definitely think that if I watch a third of everyone around me die, I'd want to make the most of my life. I learned quite a bit about this time from Mrs. Siegmund. We did an exercise where we had a pen and had to copy a passage word for word without making any mistakes, like the monks. It was really hard. This kind of reminds me of the later Glorious Revolution where people started turning away from Catholicism then too. I've always found this era very interesting to read about.
