Greg-Diary of the wimpy kid (book) Greg explains throughout the books that he has no strong talents, other than video games and comics. As such, he spends most of his time on them, which deters him away from schoolwork and chores. For a time, he harbored a hope of drawing for the school newspaper, but his comic was bowdlerized by the editor (Mr. Ira). He hardly shows any other talents. However, Greg is probably good at singing, due to the fact that when he was auditioning for the school play, the drama teacher told him he had a nice soprano (high male) voice, and is also good at sewing, but he complains that these talents do not make him stand out. Greg almost always tries to find someone else to put the blame on for his behavior, although he knows that nobody forced or influenced him, other than probably his older brother, Rodrick, to act in this manner. Very few times has Greg actually admitted to being "wrong" in a decision he made and took responsibility for it? It should also be noted that while Greg is arguably a downfall version of Rodrick, he does not have any productive interests and could actually be considered more hurtful than Rodrick!!!! Greg always exaggerates that when he grows up, he will become famous and his diary would be sold for a very expensive price. However, Rodrick always thinks that Greg will be his servant when he grows up. Greg’s life looks very amusing, however, it does not seem rosy when you consider Rodrick’s plans for him. In my opinion, Greg is really funny and naughty which is why he is my most favorite character. He is also the main person of all the books ‘The diary of a wimpy kid’, one of the most humorous books on Earth ever written. Greg feels as if he was being controlled by his parents and other relations. “Greg, you are grounded… you can’t get this for…!” exclaimed Greg’s parents in the diary of a wimpy kid ‘Dog days’ book. Greg’s view about childlife is that ‘you have zero control of it!’
Who were the Anglo-Saxons? In their own lands, most Anglo-Saxons were farmers. They lived in family groups in villages, not cities. Since they lived close to the ocean and huge rivers, lots of Anglo-Saxons were sailors as well. They built wooden ships with oars and sails, for trade and to take roots in new lands.Most Anglo-Saxons were not Christians, although they worshipped lots of gods and goddesses. Their beliefs were similar to those of the Celts, who lived in Britain before the Romans invaded.
Anglo-Saxon life When the Anglo-Saxons arrived in Britain, most kept clear of Roman towns because they preferred to live in small villages. Some Saxons built wooden houses inside the walls of Roman towns. Others cleared spaces in the forest to build villages and make new fields. Some settlements were very small, with just two or three families, so as not to bring up a row with the Romans. People wore clothes made from woollen twill or animal skins. Men wore tunics, with tight trousers or leggings, wrapped around with strips of cloth or leather. Women wore long, flowing dresses. They spun the wool from sheep and goats to make thread, and used a loom to weave the thread into calico. Clothing styles varied from region to region. For instance, an Anglian woman fastened her dress with a long brooch unlike a Saxon woman, who used a round brooch. Clothing also changed over time.
Jobs Men, women and children helped on the farm. Men cut down trees to clear land for ploughing and sowing crops. Other men, who were farmers, used oxen to pull ploughs up and down long strip-fields. Children with dogs herded cattle and sheep, most of the time keeping a lookout for wolves - which still lived in Britain at this time. Some people had special skills. The smith made iron tools, knives and swords, for the men at battle. Woodworkers made wooden bowls, furniture, carts and wheels for the people's homes. Potters made pottery from clay. The shoemaker made leather shoes for them to wear. Jewellers made metal brooches, beads and gold ornaments for rich people, to majestically decorate their classic homes.
Growing up (girls and boys) Anglo-Saxons thought sons and daughters were equally important, but girls' work centred on the home. They learned housekeeping skills such as weaving cloth, cooking, making cheese and brewing ale. Girls and boys collected sticks for firewood, and fetched water from a stream or well. Only a few girls learned to read and write.Because of the Anglo-Saxons different beliefs to modern ones, by the age of 10 a girl was already considered grown-up. Most girls then married, though some became nuns in the Christian Church. Boys learned the skills of their fathers. They learned to chop down trees with an axe, how to plough a field, and how to use a spear in battle. They rowed boats on rivers, went fishing, collected birds' eggs (to eat), caught wild duck in nets, and hunted deer and wild boar with the men. Not many boys learned to read and write. The sons of kings or rich aristocrats might be taught at home by a private teacher. The only schools were run by the Christian Church, in monasteries.
Toys and games Anglo-Saxon toys were usually home-made. Children had wooden and rag dolls, wooden horses and other carved animals, along with toy swords and ships. Children played board games with counters and dice. From finds in graves, and other archaeological sites, we know children had spinning tops, and played tunes on pipes made from reeds or animal bones. They probably practised juggling too - though not with knives, as some men did to show off!
Marriage Women did not often marry men of a higher rank than themselves. A slave woman usually married a slave husband. But people were allowed to choose whom they married, unless the family disapproved. Family ties were very important. A woman was expected to marry a man of whom her parents and brothers approved. A brother would look after his sister if her husband died. Women could own land and leave wills. We know from wills that have survived from Anglo-Saxon times that some women had small libraries of books. A rich woman's possessions might also include furniture, blankets, cups and jewellery, and horses.
Anglo Saxons : The Anglo Saxons were also known as the Jute! The Anglo Saxons tribes were the largest of the 3 attacking tribes. Most of the Jute were warrior-farmers in the North-Western Europe. They were tall hairy men and women, armed with swords, spears and circular shields. They loved skirmishing and they were very brutal.
Why the Jute came to Britain? The Jute came to Britain to invade the Romans. They started invading the Romans when they were in control.
The Anglo-Saxons were a people who invaded Great Britain from the 5th century. They included people from Germanic tribes who migrated to the island from continental Europe, and their descendants; as well as indigenous British groups who adopted some aspects of Anglo-Saxon culture and language. The Angle, Saxon, and Jute are known as the Anglo-Saxons. The Angles and the Saxon tribes were the largest of the three attacking tribes and so we often know them as Anglo-Saxons. They shared the same language but were each ruled by different strong warriors. The Anglo-Saxons were warrior-farmers and came from north-western Europe. They began to invade Britain while the Romans were still in control. They were tall, fair-haired men, armed with swords and spears and round shields. The first Anglo-Saxons raided the shores of south and east England in the fourth century AD, but they were beaten back by the Romans. At the beginning of the fifth century, the Romans left Britain. They had not trained the British to defend themselves and so the next time the Saxons tried to invade Britain they succeeded. It was during the second half of the fifth century that more and more Anglo-Saxons arrived to take land for themselves. It is for this reason that the time of the Anglo-Saxons is usually thought of as beginning about AD 450. I think the Anglo Saxons have a negative influence because they were really evil and conquered many countries just like the Romans. They invaded Britain because they were weak and couldn’t defend themselves and their country. They attacked and murdered them without any mercy and took over Britain eventually. A few positive influences are that the Anglo-Saxons were really brave, resolute and confident. They stood up to challenges of fighting even though they knew that they were going to lose. For example, the Anglo-Saxons knew that they were going to be defeated yet they still went up to face the Romans in a battle.
Anglo -Saxons were a group of people combined the angles and the saxons. There tribes mostly came from Norway,Scandanavia and Sweden.Each country had it's own mixture of people coming from there to settle.It was better weather in Britain.They invaded parts of Northumbria,Wessex,Mercia and east Anglia. They came to these parts because we had more land here and their crops grew more easier here.The Anglo-Saxons had a good influence against us because they didn't come here to fight they came here to survive.There tribes started at a good time because their population started to increase while the Roman era ended in Britain. So they didn't fight.But Normans fought against them to own the land.
The Angles, Saxons and Jutes were people from Denmark and Germany who invaded Britain and settled there between AD450 and 600. They sailed across the sea in their long boats, which had one sail and numerous oars. The Angles settled in East Anglia. The Saxons settled in areas of Essex, Sussex , Middlesex, and Wessex .
The Anglo-Saxons dominated England from roughly 550 to 1066. At first, all of the land was divided into many small kingdoms, but, eventually they developed into more sophisticated ones.
Social Order At the top of the order were the kings, who ruled the land and below them were the Thanes, who advised the king and what to do in the tightest of situations. Below the Thanes were freemen called churls. The lowest people on the social order were slaves, usually caught in battle or too old. Either way, slaves had no rights.
Laws and Government
The Saxon king did not rule alone. He had a council of Bishops and Thanes to help him rule. This was called the Witan or the Witernagemot and sometimes elected the new King. In addition, they also stopped the King abusing his powers. Alfred the Great Alfred the Great ( AD 849-899 ) was the greatest of all Anglo-Saxon King. He became King of Wessex in AD 871 when the Danes had overrrun the following Counties: East Anglia, Northumbria and Mercia. In AD 878, a ferocious "army" of Danish attacks forced Alfred into the area of Somerset marshes. While on the run, Alfred was thought have hidden in a Pigherd's cottage. He was so tired and exhausted he fell asleep by a fire. Not realizing he was King, the Pigherd's wife scolded him. He then discreetly assembled an army and decisively defeated the Danes at Edington. Fun Fact Alfred was Scholar who encouraged learning. He made sure that all young men should learn to read English, and made important books available in English. As you may know now, Alfred was a friendly and wise King who protected the weak from corrupt judges and helped the weak and needy with generous laws.
Legacy Anglo-Saxon rule came to an end with the Norman Conquest of 1066. Did you know that the Battle of Hastings began in this year. Even after this, the Saxons left behind language, culture, and politics of the land.
Rust Rust is like when bread gets moldy except different. Rust is usually used to refer to a very common, reddish-brown compound called iron oxide. Iron oxide is formed when iron and oxygen react in the presence of water or moisture in the air. Iron oxide is very common, because iron reacts easily with oxygen in the air. You can stop metal from rusting by not keeping it outside for too long. (For like outside things made of metal). And also you can keep on using it and take care of it, then it won’t rust as well because the Oxygen (O2) won’t be able to overcast it and then spread the rust from the iron oxide over to other metal materials. (For both inside and outside metal materials). Acid, specifically citric acid or acetic acid, is a great way to remove rust, particularly if it has formed on parts which can be easily removed and soaked. If, say, you want to remove rust from screws, remove the screws and soak them in vinegar. Take a half-litre plastic bottle, and put the screws inside. Pour in enough white vinegar (some say that apple cider vinegar works best, but any white vinegar should work – keep the malt vinegar for your chips) so that it's about an inch above the screws. Put the lid on and shake the bottle. Soak the screws in the vinegar for a day or so, and then pour the vinegar out – use a colander or sieve so you don't lose any screws. If you can't easily remove the rusty components, you'll need to use a little elbow grease to do the job. First, try a lemon or a lime and some salt. Rub the salt all over the rusted area and, when it's thoroughly coated, squeeze the lemon or lime juice onto the salt. Squeeze out as much as you can, then leave it to work its magic for two or three hours. Now you need to scrub it off. You could use a scourer, or even some steel wool. But to avoid damaging the metal any further, it's best to use the rind of the lemon or lime. It's abrasive enough to remove the rust after it’s soaked in the juice and salt mixture for a while, and won't do any more damage to the metal.
The Angle, Saxon and Jute are known as the Anglo Saxons.
The three tribes shared the same language, but were each ruled by different, tenacious warriors.
The Anglo Saxons began to invade Britain while the Romans were still in control. Anglo Saxon invaders had skills such as hunting, farming, textile production and leather working.
Historians are not quite sure, but they think a reason for coming to Britain was either to defend England from Ireland or Scotland, or because their land was often flooded,and it was difficult to grow crops so they were looking for a better place to settle.
The Anglo Saxons wanted Britain because its was a nice piece of land. But when they arrived, the Vikings were there before the Saxons. I think they would make a bad influence on Britain because if the Vikings left, they would have taken lots of the recoursis around them.
Anglo Saxons The Anglo Saxons were made up of a group of German tribes and indigenous British people. The British people made some of the Anglo Saxon culture and language. Some Anglo Saxons came to Britain to fight for more land. Though the others came to live peacefully, everyone lived like this once the wars were over. The Anglo Saxons were a good influence for Britain, as they fought well and had good farm land. The men worked all day so their villages and families could live happily.
Vikings The Vikings were warriors, the Anglo Saxons called the Vikings ‘Wicing’, they were originally named by the Scandinavian sea-borne. The Vikings are known most in the medieval periods. They came to Britain to take over the land, as they wanted the whole world to be under their control. The Vikings invaded Britain for the last time in 1066 to defeat William the Conqueror; the king, unfortunately they did not succeed. The Vikings were not a good influence to Britain as they fought all the time and wanted to take the land. The villages and families did not live as happily as the Anglo Saxons because the Vikings also didn’t grow much food which meant the killed animals a lot.
Anglo Saxons were courageous warriors and terrific farmers from North-Western Europe.Some say that the Anglo Saxons were Invited to Britan to protect them from foreign invaders. But history says the Anglo Saxons wanted to invade Briain and take over.The reason was because in their area, floods were a threat for them because of crops.The crops would die, and they would starve to death.The Anglo Saxons may have thought of Britain in a positive way but suddenly Britain was the enemy because the Anglo Saxons needed their precious land to grow scrumptious healthy crops.
The Anglo Saxons and Vikings are similar because they both invaded Britain but in different times.
Anglo Saxons:
The Anglo Saxons invaded Britain in 450AD, most of them mainly came because Britain was a very rich place and they could grow crops and plants. They came to Britain in a large number of small boats. They couldn't use anything else because the there was no transport then like we have now, there was only small boats.Each group of Anglo-Saxon settlers had a leader or king to rule them
Vikings
The Vikings invaded in 793AD, that was when they took over Britain. When they settled there was laws and rules, if you broke any rules or laws then people would have permission by their king to kill whoever broke the rules/laws. The Viking age ended around the 1100s .
The Anglo Saxons were split into thee groups:the angles, saxon and jutes. They came from countries around england. They came to england because there were better climate to grow crops. They also came to england because their land was flooding.They made a good effect on britan because they made more kingdoms and chenged the religion.
The Romans invaded Britain in AD43. After that, for 400 years southern Britain was part of the Roman world. The last Roman soldiers left Britain in AD 410, and then new people came in ships across the North Sea. Historians call them Anglo-Saxons. The new settlers were a mixture of people from north Germany, Denmark and northern Holland. Most were Saxons, Angles and Jutes. There were some Franks and Frisians too. If we use the modern names for the countries they came from, the Saxons, Franks and Frisians were German-Dutch, the Angles were southern Danish, and Jutes were northern Danish.
Historians are not sure why the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain. Some sources say that the Saxon warriors were invited to come, to the area now known as England, to help keep out invaders from Scotland and Ireland. Another reason for coming may have been because their land often flooded and it was difficult to grow crops, so they were looking for new places to settle down and farm. I think the Anglo-Saxons had a positive effect on Britain because the Anglo-Saxons brought better farming techniques.

They also came to england because their land was flooding.They made a good effect on britan because they made more kingdoms and chenged the religion.
ReplyDeleteThe Anglo- Saxons invaded Britain in 3 separate groups- Jutes, Angles and Saxons. They originally came from Denmark, Holland and Germany.
ReplyDeleteThey went to Britain, because their current homes had flooded. As well as that, they couldn’t farm, as the floods were taking over the crops.
I think they had a positive influence on Britain, because they created amazing buildings, introduced a religion and created new kingdoms.
The Anglo-Saxons
ReplyDeleteThe Romans invaded Britain in AD43. After that, for 400 years southern Britain was part of the Roman world. The last Roman soldiers left Britain in AD 410, and then new people came in ships across the North Sea. Historians call them Anglo-Saxons. The new settlers were a mixture of people from north Germany, Denmark and northern Holland. Most were Saxons, Angles and Jutes. There were some Franks and Frisians too. If we use the modern names for the countries they came from, the Saxons, Franks and Frisians were German-Dutch, the Angles were southern Danish, and Jutes were northern Danish.
Historians are not sure why the Anglo-Saxons came to Britain. Some sources say that the Saxon warriors were invited to come, to the area now known as England, to help keep out invaders from Scotland and Ireland. Another reason for coming may have been because their land often flooded and it was difficult to grow crops, so they were looking for new places to settle down and farm. I think the Anglo-Saxons had a positive effect on Britain because the Anglo-Saxons brought better farming techniques.
