My Prisioners Story:
**Bill Nuget:** I stood there facing too many men. It just shouldn’t be like this, I thought. I stand and stare into each and every prisoner eyes feeling shame as they bodies sway from side to side. I feel sick to my stomach. Feeling uneasy I turned to look at the other soldiers, all of them loading up their rifles except one, Walter Dury.’ I won’t do it’, he screamed. It was when that was said Walter Dury dropped his rifle and bolted, running clumsily towards the woods. I yelled to him in my trembling voice. ‘Come back. Don’t risk it. You won’t know what will happen after. Come back!!!This funning feeling made me want to run away as well but I knew I couldn’t risk it. I didn’t want to kill these prisoners there was no need too, they were unharmed, young and didn’t have any intentions of killing us anymore. The prisoners hopelessly and nervously stood there unable to change the situation that they found themselves in. I knew it wasn’t right to do this. Then, soon enough Sergant Pelton gave the brave signal to fire. I started shooting with guilt. Bullets sprayed everywhere from left to right. I aimed to the right, away from the prisoners. I made sure it was impossible for me to shoot, now, the dead prisoners. The men seem to go down quick but not quick enough so I can remember the horrible sight of these cruel actions. Each prisoner dying in dramatic style. Who knew what was ahead for us, I thought.

My Bayeux Tapestry Report:
T h e B a y e u x T a p e s t r y

__About the Bayeux Tapestry __ Who made the Bayeux Tapestry and why? The tapestry was made by English nuns two years after the battle of Hastings, made from 1068 - 1077. The Normans gave instructions and pictures to the nuns to sew it. The Normans designed the tapestry to show their version of the battle of Hastings to make to make it loud and clear that the Normans had the right rule. It was designed in a way where the tapestry consisted of both writing and drawing so anyone, even if they could not read or write had an understanding of the story. The tapestry was first thought to be shown to the public in 1077. Is the tapestry a reliable source? The Bayeux tapestry may be quite a reliable source but it was told by the Normans as they wanted people to see it, so some of it may not be true. The Normans wanting to make sure even if you couldn’t read that everyone would be able to understand the story as the Norman s wanted it to be told. It was there version of the story.

__What kind of evidence is the tapestry? __ The Bayeux tapestry consists of both primary and secondary evidence. The primary evidence shows us exactly what the tapestry was made out of and how they made what language they spoke and so on. As for the secondary the evidence the tapestry tells us the Norman version story of the battle of Hastings. In what ways is the tapestry primary evidence? The tapestry can primary evidence as it gives us valuable information like what the tapestry was made out of, what materials they had available, and the language they spoke. The Bayeux tapestry included words from the Latin language to tell the story of the battle of Hastings. The tapestry also gives the obvious evidence of that it was sew together to create this historic story and it was made out of cloth. The materials that were used such as dye to paint the drawings and cloth to sew it. In what ways is the tapestry secondary evidence? The tapestry can be secondary evidence since it is someone telling or recording what might of happened. The tapestry being secondary evidence as well as primary evidence since it is telling us information

__How did Harlold Die? __

First possible cause of death The first possible cause of death was to be believed that King Harlold was shot through the eye with an arrow as some assumed that was shown on the tapestry. The drawing underneath the word ‘Harold’. Earlier in the tapestry King Harold was drawn with his hands on a box which was to be believed to contain bones of a saint saying in front of god that William would be king and later broke that promise. The theory was to be believed that he was punished from god.

‘The King Harold is dead’ Second possible cause of death The second cause of death was that Harold was the figure underneath the word ‘death’. The figure with a arrow through him below a Norman on a horse. This theory more historians believe because the Normans would want anyone who saw this that they killed Harold and were strong. __<span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 14pt; line-height: 115%;">Conclusion __ <span style="font-family: 'Cambria','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 115%; margin: 0in 0in 10pt;">I think King Harold died due to the Normans killing him with a sword because the Normans would of wanted to show that they killed Harold through the Bayeux tapestry. This would make them seem much more powerful and strong. Bibliography Clare, J.D. (1997) __The Middle Ages__, Nelson
