    In the 1300s a scholar named Petrarch created the term "Dark Ages" for what happened in this period. I do not believe it should be called the dark ages. The term dark ages did not describe the whole time period, but only a part of it. I believe the monks kept the light of the Romans to protect. Document Ds title is "Medieval Economic Laws" and document E's were "The Rise of Universities" which shows it was a time for law, order and education. I believe Europe is in a period of growth because even though they had a great decline, they still grew a lot between 794 and 1345 AD.…

    Why would historians keep such a revolutionary time in the dark? The Middle Ages were a revolutionary time that changed history forever and was very influential still to this day.

The source gives accounts of three people in particular, GeoffreyChaucer, William Langland, the pope, and a group of people the “flagellants”. With all of these people there is an example of what benefit came out of their suffering of the Black Death.Geoffrey Chaucer experienced the effects of the plague so greatly that he “incorporated the theme of the Black Death into his literary masterpiece The Canterbury Tales” (paragraph 4), a book that is studied and has an influence even after that time period.

He like several others thought that they were headed in the right direction with all of the positive changes going on all around with the addition of the railroads, factories, and steel mills. Unfortunately, everyone didn’t benefit from those changes, in fact most of them suffered even more due to the long hours of work with hardly any time off.

    In my opinion the Gilded Age is the birth of the major middle class and creation of leisure activities. This era is responsible for the community attractions such as amusements parks, vodvial theater, movie theaters, circus, and the development of new sports. The growth of industry and a wave of immigrants marked the period of the Gilded Age. Wages were higher than that of European contraries and people for the first time had a disposable income which explains the expansion of leisure. The Gilded age named by Mark Twain is because on the surface things seemed great, but when you pulled back the curtain of the the household names such as: John D.
