Peasant Wedding, by Brueghel

This painting is very descriptive of pre modern life, and how people had to work together to get by.
This is demonstrated by the multiple demonstrations of people working together. The most prominent of this is the couple taking the tray of food to the table. One would think that they are of a lower class, seeing as they are serving food, but with a closer look, you can see that they are in fact helping out. This can be deduced because of the man who is sitting at the table, and passing the food around to other party goers.

My Expecations

History, for me, has always been lectures and study. Mostly boring, but I was good at it,
so i didnt complain. This year seems like a good one, just from the get go. Mr. Holton has changed the traditional boring class into a hands on class, where you teach yourself, and use modern tech instead of paper and pencil. This year seems amazing, and I cant wait to jump into it.
