What I Believe in

I believe in fighting for my rights.

A few years ago, when I was 11 years old or close to that, I had a fight with my brother. My brother and I started fighting because my brother "accidentally" hit me. I got angry and hit him back "accidentally", which angered him. He kept hitting me constantly, which angered him even more. So, we kept hitting each other and somehow, it ended up in a big fight. Because he was two years older than me, I lost.

A few days later, my brother, again hit me “accidentally”. This, again, angered me and I fought back. The whole thing repeated, and I once again found myself beaten up. This happened several times, and every time my brother disturbed me, I fought back.

After that sort of a fight took place many times, my brother seemed to be tired of me fighting back at him. Soon, he gave up and stopped bothering me. If I didn't fight back, my brother would have bothered me, maybe for the rest of my life. But because I did fight back, my brother grew tired, that he stopped disturbing me.

There were and still are many people who fight for their rights. 200 years ago, people of America thought that they were being treated badly. Under the command of Washington, the Americans won against the English army, which was known to be the world’s strongest, and created the strongest country of the 21st century. Vietnamese people’s thoughts were taken over by communism. People of Vietnam wanted communism. Even though this was only from their ignorance, they fought when their right of choosing what they wanted was taken away by the USA. They, people of a small country in the middle of nowhere, fought and won against USA, one of the two strongest nations in the world.

I believe might should not be used to suppress others. I believe that if it is, it should be fought against, for rights of people. I believe that if it is, people will achieve their goal.

1066

1066 is about a war that took place in 1066. The war that changed the blood of english kings. It is about the time when England had to face two invasions. One from south, and one from east. First, king Hardrada stroke england, and was killed in battle. Next, sir Willium of Normandi invaded the southern area of england, forcing king Harrord of england march hundreds of miles to reach willium's forces. Due to Willium's plans and exustion of Harrord's army, Willium won, and Harrord died in battel, with an arrow in his eyes.

Some things that I realized through this game is that the army morale is very important in wars. At first, without this knowledge, I hired many archers and some close-range fighters. I kept marching and shooting, and the enemy taunted me, so my army's morale fell badly. But, I did not know how bad it could be, so I let them be. Then, when both army's collided, I realized that my troops were always running away, even when they were in large numbers. So, the next round, I hired 5 close-range warriors, and 8 archers. All the archers kept shooting, while others taunted the opponents. Their morale fell rapidly, and by the time enemy forces were close to mine, their morale was 1, making every troop hit b arrow run away. When their morale reached 0, due to my taunting, they lost and I won.

In order to win this game, you must remember the importance of army morale. I f you do, you will have no problems beating the hardest levels
