John was running late as usual. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't seem to be on time. He had already been late for w

ork twice this week. He couldn't afford to be late again.
John hurried through his morning shower. He combed his hair and brushed his teeth as quickly as he could. Then he ran to his bedroom, threw on some clothes and headed downstairs. It was 8:18. He had four minutes to get to the bus stop.

He bent down to tie his shoelaces, and that's where his troubles began. Whenever John tried to do things too fast, he made mistakes. He tied a thick knot. Then he had to spend precious seconds undoing it and retying it. When he finally finished, it was 8:20. He had only two minutes to catch his bus!

John sprinted out the door and ran toward the bus stop. Normally he took three or four minutes to get there. He clenched his fists and ran as fast as he could.

Answer:

Explanation:

A set point in the historical time line stands as the medieval period. The medieval period in history was the era in European history – from around the 5th to the 15th century, coming after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, and preceding the start of the early modern era. This historical time period has been long since been the victim of film directors and romantic novelists, which has lead to the common, but false, idea of the medieval period consisting of knights and damsels in distress, wizards and dragons, and castles and battles. Although mainly wrong in most parts and being highly historically inaccurate – some aspects of the dramatic works do play true to the original time period.

Another relevant role of the medieval period was the development of parliament later in the period. It is of high relevance to society today – as the controlling force of the country arose from the proposed council of 25 (Magna Carta) and developed into the fully fledged House of Commons and Lords that we know today. Magna Carta also played other, hugely influential roles in the world as we know. The first written constitution is very important in America – with the declaration of independence, signed in ... - being based on this very document. However, the Magna Carta was not always this important, as it was annulled by Pope Urban shortly after King John signed it.
