So, did you finish the paper last night? Mr. Tully really has us working on that final, but I finally finished it! It was kind of interesting, to do some research into the history of Westeros and Essos. I did my paper on the War of Five Kings and the later conquest by Daenerys Targaryen, over 800 years ago. That period of history was crazy! I mean, you had the whole war going on, and then there was that report of weird magic undead wights and that Night King (According to the legends, he even resurrected a dragon! Those people really did believe in some crazy stuff, like weird magics and "Faceless Men"). What was the coolest was to learn about Daenerys Targaryen, and her story of conquering Westeros and much of Essos and ushering in a new age of science never before seen! I still find it crazy that those people used to believe in all that "witchcraft" and "magic", but the legends of Arya Stark killing the Night King and dragons being born from a sacrifice pyre, and such. You did you're paper on the development of deadly weapons, like the machine guns and the atomic bomb, correct? That must have been interesting, especially concerning the Great World War over 90 years ago. Oh, and you have to watch this great new series, called A Throne of Games presented by OBH! Its based off the period of history I've been talking about (though with some historical inaccuracy and embellishment, like people actually fighting ice zombies, which were obviously rumors spread at the time), and it is great! It is partly inspired by Ice and Fire's Song, a historical novel series written by Martin "J" R.R. Tolkien-George. Let me know of what you think of it!
