Battle of Hastings

It took place on 1066, it was part of the Norman Conquest of England.

This battle was between Duke William II (Norman-French Army) and King Harold II (English Army). As all wars, in the battle field they found a lot of confusion and with all the confusion Harold received an arrow in one eye.

The battle finished and William became king of England.

My opinion


I don't like violence, wars, and all those things. I think that any problem can be solved with a talk, but I also know that they used to solve problems with violence, and I mean every problem, even love problems were solved with a fight.

I didn't remember all this part of history, actually I have a really bad memory talking about dates, events and names in some cases. I discovered the "Bayeux Tapestry" that it's a piece of fabric with all this battle, maybe you can think: a piece of fabric? But it's really beautiful. It is very detailed, the grass, eyes, also all dead people, people without head, arms, etc.

Why is baseball a metaphor for life?

I think it's because we have a lot of chances and there will be some times that we can make the right thing; also we have, as in baseball, stages in our lives.
