In the 14th century, a horrible disease appeared in Asia, Africa and Europe. The
peeple called this illness the ‘Black Death’. The disease started in Asia in 1340’s. It
spreads soon to Africa and along Europe.
Rats were the animals which carried this illness, caused by a bacterium, but the
people didn’t know it. They though it was a punishment from God for being a bad
person. People believed that they would have the Black Death if they had a bad
behaviour. Additionally, the hygiene was very bad in that times.
Infected people first started to have red marks with dark centres on their arms and
neck. Then, they had high fevers and they got more ill until they die. Other symptoms
of the Black Death included delirium, the victim begin to vomit, to have muscular
pains, bleeding in the lungs and mental desorientation

To cure the Black Death to infected people, their families and friends prayed for them.
People were very Catholic. But these were many treatment like lancing the buboes
they had, had a diet, witchcroft and they had pestilence medice, but usually it was
pointless: this illnesses plage left 7500 people dead in Europe every day.
The decline of the population wasn’t the only consequence of the Black Death. This
plague changed Europe’s social and economic structure. Because of this, the
predominant religion started again to chase after Jews and lepers. The population
were quiet insecure for their lives , they just didn’t know if they could live another day
more. The minorities who were chase, were accused by the predominant religion of
poison the rivers, and to cause scandal in public. They were exterminated. There
were more than 70 million of people who died because of the Black Death. Basically,
the population fell pretty quickly and live in this age was very horrible and difficult.
Looking at this, we can see that the Black Death was the most, or one of them,
disease occur in our history.

personas de una gran calidad humana.

los demás. Entendían todo tipo de armas y las manejaban a la perfección.

que es desterrado por el rey Alfonso VI y hace todo lo posible por recuperar su
honra. Las hazañas de Mio Cid se recogen en el cantar de gesta el Cantar del Mio
Cid,y es el único cantar de gesta casi completo en castellano. Se divide en tres
partes: Cantar del destierro, Cantar de las bodas y Cantar de la afrenta de Corpes.

16. Lengua Castellana: El papel de la mujer en la Edad Media
La mujer en la Edad Media era considerada como un mal y también como la
causante del pecado en el hombre. Arcipreste de Hita, uno de los autores más
importantes de la Edad Media, escribió 'Elogio a la mujer chiquita', en el cual alaba a
la mujer pequeña porque, según él, del mal has de tomar lo menos.
El papel que la mujer tomaba en esta época era el de tener hijos y cuidarlos, además
de encargarse de los labores de la casa.
Solían ser excluidas de algunos eventos, votaciones, acontecimientos,etc... y no
tenían acceso a muchos lugares. Eran totalmente inferiores al hombre y se les
consideraban como un objeto decorativo.
Afortunadamente, hoy en día esto ha cambiado mucho en bastantes países.

17. Lengua Castellana: La Celestina, obra cumbre de
la literatura española
La Celestina es una obra muy importante dela literatura
española. Fue escrita por Fernando de rojas y se trata de una
novela dialogada.
Esta obra trata sobre un joven rico llamado Calisto que se
enamora perdidamente de Melibea, pero ésta no presta
atención en él.
Calisto contrata a una vieja alcahueta para conseguir el amor
de Melibea. Finalmente ambos mueren, ya que Calisto cae
por un balcón y al ver Melibea que su enamorado ha muerto,
decide suicidarse.
En La Celestina hay dos versiones del mundo. En una visión
Renacentista, que es el amor gozoso y sensual, y por otro
lado tenemos una consciencia medieval, que, como castigo
de este amor, los personajes mueren.
El autor emplea dos niveles distintos de lenguaje, uno más
culto cuando son Calisto,Melibea y la familia de ésta quienes
hablan y un lenguaje vulgar cuando hablan los criados y la
Celestina, aunque esto no implica que la alcahueta no usase
un lenguaje más elevado cuando ella lo viese conveniente.
Esta creación literaria se divide en actos y su primera edición
apareció en 1499, en Burgos.
