I think I saw someone, squealed a little girl dashing ahead of her parents. The voices were louder than I remembered. Their footsteps drew closer; I could hear every crunch in the path as they walked. Where was I? Who were they? Why me? These three questions raced through my mind as I laid under a thicket of thorns. I knew that we should not have snuck onto the park, but it was too late now, we were caught. I cautiously turned my head and saw my friend getting ready to make a run for it. I tried to move, but my leg wouldn't budge. In that instant, I freed my leg and ran through the thorns, all the while I dared not turn my head incase of being caught. Once I crossed the brook, I peered back to see if my friend had followed. Once I saw that he followed, I sighed with relief, letting the adrenaline surge out of my body.

The goals of my research paper are to show a connection between merchants and the Age of Exploration, and discover how merchants affected the medieval economy. Also, I will prove that technology would not have progressed and developed at the rate that it did without merchants. To do this, I will focus on how merchants in the middle ages spread foreign cultures; I will mention laws that were passed to help or hurt merchant travel, and how merchants inspired exploration. Facts:     During the Middle Ages, merchants were making a fortune off of trade. Some nobles and other government officials saw this as a way to boost the amount of money that they had. So, they made deals with the merchants, like they would give the merchant free passage and men for a portion of the wealth.

399. How has traveling affected you?

     My family and I have begun traveling more and more as my siblings, and I have aged. These travels have changed my perspective, and introduced me to various new cultures. Last year, we went to Mexico. While in Mexico, I saw how impoverished the citizens of Mexico were. This caused me to be more grateful for things I rarely recognize, like clean water, and it also made me feel obligated to be more generous to others who are in need. When I first went to Mexico, I thought that it would be like any other trip where a tour around and look at various artifacts of historical value.

I think that any trip, no matter the destination, can have a more profound meaning and change the way you perceive various situations if you slow down and take the time to observe the different lifestyle of the people that live there.      Traveling has been something that...
