During the 1300's, the English and Scottish faced great enemies in eachother. The English and Scots had extremely different views about the latter. English viewed them as savage, cruel monsters, while the Scots thought of themselves as strong willed relativly decent folks that kept to themselves.
The English see the Scots in the eyes of William Wallace and Robert the Bruce and how they act. William willing lets his people die by the sword and wuns off to save his own life. English see William as a robber, homicide, man who kills children in school houses and churches.
Robert the Bruce is another man of cruelty. He betrays men and tries to assassinate them. The English heard of how he performed wicked and inhumane acts and sacrificed a priest.
The Scots view themselves extremely differently. They think of themselves as an extremely strong willed race who has survived many different countries and people to set up their own country with kings of their own royal stock of one hundred and thirteen. They pray to their God to help them out survive and gain freedom from their oppressors, the English.
The views of the two could not be any more different. The English think of them as hated crual savage beings that need to be brought under rule, while the Scots just want to be left alone and live their own lives.
a) Watch spelling. b) Your thesis statement needs to be one coherent sentences expressing your opinion and setting up your argument. c) Be specific; rule of thumb says if you want to mention "conflict", for example, then you should mention a specific battle. Same goes for any topic.
