A Man For All Seasons—Journal For Sir Thomas Moore Essay, Research Paper

It all started with the death of the chancellor of England. This is where my life began. Even though I

was a judge before I now have gotten the chance to be chancellor of England. This is a big step in my life

and I am going to try my best to fulfill my duties for the people and our king.

The ceremony for the crowing of me chancellor was great I got my necklace and now I am fully

chancellor. I can?t express my feelings at this point but it is great to live in England!

________________________________________________________________

Well being chancellor is harder than I first thought. I thought that it would be sort of hard but not all

this! When I wasn?t chancellor I got bribes and everything but know I get orders and alot more. The

King wants a divorce of his wife and marry a new one. I don?t see why he has to do that, faithfulness is

the point of weddings and marriage. But King Henry is my boss and I have to help him.

I can?t help the king, it isn?t right and I don?t care if he hates me for it or what he does. I must stand

by what I say. And I can?t help him.

You should have saw him, he was furious and I have never seen him like that. Not even the time

when he started to get mad at all of his servants. He wants a divorce ? he wasn?t married to her? that?s

what he tells me in a whisper. Well I don?t know what I am going to do.

_________________________________________________________________

Well know I know what I had to do, I left the office of chancellor. It is probably for my own good

because I am tired of getting my life run by someone else. I am just going back to the way things were.

_________________________________________________________________

My old servant Richard Rich is now with some man by the name of Cromwell. These guys want

some answers out of me but I am not going to give them to him. Even if I have to go to jail.

They have thrown me in jail in the London Tower. My life has gone from great to horrible. But I am

still the same man, and I am still not talking to Cromwell.

_________________________________________________________________

My wife and daughter have come to see me for a few minutes and this is great. My wife is so sad

and so is my daughter. But I can?t show them how scared I am, I have to be brave.

They have taken them back and now I must go to court. But before they left I told them this, leave

England, same night, but different ships and harbors. They must do this, they must. They might not

understand but it is for the best.

________________________________________________________________

This is the day of court, a horrible day. I am staying silent about what they ask me and I will say

silent about it. My former friend Richard Rich has just turned on me and said all these lies about what

happened and what I said. I thought he was my friend but now I know what his true colors are.

Staying silent still but they are deciding and they have decided that it is treason. This is the worst

day of my life! I will know die by be heading but I will never forget what happened here and I will

never forget what people did for this. I will know rest in a better place.

________________________________________________________________

This is the day that I am put to death. It will be better this way and I will go on to better things. I

love my wife and daughter and never will forget them.

They are taking me away…..goodbye.
