    This book shows that life in the Middle Ages was difficult and demanding, but it seems a little bit peaceful and serene, too. The main occupations were farming and raising sheep or goats, and there were tradesman in the villages who worked for a living, such as a shoemaker, a blacksmith, and such. Martin Guerre and his family were tile makers, but they also farmed and raised sheep to become relatively prosperous in their small village (Davis 14). The peasants were uneducated, (the Guerre's town did not even have a schoolmaster), and most could not read, and could only write a small amount (Davis 15). They also married their children off very young, and often made matches for them. Martin Guerre married when he was only fourteen, and his wife was even younger (Davis 16). Life revolved around the village, the church, and the family, and it was a very busy but seemingly contented lifestyle.…

    Upon the discovery of Peekay being of English descent, Hoppie does not place the boy’s ethnic origin against him and instead teaches Peekay that having a certain identity that is discriminated against by certain people makes him no less of a fighter than them. The same encouragement is made by Hoppie when Peekay ponders as to how those smaller in size have the ability to win: it is a matter of how one uses their assets to their advantage, rather having their introspection clouded by the disadvantages kept in mind. Furthermore, what Peekay believes to be wrong, such as his perspectives, habits, etc., is proven right by Hoppie. For example, when Peekay allows himself to cry in the presence of Hoppie, the mentor encourages the behaviour and makes a statement along the lines of crying being a healthy behaviour, as nurturing one’s emotional health is of equal importance as the nurturing of one’s physical and mental health. Discriminatory beliefs such as the definition of masculinity being a lack of emotional sensitivity, racism, shown when Peekay was attacked for his ethnic background, etc. induce their eradication from Peekay’s idea of how to be the ideal person. This remains due to the positive mindset of Hoppie bearing a strong influence on Peekay, as the young boy stays very vulnerable at the time due to his previous traumatic experiences. Moreover, the cause of Hoppie's positive perspective is due to his participation in boxing, as he addresses the boxing gloves as the "equalizers": the eliminators of…
