So Everyman. I figured out that he is asking people to accompany him to his death, and I'm fairly sure that by accompanying him the person would die as well. So I'm predicting that Everyman will go alone, or that this is a test of God, and those who do not give up their life to help Everyman will die. I think that would fit with God's disappointment with everyone.
Plot wise, Everyman meets Fellowship, who is a very caring and supportive person, and I think symbolistically meant to be one of Everyman's freidnly relationships (which is the definition of fellowship). And while Fellowship promises Everyman that he will support him and follow him, and even mentions staying with him until he dies, Everyman asks him to keep to his promises and actually follow him. Fellowship refuses saying he was only acting in a polite and socially acceptable way.
I think that one convention of this play is that while characters' names suggest at their character traits, the traits are very shallow, like Fellowship who has fellowship towards Everyman, but its lost once Everyman actually needs him. but I need to read more to see if it's a consistant convention.

Today we continued our history lesson, and I was surprised how much I kind of remembered about Greek/Roman times, because we barely wnet over that in freshman year history, and besides that I haven't learned about Grrek/Roman time since almost 6th-7th grade. I took notes and partook in our discussion, also I knew a lot of the cities and countries that we went over.
