Huns and Goths

Amminaus wrote about the Huns and Goths ten years after the events took place. Ammianus was prejudice toward the Huns and Goths and it was shown in his writings. His writings show sympathy towards the Goths because they were abused by the Roman gernals. The Huns and Goths are raised to be a race of savage beasts from birth. From the first moment when they exit the womb the baby Huns are marked with an iron so that instead of hair they have scars. The Huns believe it is best to grow up without beauty but rather to be a beast at sight. The Huns are enormous and have short legs so that people might just believe they are a beast or monster of some sort. The Huns do not care about the flavor of the food nor do they use fire to cook it. They would rather eat their food raw and the place the food between their thighs to warm it up a little bit. It seems that the Huns don't care for a life of luxury they rather live like a wild animal in the jungle. They do not sleep under a roof or even on a bed they sleep on their horse which does not seem very comfortable. The Huns live a life that most of us today would not even dream of and I don't mean that in a good way they finally decided to come out of the mountains and take over the lands of the Goths. The Goths were so afraid of this mention of the barbarians (Huns) taking over like a "whirlwind" that most of them fled their homes to find a safe place to hide out. This event was important to know because what if we today were put in a similar situation. We could look back and see what we could do better to handle the situation.
