Middle Ages Diary Hello! My name Rolfe Johnson, I was born in and raised in Europe. Life here in Medieval Europe is very harsh. I have a very big family, 2 sons, one daughter, my Wife and I, this makes 5 in all and we don’t have enough money to keep all our family healthy. My wife can barely pay for cloth and materials to make our clothes. We are part of the lowest class here in Europe, and that makes it even harder for us to keep our children with good education. We also don’t have enough money to afford a nice house, even though we work very hard all day. The best house we could get is cruck house, these were made of wood and our houses are glued with mud and manure. What is good about our house is that if something bad happens in our house the repair if very cheap.

The greatest achievement of Islam was their Religion because, that's the way Muhammad claimed as a way of communication and because that's the way he lived. Another reason why that could be the greatest achievement was because not only was it Muhammad's way of living but also other people's way of living too. Many people followed Muhammad's beliefs, this spread was caused, because Muhammad invited people to go to the Mosque so they could all communicate and pray there. 5 Pillars of Faith. 1.) Pledging the Faith. 2.) Prayer five times a day. 3.) Charity to the poor. 4.) Fasting during the month of Ramadan. 5.) Pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. Muhammad is the 5th prophet of god, and he brought that religion to Arabia.

Maria Bahena 01-24-12 A. They could have learned that if their economy was bad because of money issues they shouldn't waste money or put higher prices so that their economy won't be as bad as the Romans.

Learning from the Fall of Rome. 1. Unemployement because on the window they are asking for help and there's a long line waiting tyo get a job. 2. Inflanation, because the image shows how the lower prices were crossed out and they marked up the price to something more expencive just like it was during inflanation times. 3. This cartoon best reffers to the Military spending because they wasted most of their money on unessessary things and that's one of the reason people started losing jobs and money. 4.

Maria Bahena 1-23-12 9 Theories- Decline morels & values: There was a lot of crime, violence and the emperor just loved to waste all the money on unnessesary things. Discription: The Emperor liked to waste the money on parties and feasts were they ate until they were very sick and stuffed from so much food. Public health: They had many enviromental health. Description: Wealthy people had the choice of having their water be carried by lead pipes, but there was also aquaducts. They were used well, and they purified water. But yet they thought lead pipes were more preferable. Political Corruption: It was very hard for the Romans to find their right Emperor, because they didn't have a system to help them. Description: Unemployment: Description: Inflanation: The Roman Empire suffered a lot about this issue, which is the increasing of prices. Description: This suffering issue began after the reign of Marcus Aurelius, because the flow of gold in the Roman economy decreased a lot, once the Roman stopped conquering. Lots of this gold was used by the Romans to pay luxury items. Urban Decay: Description:Romans that had lots of money lived in nice homes called Domus. Lower level class people lived in apartments, and the higher you had to climb to get to your apt. the lower the cost was, but having it cheap didn't mean they were nice! If you didn't pay your rent they would force you to move out and live in the streets were many criminals lived !!

4. Do you find any similar things between unemployement in other contries besides U.S ? What do you think was a reason why the Roman weren't really keeping track of their crimes ?

1. Post the biggest reason for the Fall of Rome- I think the biggest reason why Rome fell was because of the Barbarian invasions and because of isolation. 2.

Maria Bahena 12-03-11 Japan Mapping Questions. 1. They could have sailed to many ships at once or they could get really addicted to seafood.] 2. I think Honshu was the center of Japan. 3. These mountains were just so big they kept different parts of Japan far from each others and it made it harder to go from one place to another. 4. If they have too much, they would want to have trades because if not then there would be lack of agricultural land, and food. 5. I think it would be a good place for a capital because it very close to a place were ships can be hold and were there's a lot of water. 6. Most people in Japan live in The Canto Plain. 7. I think it is very popular there because, Tokyo is there and Tokyo is very good in population and it is also close to a coast, which means they sell many types of Seafood there. 8. China and Korea were two places that influenced Japan a lot. Some things to point out, the earliest Japanese writing used Chinese characters. The ideas of Confucius and Confuciunaism were a a lot of help to Japanese culture and family life. Another thing, Buddhism came to Japan from Korea. Japan sent representatives to china and Korea to learn their ways and of living. They also inivted people from Korea and China to live and move in to Japan to learn their ways of living.

Maria Bahena 11-14-11 Justifications Confucious #1- The quote that I wrote goes with Confucious because he taught about respecting elders and ancestors because they are a gift of life. Laozi #2- My second quote was about Laozi because he was the one focused more into living free and viewing things the simple way and so my quote explains to live the best you can because everybody has the time to die but not many have the gift to live. Buddha #3- This is my third quote and it represents Buddha because he was the one that taught that suffering was a normal part of life, and my quote says that it’s okay to suffer because everybody suffers you just have to find the right things worth suffering for!

Wrong Justifications- Bria was right about her definition about my quote number 1 but she didn't really let me know what quote she was really talking about because she put "Maria # 1 " and then wrote maria's __second__ quote!

Guess Who? Doctrines & Justifications- 11/14
 * Kevin #2**. I think this is Confucious because, he was focused on respecting others but specially elders, and kevin's drawing says respect elders.
 * Savanah # 2**. I think this quote is from Laozi because, savanah said "Keep things simple..." in a part of the quote and Laozi was very focused on teaching how to live life simple and just let things go with the flow.
 * Perla # 1**. This image demonstrates, the good eating the bad which I think represents Laozi because after all of his teachings the thing he taught the most was about the Negative and Positive and in this picture it shows both the negative and the positive, but the positive eating the negative, which tells us that if the positive fed from the negative they both need from each other. Also because Laozi taught how to live simple and this picture just swallows all the bad and lives happy.
 * Anna # 1**. I think this image explains the way Buddha looks and how even though his teachings were about how part of life is suffering he was still very happy.
 * Anna # 2**. I think this image represents Laozi because Laozi taught about the negative and the positive and this picture shows how the negative joins in with the positive and the positive joins the negative which means to me that we all need a little bit of each and that negative can't live without positive and positive can't live without negative.
 * Trina # 2**. This illustration shows how if we treat elders the way we want to be treated they are going to help us out when we are in need of help. This is what Confucious taught he taught about treating elders the way we want them to treat us back.

11/13 3 Products- 1. “Listen to your elders, when you don’t obey, you’ll regret!” 2. "You should live life the best you can bacause everybody dies but not many people live !" 3. "Just live life as happily as you can, because everyone suffers you just have to find the right things worth suffering for!"

Maria Bahena

1. I think this means that if there's times when you feel bad to just act like nothing is wrong and turn to the world like if you were happy. I think Laozi said this because it says to turn from the negative and live happy. So Laozi's way of doing things were like simply viewing things rightand making life happier.
 * Quotes- 11/6**

2. What this means in my opinion is like the "Golden Rule";

treat others the way you want to be treated. I think Confucios said this because, Confucios was fucos on respect for

others, especially for elders and parents. So I think the "Golden Rule" would best fit under Confusanism.

3. I think this is Buddha's quote. First reason why I think this is because, Buddha talks about life and in the quote he talks a

bout water which is part of life. Second Because, it talk

s

about how water settles were none will like to be, and Buddha used to teach about how suffering is a normal part of life, and i

t 's all to be respected.

4. This quote talks about traquility and how simple life should be. I think Laozi said this, because Laozi was the one that t

aught how we should like a simple, right and proper life.

5. What this quote means is that the more things they ban the less things we will be able to do so the more bad people t

here will be, I think

Maria Bahena 11/4 6 Achievements. 1. Paper was an achievement to the Chinese because they made their own paper and it is still used now. 2. A compass was an achievement because they inented it and they used it to guide them

Maria Bahena 11/3 Poem

Emperor Lee learned how to drink tea, and everyone else copied her tea. People covered in weapons, with gun powder in their rockets, getting set to shoot their rockets with paper in their pockets. They also had a compass, in case they lost their bus pass,.. but guess they'll never lose their bus pass cause' all they had was compass. They sailed their ships from side to side, and saw the sky from night to night. Gun powder was used in fireworks, as well as used on fire-trucks. Marco visited Peking and was treated like a king, and he also made a friend and I guess he said "Hi." His name was Kublai.
