I also chose the key term that inspired them. I chose the telescope because the telescope was key for the improvement of the astrological beliefs.

//**A bit more about: Albrecht Durer**//

Born in Nuremberg Germany, he was the son of a goldsmith. He wrote many diary entries and many letters to make him one of the people most known in the renaissance.He as well made many self portraits at certain ages so we can track his life. We even know where he is buried and where his house is (it is a museum). He is one of the few people that we can know that well. He made many books and published works even on art! he explained beauty and things with no beauty. He also wrote on geometry and perspective with the human body. He made many oil paintings and he would be one of the few to have realistic watercolor paintings in nature. He also made woodcuts with Greek, roman, and christian religion. He may of believed martian Luther. (Hutchison, Jane Campbell. "Durer, Albrecht." //World Book Student.// World Book, 2012. Web. 3 May 2012.) (Wikipedia contributors.

1.Growth of city-states:I think that Maria's post of food had to do with the grown of city states because food would be used for trade and to sell. 2.Humanism: I think that Marshall's picture of musicians has to do with humanism because humanism thought that anyone was capable of great things. 3.Travel and commerce: I think that Kevin's picture had to do with travel/commerce because someone could travel from one city to the other selling/buying to earn money/ gain something. 4. Achievements: I think that Rachel's picture has to do with achievements because many pieces if literature was written as a achievement during he renaissance.

1. This paragraph shows what goes into the renaissance. It shows the renaissance as a flowering plant and humanism as the sun. Growth of city-states feeds it, and trade waters it. It was made on the dirt europe. This is realistic because he 'dirt' europe was the base and setting for the renaissance.

2. Renaissance-This plant symbolizes the renaissance and its beauty. Humanism- This is the sun and humanism made the Renaissance grow faster. Art- These flowers were the beauty and the most noticeable part of the 'plant'. In this way the art of the renaissance was the most noticeable part of the renaissance next to the science/learning Learning-This was in the same way as the art in the renaissance/flowers in the plant. Trade-In the image it was the 'water' for the plant and the and the reason that Europe's renaissance spread so quickly. City states- This was the seeds for the plant and allowed the renaissance to spread to cities. Medieval europe- this was the dirt and the literal foundation for the renaissance. Classical- his was the roots of the renaissance and influenced the renaissance Europe - this also impacted the renaissance.

I researched Leonardo Da Vinchi's inventions and paintings. He wrote all notes in backwards English and he made many things. He made a machine gun musket, a glider or three, a siege weapon and was a great artist.

 * __ Medieval ages Diary: The life of a knight __**

My character is Roger English, a knight living in a Kingdom in England with Germanic Descent. He wears knight armor with a red shield and a long sword. He has an Older Brother named Lord English (the reason That R. English did not inherit the thrown), who rules the kingdom that R. English fights for. He is 5 foot age 25 with brown hair. Lord English rules by London. He lost most other Family members to a Viking attack. Also carries a spear. With Germanic descent when I heard that Rome had fallen I was somewhat proud. I thought that countries/territories would learn how to get along and that the Muslims were done with their attacks. I was quite WRONG. Warring countries made peacetime VERY, VERY, short. Knights were called in often to defend/invade other countries. This started Feudalism, the social and political class. First The King, then the nobles, then the knights, and lastly the peasants in the system. It was started on a need for protection. This started fiefs; they were the lord’s area of control. Also a manor would house the lord and would serve as a fortress in an assault. I was 7 so I watched eagerly with my wooden sword and leather armor as they rode off to wars and such. Missionaries came from all around to try to convince people to join Christianity. Even though my castle was Christian they still came. THEY WERE SO ANNOYING. I thought with my strong castle that I was invincible. My brother Lance England thought so too. One day Vikings came with their ships and destroyed our army. They killed many people including my parents, uncle and Lord. I was younger than Lance so he became the next lord. Lord English was my brother, I thought proud lee yet sad. My family was dead and the castle in ruins. While the castle was being built me and Lord English were sent to a Monastery. The monk’s rules were strict and hard. We were yelled at many times and had no enjoyment there. We wanted the castle back. But for monks it was harder. They could have no personal/worldly belongings. If any was discovered they would be removed. Later the castle was repaired and we left (Burstein, Shek, 2006. P.254-258). Lord English is stressed lately because of certain events. He told me at dinner that the pope controls the church or EVERYTHING pretty much. The pope is called GOD’S representative on earth. He could wright a letter called a Bull. It would define the churches policy. Also the pope could tell if someone is working against the church, punishable by EXCOMMUUNICATING, which means that he could cast someone out of the church, thus ending their dreams of going to heaven. The king was angry that the pope had so much power. The kings could control by alliances and warfare. The Holy Roman Empire had an emperor, or the protector of the pope. But in the 900’s the emperor thought that he should have all authority and that he should not need to get permission and help from the pope. Anyway the popes thought that he should be able to get control over the eastern bishops. Pope Leo IX thought so (Pope Leo the 9th) the byzantine patriarch Michal Cerularius thought NO! He was excommunicated in 1054 and this was called the great Schism. It made the difference between the Orthodox and the Catholics parts of Europe. It made the Roman Catholics and the Orthodox Church. But in 1073 Pope Gregory VII (7) thought that Emperor Henry IV (4) should be removed. He excommunicated him. Henry later stood in the snow outside of the castle to stay in power (The pope had told nobles to overthrow him). He was forgiven and the pope proved his power. Pope 1, emperor 0. After that in 1122 a new pope and emperor made a compromise that the pope chose bishops and abbots but they had to obey the emperor. Pope 2, Emperor 1. Sadly it was not the end of conflict.(Burstein Shek 2006 Pg. 260-263) A couple days ago one of the veteran knights (My uncle) came back from the crusades in the holy land, also known as Palestine, with one less arm than when he left. He said that pope Urban 2 told him that he would go to heaven GARINTEED! How awesome is that! It was a call to arms for most crusaders. Sadly, he said that his crusade was not the first and that many people died on these crusades. The first was a failure with peasants attacking Jews in Germany. The second crusade as well as the third falied.He was on the last, the many crusades. Jerusalem was still with the so-called ‘devils’ and that king Richard (Third Crusade); the great ‘lion Heart’ was dead. But on the bright side, we learned of good foes such as Saladin, we learned about the Muslims and stopped thinking that the Muslims were devils. . And also there were 4 main crusades, plus others, and yet the holy land was never in our hands for long. Apparently getting there was long and deadly, our armor was too hot, we were outnumbered, and our kings were bad. In the end Christian Pilgrims were allowed into the holy land. All during this I had no idea that the crusades even were important! I NEED to leave the fief soon. (Burstein, Shek, 2006. P.264-268) A couple days ago I went to a monastery. I just wanted to see the place with its famous Gothic Architecture. It also had its own system of power that was different from a Feudal pyramid. I was told of friars, people who were from the religious order (people who follow and dedicated their lives to religion) but were among the public, and how they roam around and are also known as beggars. Also Clergy (Church officials) taught Christianity. There were 2 important people that I learned of too! One was FRANCIS OF ASSISI, a man who made the friars and an organization named the Franciscans. Also I found that THOMAS AQUINAS who was part of the other organization (the Dominicans) in the University of Paris and thought that thought could help church belief. He also thought that god made an order called the Natural order that classified how life should be. (Burstein, Shek, 2006. P.269-274) Hurray! Hurray! I came back from the dining hall with a headache and a sleepy body. I was celebrating on the MAGNA CHARTA! It was a document that states several things: that king John must have limited power or he will be removed from office and that the nobles have increased power. Also it made unjust jail terms bad and against the law. King John was forced to sign it, and it started the frame for parliament. It also was a foundation for the rights of citizens. (Alchin) My reaction to the Announcement of the Hundred years war can be summed up by the word RATS. I thought that it could not have been worse. I was right for once. It was between France (with the LADY Juan of Arc who we killed laterJ) and England (I fought for them!). New weapons were invented and introduced into combat. And the war also crushed many towns and men. The war was 125 years long, and in the end the English were gone from France. In result of the war the king lost power and the lords/parliament gained power. In France it was the opposite. Juan of ark made French victory possible and inspired nationalism. (Burstein, Shek, 2006. P.278) ** ENTRY SEVEN: ACURSED RATS! ** The black death… it was a horror because we could not do anything to fight it… people lived in such bad living conditions it was not surprising to me that many peasants died. People thought that it was the apocalypse and ran to other cities spreading it further. Also people think that sailors and traders got it first and I noticed that dead people had flea bites. People died quickly and it nearly 1/3 of Europe died (Justin). People from other cities say that there were not any people left to bury the dead. Also Lord English sent special carts to find bodies. Lastly people went to the cities and left the manors because of it. (Burstein, Shek 2006. P. 279-281) The first thing that was an issue for me in my visit to Spain can be summed up by this sentence: I DON’T SPEAK SPANISH. So this may be an issue for me trying to get info in the Spanish inquisition for Lord English. So I went into the local ‘tavern’ to see what I can learn. IT WAS HARD. People thought I spoke Spanish, people speaking Spanish because they know I can’t, and people speaking bad English just to annoy me or because their English was terrible. However, eventually I found some people with good English and helped me with my issue. Here we go: The church around Europe was getting bad, with priests trying to get money and not religion. People started to preach/teach/practice their own religion. This was called HERESY, and was a crime. People were accused and were tortured until they admitted guilty. This made the discrimination of Jews even harder. Even if they were not. This method in Spain was chosen by the Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand, who also made states do the most efficient work possible for them. ( Carroll and "Country facts the world at your fingertips.”)In France and Spain people fought to drive Hersey’s out of their land. In Spain the Reconquista was a warlike campaign to take back Spain from the Muslims. In 300 the Muslims in the moor were nearly out. Spain became Christian. The Spanish inquisition was next. Jews were slain and burned; other people who were not Christian were slain. Over 3,400 died in Spain and Portugal. (Burstein, Shek 2006. P. 282-285) Well, I have not written in this for a while… The world has changed in so many ways… I’m not sure that I can sum it all up. I guess I should just say how life is at the end of the age after the middle ages Christianity has become a major influence for kingdoms, and the feudal system has failed or has become less prominent. Also the manors had also become less common because of the growing towns. The great achievements of the Roman Empire were not in the best state. England was becoming a parliament ruled area and France had become a king ruled country. The area is now divided in countries and states. Monks had gothic architecture monasteries and churches. Monks make great works of art. . That is the best I have. All references used

Chivalry was a moral, religious, fighting, and life code by the time it was stopped. It told them to be honorable, Honorable, respect other knight’s honor, and protect civilians. You should serve your lord. It also told them to be humble yet brave and loyal.

__**My reflection:**__ I could of had more practice and emotion, as well as facts. Also I could try to cure my stage fright. I did good in my writing.

The American people/government should see the problems that Rome had, and see how to fix the problems. Also they should see What the Romans did to "fix" the problem and not try those mistakes. Cartoon 1) Unemployment, because there are people lining up for a not-so-high-paying jobs. The US is loosing jobs because of foreign production. The Romans lost jobs because of mass farms and solders.
 * What can the American Government and people learn from the fall of Rome?**
 * Learning From The Fall Of Rome**

Cartoon 2) This represents inflation, one of the reasons Rome fell. The Roman coin inflated so badly that Romans eventually paid mostly everything in housing and food. The US dollar is slowly losing it's value. Like in the comic, the meat slice went from 1 Lb. for $3.00 to one slice for $6.00.

Cartoon 3) This Comic represents Military spending. The US spends Large amounts of money on defeating terrorism, and trying to defend America. The Romans lost currency on large amounts trying to defeat Barbarians, and eventually they needed Germanic farmers to make the food Solders should of been farming.

Cartoon 4) This political cartoon represents decline in morals and values, because the people are yelling, cursing and having 'fun' watching people brutally fight. This has become a normal thing in America. The Romans also had a form of this, fighting in the COLOSSEUM. If the ground had too much blood on it then sand was pored on it. if the crowd complained on the dead carcass smell, then they dropped perfume on the crowd.

Descriptions: The Romans robbed and became bandits without caring and watched people die for fun. if there was too much blood in the Colosseum than a new layer of sand was dropped in the arena and perfume was dropped in the crowd. The emperors and empresses spent much money on parties were they drank and ate until they were drunk/ill. Compare to the united states: Now days Americans Curse and say/see inappropriate things without caring and see Brutal MMA fights. A simple Google search will prove it. some people die or are mortally wounded in these fights and many people come to watch them. Description: The water pipes leading to rich people were lead, and people drank lavishly. The blood and death in the coliseum spread disease along with bad living conditions. Disease killed many Romans and the death for rich people was also high. Compare to the united states: Over 60% of America is overweight and many people are drinking to get drunk, and smoking is a big problem. many people are sick and disease is also something to worry about. Descriptions:the praetorian Guard picked the emperors and in 186 the emperor sold the thrown. 25/37 emperors were assassinated. The guard would frequently pick one of their own or someone who was not fit for office. America: American officials are slowly getting corrupt, and people are complaining about voting issues. Many people think the candidates are just doing this for the money. Most Romans when unemployed became bandits and thieves. the emperor had to import grain to pay them, And large farms put smaller farmers out of operation. America: many people are unemployed and money is required to keep these people feed and housed.They are not looking for jobs, and finding a job is dependably hard. the romans suffered from inflation, starting at once Marcus Aurelius left office. Eventually due to the lowering amount of gold coins and the rising amount of prising, everything was paid in vegetables, clothing, and housing. America: the dollars value is slowly going down and many items are more expensive then they were in the past. so the dollar is not the economic power it used to be. The roman housing was cheep and not safe. If they could not pay the bills than they were kicked out. The higher and least safe buildings were for the poor. America: As factories and other production move to other countries, people and jobs leave America and abandon neighborhoods. The Romans spent large amounts of money on public works. Sadly, they relied on animal and human labor. They were not able to find a reliable way to produce goods, and taking care of these works was expensive. America: The american products are cheep to produce and are of very low quality because of bad production techniques. The Romans could not pay off the army/guard to defend themselves, and the food cost was so large that Germanic farmers were imported. they added to the internal problems. America: even with our HORRIBLE economy the US spends $36.7 billion (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_budget_of_the_United_States) on wars/military. $70 billion worldwide is spent on protecting the populist from 1997-2007. The Romans were constantly raided and looted by barbarians. Rome was exhausted of it's me and resources. They had to hire mercenaries and men were brought away from farms and other area's. America: terrorist's and their prevention is depriving the us of money and weapons, like the Romans were. Most Americans are in fear about these attacks.

 * 1) Barbarians
 * 2) The Barbarian tribes were the leading cause of the fall of Rome. The barbarians destroyed Roman farms depriving them of the much needed food, destroyed buildings and killed solders. The tribes put pressure on the empire because it could not defend themselves. The attacks slowly drained Rome of all that it had.
 * 3) The US lost 3,292 people to terrorism from 1970-2007 ( http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/cross-check/2011/09/07/did-the-u-s-overreact-to-the-911-attacks-undoubtedly/). It does not seem like a larger number. But, terrorism and it's prevention have spent $70 billion per year countering terrorism worldwide(http://www.nato.int/docu/review/2008/04/AP_COST/EN/index.htm). A average terrorist attack is $150, but average kills 12 and spreads fear, plus it destroys more than that in damage.. Sadly, more bloodshed increases more we try to fight it.

This represents Buddha because it says that when you desire, you lose sight of what is truly important //("When one desires, one loses sight of what is truly important.")// , and this is a Buddhist practice. Also, it is a Buddha practice that you should overcome desire and to follow the eightfold path. This must be a Taoism because it has green waves, that symbolize nature. As well as the Red-Blue is like a good evil, and nothing is completely good/evil, using the green/orange to symbolize the equal in everything. The picture is a perfect semitry, and Taoism stressed balance. this symbolizes Lau Zi because it shows a man alone with nature, and Taoism is that you should Balance With Nature. This is Taoism because the two stars symbolize good and evil, and the semitry of the scene are both Taoist practices/belief. Also, the overall simplicity of the scene is showing the Taoist belief that life should be simple, and not complicated. The Waves represent nature and the Taoists stress the balance with nature. This image shows that one boy is respecting a older person. this is Filial piety, rules that Confucius made to respect parents. This represents Taoism because of the nature in the Two mushrooms(is it s mushroom?). the scene is basic and being simple is a Taoist belief. None thought that the doctrine that it represented was different.
