If I were to meet Michel Angelo or Leonardo De Vinci, I would Love to meet Leonardo De Vinci because he was more famous for his work. He created the Last Supper. It was a piece of art work with Jesus eating his last supper before he died. The best part was that Leonardo De Vinci put himself in the picture sitting right next to Jesus drinking a cup of wine. His art work was famous. Another piece of Art work, or I should say the biggest piece of art work that he ever made was the seventeen foot of Mary holding Jesus right after he had been killed. That sculpture took him years to create that work. It was worth it because it is now been put in a museum and is one of the famous art work in the world.
Next Michel Angelo just made a picture of art work of Mona Lisa, she was another famous at work. Probably in tie of the art work of the Last Supper that Leonardo De Vinci had created. Mona Lisa is also placed in the same museum as the one where Leonardo had made of Mary holding Jesus for the last time before he died. Another famous art piece that Leonardo made was Venus, the huge statue of Venus's grave. That was another famous art work because it showed how tall Venus was. It had explainedf that she was a giant, many people believed that Leonardo De Vinci was the first artist to figure out the blending of the skin tone. He was also famous for that because he made his art work lookm really realistic. My Favorite middle ages topic was The Black Death because it was so devastating but still more interesting then the rest of the middle ages topics I've learn so far. The Black death was a sickness that caused nearly everyone to die. It was so effected, the thing that caused this to happen was when the China ship, it had these rats that were infected really bad carrying diseases. First it led down the Mediterraian Sea, Europe was the closest to that Sea so when the China ship had stop to rest from their journey, the rats some how ran off the ships to run around in Europe. This would had never happened. The People in Europe killed the cats in fires to show the symbols of a witch, so they burned alot of witched back then which the thought were witched, so anyways there were nomore cats to eat the rats, so when the rats started to swarm everywhere, they began to reprouce even more effective rats to run around in Europe and more people began to get sick. It started to spread because some people that were inffected move out of Europe which cause the sickness to spread all over even more. Some rats even ran along to different areas and spreaded even more.
Long ago, back In Europe there was a disease called the Black Death. It Was horrible, first it started off in Chine. The rats got infected and they carried the disease. The disease was just so deadly, it almost killed everyone in the whole Europe, Middle Easy, And China. The Black Death starts off by getting infected by the rat, you just a have a fever, then all of a sudden you start to get these warts, so big they look like eggs. They have puss, and blood inside. It is heard that it feels as if someone had put a burning pot on your face and left it there. When the warts pop, you lose a lot of blood.
This Disease went around so fast, mostly everyone started to catch it. When someone had the Black Death, usually they'll fall down and stay down, people would just walk past them and ignore them, they are left to die. Once they die they are thrown in the fire to burn. There were so many wildfires to because when they started to burn people, they burned so much people that the fire got so high. There was no cure for the Black Death, onece you catch it you have it until you die. Some men go around to sell products that actually don't even work at all but will do anything to make people think it works so that they can b Long ago, back in Europe they had crusades. Those are like arguments but between who should rule and who should not. King Henry and Pope Gregory were between crusades, because King Henry got jealous of all the loyal Pope Gregory has been achieving. When Pope Gregory became the new pope because he had permission, everything was fine. Until King Henry got jealous because he had a bigger house, better people who show him more respect. He had more leaders. Then finally, The king didn't like it anymore, he wanted to be the man of the whole Europe and he believed that he should be the only one who should rule so he had his knights to have Pope Gregory be banned from being pope. When Pope Gregory heard about this, he called many nobles who all together were more powerful then the king over throw King Henry out. He didn't want to be thrown out, he wanted to be king until he dies, but Pope Gregory has over thrown him out. With all of that, King Henry still wanted to be king so begged and begged Pope Gregory to forgive him , but he didn't want to. So then King Henry begged and waited three days outside from where Pope Gregory lived, even in the snow and begged. He truely wanted to be king, so eventually Pope Gregory forgave him and gave him permission to be King again, and for that King Henry had to promise not to do that ever again and they became a good team of leading Europe.
There I as laying down in my king sized bed, I've already had breakfast since the servants served me. My Father, was King of Europe. He was so powerful, though he wanted to talk to me about something. He took me out in the back garden, and told me something that I couldn't believe. He wanted me to marry already, I said I was only thirteen though. He didn't quitre agree, he didn't care what I said, he wanted what was best for our family. I didn't even know the boy who I shall marry, my father said that I don't have choice but too marry him.
My father said he lived very far away from where we lived, I didn't want to move away. What if I didn't love this man. My father said I must learn to love because what I would do to marry will make our family more known and loyal and rich. I didn't want to marry though, I was young, I was thirteen. I absolutely didn't want to marry or move anywhere at all. So the night when he said that we were going to pick ut a gown because we were getting married next week, I packed all the things I needed, Though I didn't take any gowns. I ran away. I told him I didn't want to marry at all, especially a man I do not know, a stranger. If he was a man I knew I would marry, and love him with all of my dearest heart. But I didn't so that's what I did. When I ran away, I went to the village, I couldn't get caught so I wore a cape, a beautiful cape that my mother had given me when I was younger. I didn't know where else to go because all my family live in the castle, nor I had much family that lived in the vllgae. I never been out here before so I was terribly lost. When i went to a dark alley, a place where it was quiet, I set my things there and I layed. While rsting with my eyes closed I heard men on horses saying that the princess had been kidnapped. I quickly didn't react but I ran away into the forest. I was scared, everything everywhere was so mistly. Then I saw a black shadow, which I thought was a ghost I ran away, It followed me, chased me. I fell to the ground. There was this boy, he didn't know his name. His mom actually died today which was long ago. He was a poor boy, Of course he didn't know how to read, He didn't have no father niether. His mom was the only guardian he had to protect him. Now he doesn't know what to do because no one will take care of him. For his sake there was this man named John Acliff. He didn't have any feelings nor did he care about the boy. He tried to kill Crispin, but that he knew he should run away. He ran away but not far along, when it reached midnight, he slowly slithered to the church where the priest was. He was the man that helped Crispin bury his mother at the cementary.
He told the priest what John was trying to do, but he already knew. He wanted to help Crispin,so he gave him little bread for food and he left right away to the forest again because John was on his way to the church. Someone told John that they had seen Crispin go to the church so right when he heard that he dashed straight to the church without a single glance back. But before John even got there, Crispin was gone in the woods to run away, Crispin gave one glance back and then saw the priest with a slit in his neck, pouring blood. John killed the priest. When Crispin kept runing, he finally fell asleep in the frest, The next day he woke up he saw a male figure standing in the fog. But then he realized that it wasn't just a old man, it was a daead man. A corpse. He was hanging there, There was a sign there, but Crispin didn't even know how to read so he just took a path that lead to some sun. When he reached this village, it was all torn down, everything collapsed. All of a sudden, he started to he a man singing a tune, so he looked for where that singing was coming from. He realized it was a old man singing, he didn't want the old man to see him so he quietly just looked and stared. The man finally saw him, and put Crispin in a terrible position, he's trapped. While I was working in the fields it was hot a sunny. Usually it wasn't this hot, It wasn't that normal but I just ignored it. Soon after like fifteen minutes, i got kind of tired so I walked back to my village where my little hut was. My hut wasn't much it needed work but At least I had a place to stay.
Sooner, I walked back outside and smelled the air of smoke. I went next door to my neighbors house and asked if they were burning anything because I did need a little wood. I knocked and knocked, no answer. I guess they wern't home so I went to go behind my hut for fresh air to get away from this horrible smell of smoke. When I went to the back, I carried my hoe with me. I dropped it, My eyes were terrified, my hands were trembling, I could hardy breathe. Fire, there was fire heading towards the village, to my home. I knew that if it burnt down my house I will no longer have a home. I was speechless I didn't know what to do. So I ran around to warn everyone about the fire, but no one was there. They all left me here. I wondered if they even cared if they left me, or if they just didn't know I was in the fields working. I couldn't think anymore, so I just ran back in my hut and took everything I could grab and stuff in my bag and go. I was dreadful, I was so sad because I lost my home. Soon I walked and walked and walked and then I found another village, I build myself a little hut and asked some of the villagers if they had any work I can do. They did, I then worked in the fields as I did before. After a while I went to go back to my old village, and what I saw made me sigh. I was heartbrokened because my village. The village I was born in had been destroyed. But only little did I not know, my neew village now, I will start a family and do better Have You ever heard of Charlemagne? Well we, and I mean my class in core learned all about him yesterday. Charlemagne is French, he lives in Paris. He was one of the guys that had to take care of the marriage. To give out money and stuff, from what they earned when they get married. Back then, long ago, When people got married, they got money for getting married. That is why so many people back then were always getting married. They mostly did it for money and land. They did whatever they can so that when they get married, each person can get something for themselves,.
Well Charlemagne didn't like how this was going. He wanted people to marry because of love, not for money, lnd, and all this other things. Charlemagne believed that people should love, and be together instead of not to love. His purpose was really, why would a person get married if they had no feelings towards your mate? Charlemagne wanted to change that, while he was doing his best, he found a beautiful girl. They had love at first sight. Once they got married, everyone knew that he did not only marry her for her money nor she did because she wasn't very rich. Her parents couldn't afford to pay for the wedding either. But he loved her so much he paid for everything, and they lived happily together. Every since New years passed, I've been planning to start a new life and do better. I will get better grades because my mom is planning on sending me to boot camp because of my bad behavior. As soon as this second quarter has already started, I'm gonna start to pay attention more, and do what's best for my grades. I will focus more on my work then my friends. That could probably solve some of my listening problems.
I think kids these days also should stay o their good behavior, because it's a new year and everyone should have a chance to at least good grades to make their parents proud. I also believe that this year, everyone should have a bullying policy. Alot of kids have been bullied even in 2012. I believe that we should make a change and decrease the amount of kids being bullied. We should also make a change in our school. Your own campus because now these days, some shooting sites have been going around schools and I believe that we should have securities come a guard the schools. I mean I already know that there are securities guarding schools, but they are not armed. I believe we should have securities that have weapons to protect our school. We should also give more donation to the homeless, because the population of the homeless are increasing in a big amount, and I believe we should prevent that from happening. We should like give the clothes we don't need or give them more food. I know we have those houses where they feed the homeless but they need something bigger becasue some homeless people out there are dying because they either can't make it to one of those houses. Thats what I believe should happen this year. I wanna change the life from how it is now to something better so everyone can live in a good process that contains in this world and have less damage and crime it may have already. | Emilee S.This blog is about what I learned in core, my core class is History and ELA.
