Question 10 Final

Mr. Wojo,

I feel that what you have taught us we would have not learned in any other class. Some people may not like you teaching style or the amount of work, but that is just part of life. That is what life is hard work. If you buckle down and get it done it is a great class. I apperciate having you as a teacher and the only thing left to say is thank you and it will be sad to see you leave. And Finally; Brenden and I will see you at Pensic Wars.
Long live AEthelmearc!

Sincerely,
Konnor Drewen

Question 9 Final

I think that Shakespeare is a good example of a “Renaissance Man." A "Renaissance Man" is a person who is good at everything they try. Shakespeare was a genius in my opinion. He allowed for a wide range of styles of writing and his poems and plays are still done today. In one of his sonnets he says "Wish me partaker in thy happiness. When thou dost meet good hap; and in thy danger. If ever danger do environ thee." This is a truth that Shakespeare was a genius of poetry and the heroics. He does not want to put he person his is talking to in danger. Shakespeare was not the only one the others metioned were also very important and had alike characteristics. Non though can compare to the genius that was William Shakespeare.

Question 8 Final

The first three picture are of Gothic architecture. The Gothic architecture was mainly about letting the light in. The power of God is the light. The Romanesque was more about Judgement day. They needed a place to hid when the world came to an end. That is why it is more fortress like.

Question 7 Final

The Black Death was a plague that was spread through the bites of fleas on rats. It wiped out 1/3 of the population in Europe. As a medical medieval physician the Black Death is transfered by rats bites. You have to look out for boils and sores on your body and physical symptoms. The best course of action I think is to amputate any and all effected limbs.
If something like the Black Death occured now I think that two things would happen. First everybody would panic. After the panicing was done then the people of the world would unite to try to find a cure before to much damage was done. I think that the damage scale would not be as bad as it was back then with the Black Death. Althought, there would still be a large amount of damage from the period of panic.

Question 6 Final

"Do not do dope, help the Pope."

"Heart of a lion, strength of a bear."
"Saladin is not a paladin"












Op-ed-
Dear editor,
I am not the bad guy in this problem with Richard. He is the one who attacked my land and took my people hostage. He killed 3000 of my people and did not appalogize. Now I did not give back his cross but I still do not think that, that gives him means. He is just a cruel person.
Jerusalem is my holy land too. Mohammed came to Jerusalem and that is what makes it our holy land. I think that we could just share it. I do not think it is fair to assume that I am the enemy here. I am the good guy just protecting my land.

“Is it fair to say the United States is the modern day equivalent of the Roman Empire?”

            I think that the United States is like a modern day Roman Empire. The U.S. is known for being one of the most powerful nations in the world. That was what Rome was like when it was in power. The U.S. causes many good things to happen in the world with care-packages, and the U.S.’s help defending countries. Of course like Rome, the U.S. causes some bad things to happen also. Take the war in Iraq; the U.S. caused the death of many innocent lives. The United States is like the Roman Empire because, like Rome the U.S. tries and succeeds in saving the good people but it also fails once in a while.

             On the front page of the Arkansas Democrat Gazette there was an article about the war in the Middle East. “Gadhafi defiant after NATO pounding” (Arkansas Democrat Gazette). This is really about how the U.S. can cause destruction if need-be. The article was about the Gadhafi and how he is now defending against stepping down since NATO missiles hit his compound. The U.S. caused this man who is a horrid dictator to fight against his own people and NATO. The U.S. does not have to do bad thing that is not what I am saying, it can also do good.

            In The Gazette from Colorado Springs there is a story of a fresh start for a city. “Bach Heralds fresh start for our city." The cities of the U.S. have the power to change things when they can. Only if they can also, but the U.S. is like the Roman Empire because it has this power. To help or to defeat.
The U.S. has a large amount of power over the world and people love it and hate it. The U.S. has helped people in their time of need. They have also made some enemys in their time as a country. There is one thing for sure though, Rome did the same thing. Rome had allies but they also had enemys.
