the Renaissance

1. So I am going to say a few thing about some significant people of the renaissance

The first one is Francesco Petrarch. He was a scholar and he dedicated himself to discovering and studying old manuscripts. After he got the manuscripts he had to verify their authenticity, (to see if they were real) which was very hard. He also researched about other people like St. Augustine and Cicero. Because of what he did the world now hoe has more knowledge of who the classical writers were and what they said.

The second one was Niccolo Machiavelli. He was an author. I don't like his ideas that much. He says like that you should cheat and be dishonest to achieve your goal. So like it doesn't matter how you achieve your goal all that matters is that you achieve your goal. He also wrote a handbook called the Prince.

The third person is Miguel de Cervantes. Cervantes is the author of Don Quixote. It is a book about the medieval lifestyle. He represents the Renaissance spirit by his skills of a wide amount of knowledge.

The fourth man is William Shakespeare. You might know him for some of his plays such as Hamlet, Romeo and Juliet, and Othello. He is probably one of the best English writers ever. An example of that is that he invented hundreds of words that we now use today.

The Fifth person is Leonardo da Vinci, which means Leonardo from Vinci. He was an incredible artist and known for some of his masterpieces like the Mona Lisa. He also did a lot of human anatomy and dissected dead bodies. He also made his own flying machine. He was a big part of the Renaissance movement.

The Sixth person is Michelangelo. He was mostly known for his work on the Sistine Chapel. He is also was good at poetry and designing. Every day he would spend hours on his backside depicting Biblical stories with his art.

The seventh man is Raphael. He helped Influence the works of Leonardo and Michelangelo. He was also one of the first artists to start using brighter colors in his works. He like Michelangelo also maintained a very religious theme in his artwork.

The Eighth person is Donatello. He was one of the best sculptors to come out of the Renaissance movement. He was best known for hist statue of David. He was one of the first to make a statue with just one person not a lot of people. You could focus on David from all sides because it was only him.

The ninth and last man is Jan van Eyck. Jan van Eyck was known for his exceeding attention to detail. His art looked like photographs. Throughout all of his art he maintained a strong religious theme.

Frozen

Frozen is a movie I watched in theaters. Its a really good movie. The main characters are Anna, Elsa, Kristoff, Hans, And Olaf. Anna and Elsa are sisters. Elsa has a magic power to create snow. One day Anna convinced Elsa to play in the great hall and make a magic winter wonderland. When Elsa was making hills Anna could jump on Anna was going to fast and Elsa couldn't keep up and she accidentally hit Anna with a icy blast of magic. The king and Queen came in suddenly and they sent them to the trolls. The trolls took Anna's memory away so she wasn't that cold anymore.

After many years Anna found a handsome prince and they spent lots of time together. They were going to crown Elsa as queen. Anna told Elsa that she and Hans were getting engaged. Elsa said it was to early to get engaged. Anna accidentally pulled off Elsa's glove and she got mad and used her icy magic. Every one was scared. Elsa ran away and the further she got from Arrendale the more she used her magic.

Anna goes to follow Elsa and she meets Kristoff and Olaf. They go and find Elsa and she tells Elsa to come then Olaf came into the palace she made and that reminded her when she hurt Anna and she got mad and hurt her in the heart and she made a giant snowman to chase them away.

Then Hans comes and captures Elsa and she gets out of jail and she is crying on the ground. Anna was going to get a Frozen heart but only true love could stop her from freezing.

She tells Hans to kiss her but he didn't and told the other people that Anna was dead.

Olaf came and helped Anna get out and they go to Kristoff. But in the storm they were slow. Hans was going to kill Elsa but with the rest of Anna's strength she stopped him right when she froze and broke the sword. She saved Elsa and Elsa was so sad she hugged Anna and she began to thaw. Anna showed Elsa what true love was.

The Perfect Day

If I could do whatever I wanted on one day then these are the things that I would do. I would read a lot I would play a lot of soccer and I would watch a movie and I would play some wii and civ and I would play lots of fun games like dixit and settlers of catan and I would play Gubs and stratego and I would play an I touch game called settlers.

Now i’ll tell you what will happen when I do all of these things. I would do an amazing goal in soccer and an amazing save. I would cook some food and the food I would cook would be over easy eggs and meatball soup.

I would read all day but the day would be 38 hours and I could play outside with my family and I would go to the library and get Tin Tin and read it in one day or less. I would do math in Khan and I would get everything mastered and I would have the best soccer game in the world and play professional soccer and I would score a hat trick. I would also be a chef and cook all my favorite foods and the last thing I would do is go to bed.

Middle Ages Soccer Story

The Middle Ages Soccer

One day London was playing soccer in his backyard. One time he kicked it at the post and it disappeared. Where did it go? It was gone. London went in the goal and crossed the line and then he fell in the ground. Down and down he went until he landed on something soft. Looking around  he saw that he had fallen in some hay in a blacksmith shop. He looked around and saw a  castle and he thought he was dreaming.

The blacksmith looked at London and told him to hurry to the castle because all of the young boys are doing a jousting tournament. He went to the castle and he saw all of the young boys jousting. He wanted to joust to be a knight. he asked the king if he could joust and the king said he could joust he told him to get armor on. He told him there was armor and a horse in the stable and he asked the guards to go with the boy to the stable. The boy found a nice horse and he asked if he could have it. The guards said he could have it and helped him find his armor and get dressed. 

Now he was dressed so he went to the tournament and got on his horse. He was nervous because he had never jousted. The young boys looked like they were good at jousting. He started to ride he hit the other guys shield but the other guy hit his head and he fell off. He was glad he was wearing a helmet that made it so it didn’t hurt his head. When he got up he decided that he didn’t like jousting because it was just to hit the other player. He wanted to teach them how to play soccer.

He asked the guards if he could talk to the king. The guards said he could if it was important. London said it was important. So he went to go see the king. He asked the king if he could  teach his men how play a sport that he liked. the king said that he could tell him if it was a good sport. London said it was best sport in the world and the one all the knights play where he came from. The king agreed to let him teach the men how to play the sport.

so he told the blacksmith to get metal. He told the fisherman to get two nets... Now the blacksmith came with metal posts and the fisherman came with two nets. Now he explained how to build the goal’s. They made two amazing goals right on the battle practice field. London got his ball out from the hay in the blacksmith shop and now they could play.

The other team got the ball and he threw it in at one of the young boys head but the other young boy ducked so it wouldn’t hit him. The other team’s goalie got the ball in his hands and threw it at one of the boys and and it hit his hand and London the ref called it a yellow card because he put his hand out. It was a free kick.

Ok London said. The king gave London the one medal. London 

took the medal and he gave it to Max the center forward. They cheered and cheered. They were happy they won but now London was thinking how could he get out of this place. 

He remembered he had fallen in the hay but he couldn’t fly back to his world. he thought of something else. . . . he looked up he saw the clouds were opening they were opening fast then the sun came out it was very light he felt like he could fly into the sun. 

He waved his hands and he flew up. He could fly! He flew into the clouds then he felt water and he went into the ground and he came up in his world. He wish he could go back to the middle ages and play more soccer.

Time to eat London, his mom called. Ok I’m coming.
