If I could meet Leonardo da Vinci or Michelangelo, I would say Leonardo. I say Leonardo because I think it would be cool to him. I have read about him in a book and in my core class. I read that he made many works of art and he made amazing sculptors. Another reason I would want to meet Leonardo is because he made tons of works of art. Although they are both at the same skill level, I think that Leonardo is better. I know that the people in Italy gave him the title of best artist and sculptor. Leonardo made sculptors out of marble. This took him a while, but when he was done the sculptor was amazing. Many people back in his time would want lessons and buy his paintings or other work. That is another reason why I would want to meet Leonardo. He could probably give me lessons or he could give me a sculptor at a good price.   

   My favorite topic in my history class is the Middle Ages. I mean that I like the Joan of Arc topic. I really don't know why, but I like this topic. I think that it is the best topic that I have learned so far. I like this topic because it shows bravery and determination. I know almost everything about this topic. She lead the French Army when they were in war against the English. She grew up a peasant and was very poor. At the age of thirteen she started claiming that she could hear voices. She said that they were angles and God himself. During one of the battles she got hit by an arrow. It healed later and she returned to war. 

    The Black Death was a sickness in the Middle Ages and it effected Europe in many ways. One way was that it caused a lot of people to die and it also killed very important people like nobles. It killed 25 to 33% of Europe's population and this caused a seris of events. On thing that happened because of this was it made a new organization. The organization was a bunch of people that were tortured and they had to confess thier sins. This sometimes killed people or made people weak. The Black Death lasted for a long time and made Europe mad. The black death also caused more needs of church. More people would go to church to pray that they don't get the sickness. The Black Death also caused suspision among the Jewish. Somehow not many of them were not getting sick. Some people in the middle ages said that it was because they were drinking water from streams instead of the well. 

      My Uncle is the head of the family and has gotten word that he must go and fight. He is too old and cannot fight, so he decided to make me go and fight. He asked how I felt about this. I said that I did not like this idea at all. One reason is because I don't think that I could fight or be a great soldier. Another reason why is because I want to stay here. I want to stay here with my noble family. My life was good and I did not want to ruin it by going to war. I also think that I should not. It just doesn't feel like I belong there. I am no warrior and can hardly fight. In my opinion I think this is terrible and that I should stay here. The last thing is because I am afraid. I am afraid that I will get hurt or worse. I could die on this trip to war. I want to live and grow to be an old man.
       These are some of the reasons why I do not want to go. The biggest reason is because I am afraid to get hurt.

     My father is the king France and I am his youngest child. He has told me that I must go and marry a stranger to keep him safe. Also if I marry this stranger he is garented to keep his throne. He asked me how I felt about having to do this and I said that I do not like this idea at all. I told him that I do not want to marry a stranger from another place. I also told him that I want to stay here with him. I said that this was a terrible idea. This is how I felt when he said that I had to do it. I felt like I had no say in this. I felt like an animal that was traded. I do not want to marry a stranger. I also felt like I had to do this. If I do go, my father can keep his crown. I had to go because he is trying to keep an alliance with some other kingdom and make sure that no war happens or gets caused because I said no. One part of me wanted to say no, but another part wanted to say yes.

       I hate my life! First of all I am poor and have nothing to eat. Another thing is that I am a wolfs head and could be killed by anyone. As I was walking to the city that Father Quinel told me about, I stumbled upon an a banded town. There was nobody there except a man in an a banded church. I heard singing so I made my way toward the noise. That was a big mistake that I will regret. At first the man seemed good, but it turns out he is an evil man who took me as a slave. He made me say a promise that no man could break. I have no idea what he is going to me. After he made me swear that I was not going to escape, I ran into a corner far away from him. He asked me questions and he made me ask him some questions too. I had ask him for his name and what he is doing here. I found out that the man is a juggler and that he goes from town to town and performs for food and money. 

     One day I was collecting crops in the field in the harsh weather. As I was walking back to my village I could smell something burning and I could see smoke. The first thing that comes to my mind is that my house is on fire! I ran as fast as I could to see what was burning and I see my house and my village on fire! I began to worry. I was also thinking how could this happen. How did my village catch on fire? All I could think was, could the vikings do this? Was it the people who all feared? As I ran to my village I saw ships sailing away from my village. That was when I knew it was the vikings. I saw nothing, but destruction and chaos. I saw people I knew dead on the floor. I also saw that the vikings took all of our food and items. The entire village was on fire and they left me with nothing. I became frightened. Now all I could think about was how was I going to survive here with nothing. 

  Charlemagne is short for charles the great. Charlemagne was a very important man in the middle ages. I do not no much about him, but I do know a little about him. I know that he was a good warrior and well known in the middle ages. I also know that Charlemagne was a good king and an important person in the middle ages. I am learning about him right now in my History class. This is much of what I know about him. Charlemagne was also an important person in Europe and came in to history after the fall of the Roman Empire. I remember from my History book that Charlemagne had many stories or tales about him that were told by storytellers in Europe. Charlemagne also had many servants and people did not want to mess with him.
      I am learning this in my core class and I do not know much about him. I am just writing the details about Charlemagne that I can remember from my History book. 

       This year I went to a party at my dads friends house to celebrate the New Years. It was very fun because it had lots of things to do there. One thing is that there was tons of food and there was candy that we could eat there. There were lots of people that my dad new at the party. At the party there was also toys and video games that we could play. Including my favorite Call of Duty. It was very fun over there. When it was almost midnight everyone that was there came and watched on the TV the show that had the clock counting down and famous actors on there including Marylon Wayons. I think that was his name. Another thing that was on that TV show was a walk show were everyone came down the isle wearing wierd clothes and they had people taking photos. At the final countdown everyone was excited. When people screamed ''HAPPY NEW YEAR'', everyone starting hugging each other. Finally when it was over I went home and went to bed. 
    That was my new years party. My New Years resolution is that I would help more around the house and be a little less lazy. I said this to my mom and dad on New Years. My mom said that hers was going to be that she would go back to school. My dad said that he was going to do the same thing as me, but only on the weekends because he has to go to work Monday through Friday. Everyone on Youtube said something or did something for

  I am looking forward to so many things this year about my Winter Break. The top thing that I am looking forward to is Christmas. My mom and dad get me one brand new video game a year. The games are always my favorite series. My favorite series is shooting. I like any game that is related to Call of Duty. Call of Duty is my favorite type of shooting game. I love the zombies and the multiplayer is great. I am also looking forward to not being in school. I don't hate school it is just that I really like vacations. On vacations or breaks from school I play with my brother or play on my computer. I am also looking forward to playing basketball in the park. Even on cold days I play outside. Sometimes my brother or my dad play with me.
