Worst Job
I think the worst job was the guy who stepped in pee. That was so gross. I almost through up, it was really weird. That would suck just stepping in pee all day. I don't think it would have been worth it. I would have thrown up if it was my job. If I through up it would have stained the fabric and smelled really really bad. Then they would have beheaded me because I ruined their fabric. I would be the worst pee stomp-er in the Middle Ages.
My Freshman Year
Freshman year had gone by in a breeze. Sam Werneke is the coolest freshman out there. He is very smart and did many extra curricular activities. He was very active in school and had lots of fun. He played soccer in the fall and had lots of fun. He did nothing in the winter but did a lot in the spring. Sam was the star player on the JV Tennis team in the spring. It was funny when Sam was rolling backwards in a chair and flipped. He looked hurt but got back up and was good. Sam had Mr. Perry who was the scariest teacher he said he ever had. He also thought Mr. Perry was the best.
Other than having fun, Sam had a great academic year too. He got lots of good grades and got honors for all quarters. He is very smart and thinks that John Carroll was the right place for him to go to. He made many new friends and was able to do many things. He learned new things in many of his classes. He especially liked Mr.Wojo's class. He liked it because it really let him use his computer for better learning. Sam learned many new things in his class and found cool things you can do with his laptop. Sam also really liked his Health and Gym class. He thought it was really fun and had good times in both classes.
Sam felt the laptops this year really helped him develop good habits in getting homework done. He also kept the best notes he had ever done in a class. He says "the Laptop really contributed to my good grades...". Sam thinks that if he had not used a laptop high school would have been to much to handle. He loves his advisory and had so much fun with them. From scategories to a memorable Superbowl party they did it all. Sam had many enjoyable moments this year and felt his freshman year was great.

Question: Why is it so important to understand _ [i.e. the topic of your expert group] if one is to really understand the culture of the Middle Ages?
For my topic I had the Spanish Inquisition. When someone talks about the Middle Ages they can't do it without the Spanish Inquisition. During this time, hundreds of people were converted to Catholicism. But the conversations were not made by choice but by torture and force. The middle ages was an important time for Catholicism in Europe. Thousands also died because they refused to convert. The Spanish Inquisition changed Middle Ages and Catholicism in the world in many ways.
Firstly, the culture of the Middle Ages is revolved around Christianity. “For 350 years under Papal Decree, Jews, then Muslims and Protestants were put through the Inquisitional Court and condemned to torture, imprisonment, exile and death. (Bragg)” This quote shows how Christianity was very important the middle ages. It also shows how many other religions were not accepted during this time. That is really explained in the Spanish Inquisition.
Religion is dominant component of the Middle Ages’ culture. You can't understand the Middle Ages without understanding the religion. “Once Rome's religion changed to Christianity under Constantine, it retained the inquisitorial trial method but also developed brutal means of dealing with heretics who went against the doctrines of the new religion. (Bragg)” When Christianity rose to a main religion, many became very religious. When they became religious they also became very strict over the rules. They followed the rules almost too much.
It made it more catholic and dangerous. This was a bad time to be any other religion especially protestant. “The Romans used the inquisitorial process as a form of legal procedure employed in the search for evidence. (Bragg)" This quote really shows how people thought back then. They put religion above all and used the government to enforce it. It also shows how it was not just the Spanish who did an inquisition. The Spanish Inquisition was ran by more of the government then the church. They had done it without the Pope's permission.
As I said when someone talks about the Middle Ages they can't do it without the Spanish Inquisition. Every other religions were persecuted because they were not Catholic. The middle ages was an important time for Catholicism in Europe. The Inquisition rocked the middle ages and was a very influential part of history. The Spanish Inquisition changed Middle Ages and Catholicism forever.

The middle ages was an important time for Catholicism in Europe. Thousands also died because they refused to convert. The Spanish Inquisition changed Middle Ages and Catholicism in the world in many ways. The Spanish Inquisition did not change the Middle Ages in any way and does not help us understand the culture of the Middle Ages.

Weekly Question: How do Romanesque and Gothic Cathedrals express different understandings about religious theology? (Rough Draft due Thursday for peer review -- BTW, a hint: the "opposite" argument would be that the architecture of churches does NOT mean anything about theology).
The churches in the Middle Ages changed in many ways. Our modern churches are very much influenced by the Middle Ages and we still have many of the churches of the Middle Ages. A person can tell the difference in many churches and when they were made. Most churches were made during the time of the Middle Ages. During the Middle Ages there was a Catholic movement in the Middle Ages. The two main types of churches made in the Middle Ages were, the Romanesque and Gothic churches. The main differences in the churches are: the walls, the windows and the structure of the church.
First the walls are different in the churches. When people in the dark ages made their churches they were made as fortresses. (Figures 1 and 4) They were made like this so of attacked they could take refuge in the churches. When life in the dark ages settled down many people started to make their churches more extravagant. They had high towers and less walls and more windows. (Figures 2, 3, and 5) These Churches really show the new thoughts of the catholic church during this time. They show how the light of God should always be with you.
Secondly, during the middle ages the whole structure and design of the churches changed. During the early middle ages or dark ages the churches were made to protect people. (Figures 1 and 4) When attacked by other tribes the town would hide inside the church and protect themselves. As many tribes settled down and built their churches. They made them look like the light of God. They made many windows and let lots of light in. (Figures 2, 3, and 5)
Finally, the windows in each church are very different. The churches many differed in their windows. In the Romanesque churches they had very small windows so it could be used to hide in if attacked. (Figures 1 and 4) After the dark ages, the catholic church decided they needed to change and made their churches more in the "Light Of God". They made there churches less of a fortress and more of a "church", by adding huge windows letting the outside light flow in. (Figures 2,3, and 5)
In conclusion, the churches in the middle ages changed in many ways. The churches in the beginning of the middle ages really showed how scared people were. They had huge churches that were more a fortress then a place to worship God. During the Gothic era they changed their thoughts completely they made the churches more bright and open. They made them a place to worship and praise God. I believe in the beginning of the middle ages the churches were not made to praise God but to protect themselves.
