It has been several days now, and still nothing. Wait, scratch that, we can finally see something in the horizon. For many days we have been searching for some place to settle in. So far we hadn't had the best of luck, but now I'm sure we can see something. The lands that we pass seem already occupied, or the land isn't large enough for our group of people. Once we can catch this land, it may be ours. Finally, we have arrived. This piece of land has resources that we need to survive, as well as the climate. There is water, food, and several sticks, and other items we need. I, myself, and  hunter-gatherer. I can do two things at once, hunting, and gathering, as my name explains.
   The hardest choice of them all is deciding whether I want to stay in this settlement, or continue moving. I believe that this is the right place for us, as the others can't travel any longer. In contrast, there might be better land further north from here.  

Out of the numerous books I have read this year, I found that I had more than one favorite. Each had  their own individual category. These books ranged from mystery, to adventure, to novels. Although I loved to read the warrior series, and the Princess Academy books, my favorite this year has to be a book titled The Clearing. This book is about a girl by the name of Cassy,and she dwells in a secluded forest area with the rest of her family. Fatherless, her brother carries on duties for her. She begins to wonder aimlessly one day while searching for almost nothing, when she comes across a clearing. This clearing is a time machine basically. There seems to be fog covering the whole clearing. She hears motor noises, and decides to step forward. A boy, around her age, is seen mowing his lawn. Quizzically, she really has no idea where she is, or how she got there. All she known, is that she is lost, physically and mentally.
     The plot is, the boy, Henry, has been living in the past, and his brother is out in war. He goes MIA,and they don't know where he is. Henry prays that time will freeze, and that is exactly what happened. 

European history has gone on for many ages in the past, some events are more important than others. The Scientific Revolution was one of those events, that were one of the most important. Before this time, many individuals had gone on believing the teachings, and scripts of Aristotle. They didn't exactly look past Aristotle, and saw everything he did as correct. However, according to modern day science, they were indeed wrong. No one had made a stand quiet yet, until Nicolaus Copernicus came into play. He was an astronomer, that looked much farther that Aristotle's teachings. Although, he did look up to Aristotle, he didn't understand hiss meanings. The same events that occurred, happened to Galileo, Kepler, and Brahe. They are indeed the most well known in this specific time period.

Martin Luther was a man of truth although, he didn't realize it himself. He knew he had something within him, but he didn't think he was enough for anything. He even went to such lengths, to become a monk, and cleansed his soul every so often. He  was most well known for nailing the 95 theses to the Church door. These theses were complaints against the pope and the church. If I were to have any say in this at all, I believe I could state five theses about school, and education. My first these, would probably have to revolve around music. I believe that all students should be forced to play an instrument, even against their will. Playing an instrument isn't completely useless,a s it will higher your IQ. Secondly, I believe that students should be given the opportunity to do more hands on activities. The students will not only enjoy it, but also learn in a different sort of way.
          In the third column, Our school systems should be like Japan. Although they have many students, they have the teachers rotate instead. The students stay int heir same homeroom, while the teachers go in and out, teaching different subjects. Therefore, some confusion regarding the students will die down a bit. For my fourth column, students should probably be able to use laptops more, to enhance learning, and make it a fun and easy experience for the teachers as well as the students. Finally, school shouldn't start as early in the morning, simply because they will be extremely tired, and exhausted, they won't be able to think properly.
