Eventually, through the moral principles of both Childeric and their second king Clovis, they developed a codified set of laws, The Code of the Salian Franks, or Lex Salica. The Franks had to suffer hardships to succeed which led them to be a close knit community; fines became the most effective way to maintain order. The laws…

I knew that I had to continue learning this incredible form of communication. I just finished ASL 2 at Clovis Community, and will be taking ASL 3 at Fresno City next semester.

The World Without Us written by Alan Weisman is a non-fiction book that turned out to be a best selling book in 2007. This book was a shocking revelation to me and should raise awareness to other human beings living on earth. Not only does this book expressed the changes that have occur in the past it also mentions the effects we humans have made to nature. How much harm can human beings do to nature? What have they done to repair the damages or if they have even tried to? These questions are to…

The beginning of the Middle Ages is called the “dark ages”, which is a Latin term for middle ages which means “medieval”. The dark ages were total chaos, the streets were coated with blood from their own people. Europeans starved the Romans and people were dying left and right.

Most of the other Germanic tribes disappeared after their great leaders died, or after they were forced from their greatest settlements, but not the Franks. After Clovis died, the Frankish kingdom was split between his four sons. The Frankish…

he does not need to rely on the “Christian God”. In one scene, the Christian monk addresses Beowulf and tells him a biblical tale about Clovis the Frank and how he won with the aid of God’s hand, suggesting that the Danes had no luck in capturing and killing Grendel because they do not want or wish to believe in God. Beowulf quickly and crudely remarks that Clovis is dead and how that event had taken place over 10 years ago. He also states that they do not have to experience the danger of trolls…
