Easter Rising

I am my 4-H club’s president. My club has 52 people in it with most of them being under the age of ten. Sometimes I regret running for president, but then at other times I feel it is a great leadership experience. The duties of a president are not only running the meetings and showing animals. It is about helping out the community, helping the younger members with their projects and teaching them how to be a better person and also teach them responsibility with taking care of their animals.…

They do not travel to see grass they travel such a far distance to get a closer look at the giant stone-heads, call moai. These mysterious moai made by the ancient Rapanuian people hold a similar fascination like the Stone Hinge in England. They beg the questions when, how, why, and who? History teaches us through Easter Island that respecting our…

I believe the Rapanui walked the statues 11 miles across what is now known as Easter Island. The Rapanui are peoples who lived in the island. The only information we know from the Rapanui about the statues walked across the island. The first reason I believe the statues were rolled on wooden sledges is because that is so much easier for a human than to pull them with ropes.

The history of Easter Island, its statues and its peoples, has long been shrouded in mystery. Some have suggested that aliens marooned on earth planted the statues as signals to their fellow aliens to rescue them.

Still others are convinced that an ancient society with the capability of…

The Mystery Of Easter Island One may wonder about the mystery of Easter Island, is it a myth just like mermaids and aliens. Well, the mystery of how the statues got there has been proven in so many ways. Although, the most efficient way is by walking the statues. First and foremost, the Rapanui people never had enough people to move the statues by rolling them. As the text says,”... Lipo and Hunt believe the Rapanui population reached no more than 3,000 people,” (pg.11, ¶1). Also, the text…

death. The only way man could be saved is God sending his only begotten son to die for mankind. God's son would rise 3 days later this basically means that Jesus is the savior of mankind. In my opinion I believe Easter is better than the Pentecost because without Jesus dying and rising out of the ground people wouldn't believe that he is divine. this would just prove that he is only human because only humans can die they can't be Resurrected their soul can go to heaven but they physically…

Getting back to the historically correct facts, Doyle mentions the Easter Rising which occurred in 1916 and the Irish War of Independence, which occurred from 1919-1921, and many famous Irish men such as James Connolly, Patrick Pearse, and Michael Collins. Although they may not be explained in depth with facts, Doyle…
