The Roman Empire in the Middle Ages is predominantly known for its religious reforms and impact on the history of the religious community as a whole. However most of the standards and ideals that are so strongly relied upon from this era descend from the earlier pre-christian Roman Empire.

I thought it was extremely informative and the author did a great job at keeping me intrigued. There were parts where the story was boring but he did a good job at putting in something that interesting happened to allow the book to pick back up. Some of the points I thought were interesting was how the families acted towards each other. One spot in the book it talked about after Constantine…

The Ottoman empire was first found in the thirteen hundreds. The empire stretches much further back, but it was under the leadership of Osman that this great empire succeeded in moving out from its territory in northwestern Anatolia and started conquering and taking over other territories.

In the middle of the fifteenth century they had already took some…

Ding! Dong! Ding! Dong! The dismissal bell just went off. As I was leaving the classroom, my teacher, Mr. Rase, the one I hate the most called me over and said “Jake Hazel, are you ready for the test” I quickly responded with a head nod and said, “Yeah I think I’ll be ready.” Mr. Rase then gobbled on by saying, “Fail is going to be what’s written all over your test!” So I quickly turned around and left the classroom, the only thing that I had going through my head was Mr. Rase stroking his…

When I say the tone is heavy, I mean that the music carry a weight behind them. A weight in the way it sounds, but also the lyrics themselves. It creates a sense of relatability with the audience that the band is trying to appeal towards. The tone given from…

It all started when a friend of Steve Wozniak, Bill Fernandez, introduced him to Jobs (Isaacson, 2011, p. 25). “Steve and I just sat on the sidewalk in front of Bill’s house for the longest time, just sharing stories- mostly about pranks we had pulled and…

Genesis 2 and 3 might seem that it focuses on the creation of the world as we know. However, if we look beyond this storyline, we can see that Genesis 2 and 3 is actually about how God tests Mankind. The testing is not to see Mankind fail, but rather, how Mankind can improve. Throughout the entirety of Genesis 2 and 3, we see that The Garden of Eden was made by God that one may test Mankind. We can see this through the order of creation, how Mankind gets tested, and from how the punishments are…

they could use is that Constantine brought Christianity out of the shadows. Before Constantine passed the Edict of Milan, it was illegal for Christians to be seen worshiping God in public when Constantine became emperor and Christian is when he decided that they no longer had to worship in secret. Going along with this fact people could say that he built places of worship and printed more copies of the bible, as well as expanded the faith. The numbers of Christians grew because of Constantine…
