Worst job ever

I think the last job in the video, a fuller. Their job was to walk on cloth to eliminate oils, dirt, and other impurities, and making it thicker. Yeah that doesn't sound that bad right? Well heres the bad part, the cloth would need to be soaked in urine to help clean the cloth. I think it would be nasty to walk in the urine. It would smell horrible and probably gag a maggot. Another thing is that you have to work long shifts, up to eight hours. This job would be horrible and very tiering job.

Brian Matejevich's story

Brian came to school as a athlete on the jv soccer team. His favorite teammate was Ryan Noone. He liked Noone because he was really funny. Mid way through the season Sam Werneke joined the soccer team. He did this because he quit the football team, so he was kind of an outcast at first. But Brian mad friends with Sam. During the beginning of the year Brian had lots of parties for occasions like homecoming, Halloween and birthdays. This made him quikly make friends and have a successful freshman year. After the soccer season, and all the parties Brian did not play a winter sport. His life kind of slowed down. He started to gain weight and get out of shape which was okay because this kid is scrawny. He had achieved second honors for the first thee quarters and was on his way to a fourth. Then came the golf team, He had many favorites on the golf team, like Ethan Slusher, Adam lazlof and John Leishman. They had many entertaining bus rides to matches, one of the "wise guys" on the team held a stop abortion sign out the window when we came to a stop. Also there was one girls on the golf team, Claire Zurkowski was on the team however she missed a lot of the season for her French exchange program were she traveled to France. The season was not to successful in Brian's eyes they had only won one match while losing three. Brian believes that next year the team will be much better because we have no seniors who are leaving. also there are some very talented freshman joining the team next year. The season ended with the winter-spring sports banquet. He thought i was very long but still entertaining. Near the end there were the golf awards. For varsity golf they awarded the "triple threat award" to Brian Matejevich a freshman who had played the number one spot in near half of the matches. He went up against seniors who had much more experience and strength. He fought valiantly to attempt to win points against these player but the were just far more experienced. Still he fought on through the season because he knew that soon later in the years the golf team at John Carroll could be good and could have a bright future.

final

The Middle Ages was a time of change. Whether it be in invention, religion or architecture.  The feelings about religion were changing drastically, Europeans wanted to take back the holy land.  The crusades were mainly for religious purposes like checking the spread of Islam. 

One non-religious reason for these crusades was to conquer pagan areas. “The Crusaders set up a new society” (The crusades). These lands weren’t only in the way of the crusaders as they marched their way to the holy land. They were land to add to the empire. Some crusaders stopped and settled down in the newly conquered areas. These lands consisted of areas from around Constantinople to around Jerusalem.  On the journey there was a spread of culture through food and tradition. Also these religious travelers brought back many types of things that weren’t available in Europe such as textiles from Jerusalem.

A second reason for the crusades was to check the spread of Islam. (Picture 1 and picture 2) Which was probably a motive of the pope. This is a religious reason because the Europeans just wanted to keep the Islamic religion out and away from the holy land. One reason the Europeans hated Islam so much was because its belief that god was one single person instead of the trinity. Also it was believed by Islamics that Jesus did not die, but he just ascended into heaven. For these reasons the Christian/Catholic Europeans had to suppress the Islamic religion.

Probably the most important reason for the crusades was for the retaking of the holy land. (Picture 3) This was important because this is where the Catholics believed Jesus was born. That was a very important thing and the Catholics wanted to have control over that land. It was simply an area of land that the Christians needed to have. The Christians were irritated because the Muslims and Jews had control over the holy land. They felt the land had to be theirs. And for that reason they fought for the land.

There were many reasons for the crusades such as adding land to the empire, to control the spread of Islam and to gain control of the holy land.  Most of these reasons were for religious purposes but there were other non-religious reasons to.  The Christians had to keep the Muslims under control or their religion would spread to Europe.  Their fear was that it would catch on, which was bad because Christianity was just starting to boom. That’s why they used religion as a motivator for the crusades.
