-(Martin Luther, Henry VIII, John Calvin, Pope Leo X and Conrad Grebel enter the meeting room and sit in chairs at a table.)

- (Henry VIII) - All issues may be addressed at this point.

- (Martin Luther raises his hand)

- (Henry VIII) – Yes, Martin

- (Martin Luther) –Pope Leo X why are you stating that it is ok for the people of the Protestant Religion to pay for indulgences?

- (Pope Leo X) – I am stating this because I need to raise enough money to construct the St. Peter’s basilica. I feel that it is morally ok to pay for your sins.

- (Martin Luther) – Well just because I disagree with you, do u feel its ok to just kick me out of the protestant religion? Doesn’t that seem a little harsh to you?

- (John Calvin) – I agree with Martin, that does seem a little harsh.

- (Pope Leo X) – I feel that if you have a problem with my religion then you need to go and make your own religion.

- (Martin Luther) – then I will.

- (Henry VIII) – Any other issues that need to be addressed?

- (Conrad Grebel raises his hand)

- (Henry VIII) – Yes, Conrad?

- (Conrad Grebel) - Why has no one complained about your six marriges, Henry?

- (Henry VIII) – All five of my x-wives had done horrible things to and then where executed, or they Died in some other way.

- (Conrad Grebel) – Please tell me about how “terrible” your x-wives were to you.





- (Henry VIII) – My first wife, Catherine had a stillborn daughter with me, and had a son with me, who we then named Henry. She died and there were rumors that she was poisoned in the Kimbolton castle. My second wife, was executed because she committed treason, witchcraft, and incest. My third wife Jane Seymour died while giving birth to my son Edward VI. I divorced my forth wife Anne, the day after the wedding because I said that I didn’t like her any more. My fifth wife, Catherine was charged with treason and adultery. Soon after that she was executed.

- (Conrad Grebel) – Why did you chose to have Anne and Catherine executed?

- (Henry VIII) – I chose to have them executed because I’m am a king and it would show a sign of weakness. I was also very upset that they did those horrible things to me. They were just like regular people, just because there were my wife’s, doesn’t mean that I can treat them differently than the other people in my kingdom.

- (Conrad Grebel) – I understand. It must have been very hard to deal with them committing those crimes.

- (Henry VIII) – I learned to deal with it. Any other questions?

- (Conrad Grebel raises his hand)

- (Henry VIII) – Yes, Conrad.

- (Conrad Grebel) – Who founded Calvinism?

- (John Calvin) – Calvinism is a religion that I founded, it branches off of Western Christianity.

- (Conrad Grebel) – What is the religion based on?

- (John Calvin) – My religion is based on “the five points of Calvinism”.

- (Conrad Grebel) – What are “the five points of Calvinism”?

- (John Calvin) – The five points of Calvinism are: Total depravity, unconditional election, limited atonement, irresistible grace and perseverance of the saints.

- (Conrad Grebel) – Thanks for the great explanation of Calvinism.

- (Henry VIII) – Is there anything else that needs to be addressed?

- (No one raises their hands)

- (Henry VIII) – This meeting is over.

- (All leave the room)

Japan Korea photojournalism story

About 2 weeks ago I went back in time to Fujiwara Japan. I went there purely so that I could see what it was like. I ran into some trouble in the proses though.
I met the emperor Kamatari and he wasn't very friendly. I ended up getting chased by a bunch of Japanese palace guards. But in the end I got away and got to see and experience a feeling of a lifetime. I got to experience the old Japan.

Michelangelo... Painting last judgement questions

  • The name of my artist is Michelangelo.
  • The title of the pice is The Last Judgement
  • The last judgement is a mural painting.
  • The last judgement was painted on the Sistine chapel wall.
  • The last judgement was painted between 1536 and 1541.
  • The last judgement is currently displayed in the Sistine chapel.
  • Michelangelo was an Italian renaissance sculptor, painter, architect, poet, and engineer who exerted an unparalleled influence on the development of Western art.

  • Michelangelo was known as the greatest artist of his time.
  • His full name is Michelangelo di Lodovico Buonarroti Simoni
  • His raised right hand compels the figures on the lefthand side, who are trying to ascend, to be plunged down towards Charon and Minos, the Judge of the Underworld; while his left hand is drawing up the chosen people on his right in an irresistible current of strength. Together with the planets and the sun, the saints surround the Judge, confined into vast spacial orbits around Him. It tells the story of judgement day.
  • I believe that Michelangelo try's to portray Anatomy and religion as the cherictoristics of the renaissance.

Short Story

The Life Of A Merchant

I am so happy that my family can service and live a great leisurely life. The middle class life is great! So great that I'm going to go see a movie. Just because I feel like it and my family can afford to watch one.

Wow that was a great movie. I might just get off of work early so I can spend more time with my family. I really love how much leisure time I have now.

China

I was sent back to the Tang Dynasty which lasted from 618-916. I got the opportunity to see the capital city Chang'an. It was a beautiful city with A huge scale and great city planing.
Their was a great emperor named Shi Huang. He was the first emperor of unified China. He actually told me that himself. I then left china and I found myself back home on my bed.
The Tang empire in my opinion has to be one of the best. It has great city planing and the emperor was awesome. It had a great time in the Tang Dynasty.
