How did European exploration and colonization forever change the landscape and lives of people in the Old World and the New World?

For one thing it changed alot.Because the more they traded the more they had dieaseses come over but it really was a good thing because people were able to get even more healther than what they ever could have been, and plus more and more people are eating everyday and it's helping them out alot. But as far as the landscaping goes there may be to many diesaes there but there all alright. And it really changed alot for the natives cause they were able to eat more but they also caught majority of the diseases and were killed on by one.

Would you go?

well if an astronaunt and i were asked to lead a voyage i think i'll do it. Because it sounds like it may be a lot of fun and i know i'ma run into alot of things i have never ever seen in my life. And i think the reward will be me making it back to the planet earth with no problems at all. and another reward will be me just going out to see all of the wonders and the sights of all the things in outer space. Some of the risks going into the unknown may be lost of fuel or another thing may be an astro field and that could really damage the rocket ship. Then another thing could be miss direction and we could be lost for, forever. And like i said i would go. I can't miss out on an oppertunity like that. I would like to see everthing to unknown have to show me.

the printing press and the spread of knoledge.

well first of all the printing press helped them out allot. Because they had to do it the hard way at first. Like they had to do something like taking a piece of sheet paper and putting ink on the paper with blocks that had letters and they would copy it that way. But now they have the printing press and it moves allot faster than the other things. I mean it's still slow but it can get through things quicker. And now they can make more books and such and that means allot of more people can learn. Because at first only people who were at the churches could read and plus they only had like one book per town and poor people couldn't bye it. But the more copies they sell they less the book and the more people get to learn.


And now we have like the Internet. You don't even have to print it out because it is like rite there in front of you and you can read it over and over again with out it being ruined or destroyed. And plus you can get more in to details with what you may be looking for and you can learn allot more than what you thought you could. And plus it doesn't matter if you poor or even rich Everybody has the same opportunities as each other, As long as you can get to a computer with the Internet. And now the people who don't even look like they may be smart be one of the smartest kids in the school. And with this new technology you can learn with out being judge.

Do you agree with the famous Latin saying carpe diem?

i really do agree with this latin saying.Because it involves u of having nothing but fun and plus u live ur life to the fullest and with out any worries. That's what people really need in there life. People now a days don't realize u only have one life and u need to spend it making urself happy instead of walking around all the time looking dead to the world. So yea i agree with this little slogan because i can really relate to this slogan.

what does it mean to be civilized

Being civilized mean having a well being on life and living it to thwe best of your potential. And that means being able to have a well living culture and having a good look on how life is made and living it the way it is suppose to be lived. Then again it could mean acting like a well behaved person instead of acting like a big nasty slob out in the country.

D-Wade
By: Stevie Morris
Dwayne Tyrone Wade, Jr. was born January 17, 1982 in the south of Chicago, Illinois. His father was named Dwayne Sr. and his mother is named Jolinda Wade. He has an older sister by the name of Tragi, who steered him in the right direction when he was younger. His sister taught him not to run with people who would get him locked up or even worse. She kept him out of harms way and she showed him right from wrong .When his parents got divorced, he moved in with his father and his step-mother in Robbins, Illinois. While he was there, he saw Michael Jordan playing in his prime, and from then on he set his ways to play like him. Jordan had all the moves, and he was exciting to watch.
He later attended Harold L. Richards High School in Oak Lawn, Illinois. He didn’t really get to play much his sophomore year because he was kind of short, and he really didn’t know all of the moves then .His step-brother Demetris McDaniel was the star of the team. Wade grew four inches in the summer before his junior year. Then he started to average 20.7 points and got 7.6 rebounds per game. During his senior year he averaged 27.8 points and he led his team to the title game and won it. (Class AA Eisenhower Sectional.)
Wade could only get recruited by: {Marquette University, Illinois State and DePaul University} since he wasn’t really doing well in his classes. Wade couldn’t play his freshmen year because of his academics problem. But when he became a sophomore he was eligible to play, and he led his team in points. He led his conference in steals at 2.47, per game and also averaged 6.6 rebounds with 3.4 assists per game. Wade then led his team to the Final Four; it was the school’s first appearance since winning the 1977 national championship. After the season, Wade was named First Team all-American. He became the first player from Marquette to do so since 1978. On February 3, 2007, after nearly three and half years after his final collegiate game, the school retired Dwayne Wade’s jersey. They retired wades jersey because since he had been gone no one could fore fell the role he had left. Everyone felt he was a very gifted player. They were glad to have him at the school, so they retired his jersey.
Wade was the 5th overall pick in the 2003 draft by the Miami Heat. Wade quickly became the best player on his team. Wade is on one of four players of Marquette to be drafted in the NBA.Wade was on the NBA-All Rookie Team and also finished third in the rookie of the year voting, for the players who had just came in to the league, and it was for some of the most outstanding players to come up and let there names be heard all over the league, like Kobe when he was a rookie .Wade was selected to be in the 2005 All Star Game. By the 2005-06 years he was known has the most prominent player. He finished the 2005–06 regular season averaging 27.2 points, 6.7 assists, 5.7 rebounds, and 1.95 steals per game.
In the 2006-07 seasons, Wade missed a total of 31 games due to injury. Wade had injured his shoulder blade and it was hard for him to play. The injury kind of made it hard for him to bounce back, but he found a way. He was elected to his third straight All-Star Game and received All NBA honors. He became the first guard to earn All-NBA honors after missing at least 31 games in a season since Pete Warravion of the New Orleans Jazz earned Second Team honors during the 1977-1978 season. Wade has now been the best player for Miami Heat since 1981. Wade is the most amazing player in America.
Wade is a very impressive player in I just had to do this project on him to really see what makes D-wade ticks. He is walking time bomb when it comes to basketball, you’ll never know when he will explode and you’ll never know what other records he’ll brake. To find that out you’ll have to stay tuned to my writing and explore more with me.

Amercian Romanticism

One of the romantic situation in the story would have to be can't no body go to sleep for 20 years, and another would have to be no one can stay alive for ever. He was sleep until everything in his little village was cleaned up and when he woke up he was walking around and his doughter found him and after that they didn't say anything about him dieing. To me the story is funny because he tend to mind everybody esle's business expect his own.
{Rip’s story was soon told, for the whole twenty long years had been to
him but as one night. The neighbors stared when they heard it; some were
seen to wink at each other, and put their tongues in their cheeks: and the
self-important man in the cocked hat, who, when the alarm was over, had
returned to the field, screwed down the corners of his mouth, and shook his
head—upon which there was a general shaking of the head throughout the
assemblage.}



Ok, first of all who would wanna walk through some woods when there wife gets on there nerves. And who find mystical creatures and fall asleep around them and stay asleep until about 20 years. Either way it goes I would have never left and went walking in the woods, and I bet the Romantics liked that to. I bet they were glad he was able to go see nature and explore it while he was in there. And since people are from the city and it be really nasty.Some people would like to go see what nature looks like. In there eyes they see that it could be clean and that it could be a wonderful site to see.


[a long ramble of the kind on a fine autumnal day, Rip had
unconsciously scrambled to one of the highest parts of the Kaatskill
mountains. He was after his favorite sport of squirrel shooting, and the still
solitudes had echoed and re-echoed with the reports of his gun. Panting
and fatigued, he threw himself, late in the afternoon, on a green knoll,
covered with mountain herbage, that crowned the brow of a precipice.
From an opening between the trees he could overlook all the lower country
for many a mile of rich woodland.]


And when he went out 2 the forest he found these little elves that made him go 2 sleep 4 20 whole years.`


Well Ithink the poem was trying to say no matter how poor or no matter how unimportant you are, you will still die like a king or queen or what ever. Death comes to everbody no matter how wealth or popular you are. And that you should go out and imagine all the dead people that are in the earth. And Bryant thought this was to comfort youhe wasn't trying to scare you.And once you die you will be equal with all the people who was king and queens. and the romantic part of the poem is that once you die. You'll be equal. Youwon't have to feel less about urself because ya'll gonna be in the same spot and where ya'll going be a queen or a king won't matter you'll all be the same in a grave.

{The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes In the full strength of years, matron, and maid, The bow'd with age, the infant in the smiles And beauty of its innocent age cut off,-- Shall one by one be gathered to thy side, By those, who in their turn shall follow them. So live, that when thy summons comes to join The innumerable caravan, that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall take His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry-slave at night, Scourged to his dungeon, but sustain'd and sooth'd By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave, Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams.}

Well the point of ropewalk was to tell us how tired some you get and it be so hot that you start seeing stuff that isn't really there. And it was telling us it was like a prison yard. the people were yelling at them to hurry and get there work done. and he was using his imgination to get away from his work. One image that stands out to me is:

{Two fair maidens in a swing,Like white doves upon the wing, First before my vision pass;Laughing, as their gentle handsClosely clasp the twisted strands, At their shadow on the grass.}

Because you could use that painting and imagnate yourself being there and that could help you to get away from the real world and all the troubles that you are around.

Like look at this picture you can't help but imagine yourself there and putting yourself and them people shoes. like i imagine myself standing on a big cliff. and this can help people get away. Becasuse if you was so angry at someone to the point you wanna kill someone all you gotta do is look at this picture imagne your self looking at it and killing all your problems.
