Elizabeth I

Elizabeth  I is one of my favorite historical rulers because she did what others thought could not be done. The ruled Alone! Many people back then thought that women were weak and sensitive, but Queen Elizabeth I proved that she could rule a country without the help of a king or other men. During her time the country flourished and had William Shakespeare who wrote some of the worlds greatest plays.

Well? Is Magic Real.(A Short Story)

At the end of the day I accepted the Truth. It was hard but how else to explain that Magic was real? My cat had remarked how she had no idea why we made silly faces at her when she laid on her back. I wanted to answer but thought I was going crazy. I enjoy reading about magic and pretending to do it but facing the real thing? Terrifying. Later, I went up to my cat and asked, "Do you talk?", she stared at me as if something odd had just happened and opened her little mouth and said, "Meow Meow". I thought I heard her talk but did I?

Dante

Was an Italian poet who wrote a book called the Divine Comedy. Later on this book was split into three books: Inferno, Purgatorio, and Paradiso. Inferno was about him being lead through the seven Rings of Hell by the Roman poet Virgil. Purgatorio was about him being lead by Virgil again up the Mountain of Purgatory to Heaven. Paradiso is about Heaven. Dante wrote books on the world and its people because the categories in his books can almost always classify us.

Berlioz

He first went to Paris to study Medicine which he did not enjoy and then was disgusted by it because of dissecting a dead body. To his parents dismay he abandoned medical studies to do music. He created a symphony called Symphonie fantastique, which a friend rewrote to play on piano.

Michelangelo

Michelangelo's dad saw his son was good at drawing and made him an apprentice of a painter named Ghirlandaio. He lived with the Medicis for a while and learned to sculpt. Once he got famous the pope, Pope Julius II, had him paint the celing of the Sistine Chapel. He is famous for sculpting David, a statue meant to look like David from the Bible story of David and Goliath.

Amerigo Vespucci

Amerigo Vespucci was born in 1454, in Portugal. He was usually accredited for the discovery that America is actually a new continent. But the letters that he probably wrote and made him quite famous were probably accounts based on his voyages and may not have been written by him. One fact I found interesting was that Christopher Columbus held no ill will towards Vespucci. The letters I just talked about pointed to him having 4 voyages but there is not must information on the fourth or if there was even a fourth voyage.
