Last blog of the year!!!

This semester was alright the grades were alright but could of been better. I like how we did our classwork by doing power points and then reviewing and then taking the test. It helped me out a lot by getting me a better grade. I always looked forward everyday to come to West Civ class because I knew that we would have fun but also learn at the same time. But I am definitely will not miss these blogs because I always forgot to do them which made me loose easy points.

5/30 Class

Today in class we learned a lot about Luther. Luther was a hated person in the catholic church because he nailed a piece of paper on the church door and told the church 95 things they need to change and but the church hates it and wants to go to court for it. But Luther refuses and doesn't show up to court and becomes an outlaw and he has to flee. The counsquences were his writings were banned and he was captured into a castle and was there for one year and translated the new testament into German and once he came back some of his ideas became a real thing.

Today in class we learned more about the renaissance and about Martin Luther who was a monk. But before he was a monk he was going to law school because his dad wanted him to be a lawyer. Beside hi learning to be a lawyer he also teached theology at a university. One day he was riding back to home and a bolt of lighting crashed right next to him and cried that he will change his ways and become a monk. He did then two weeks later he dropped out of law school crushing his fathers dream and following the way of God and would be away from the rest of the world beside the other monks. He would have no wife just him and god.
