How does it impact your life today? What was its impact in the Colonies? Who were some of the signers? Are they American heroes? How does it compare with other “constitutions”? Okay so I didnt answer all of the questions last time.   I did some research and it seems that one of the differences [...]

Film Analysis April 30, 2008

So for my film I decided to watch The Crucible.  I actually saw this movie for the first time when we read the play manuscript in my English class sophomore year of highschool.  It’s been almost 6 years (wow, does time fly!) and I haven’t seen it since so I had forgotten a lot of [...]

Constitution April 29, 2008

How does it impact your life today? The constitution impacts my life today in a variety of ways. It has allowed me so much freedom. It allows me the oppurtunity to vote (19th ammendment) in the upcoming election and it allows me to freely worship in my religion however I please (1st amendment). It also allows freedom [...]

Summer’s Almost Here…!!! April 29, 2008

Well, I am happy to say we are in the final stretch here guys.  These past few weeks have been kind of tough.  At school it has been a crazy few weeks wih all of my classes preparing for finals coming up.  Also, at work we have spent the past few weeks working on preparing [...]

F.I.N.A.L.S. April 21, 2008

Well, with finals week fast approaching I am starting to really feel the heat.  I am trying to manage and have made a list of when different assignments are due and on what days I have tests.  That way I can keep track of things to do and in what order, according to priority.  I [...]

Dalai Lama April 20, 2008

I remember Dr. Berg told us about the Dalai Lama coming to visit this area so when I saw an article at www.freep.com I decided to check it out. The Dalai Lama was visiting the Crisler Arena in Ann Arbor and spoke on Saturday morning. He spoke on Buddhism for two hours. Apparently he has [...]

Focus East Asia April 18, 2008

Yesterday in class we traveled down to LA200 to check out the last presentation in the international series. It was a focus on East Asia and the research James Robson has done with Asian wooden statues.  It wasn’t only the statues themselves that he was interested in but their contents.  These small wooden statues had been [...]

Tuesday Class April 16, 2008

Yesterday in class Dr. Berg talked a little bit about his trip to Grand Rapids. He spoke about the importance of presenting professionally and how it affected his actual presentation that he did while there. One of the things that he mentioned that I thought was interesting was the importance of making sure all of [...]

Carrie’s Blessings April 15, 2008

     Okay, so Dr. Berg also asked us to write our own poem after we reviewed some of the Puritan poems. Here is mine and a short introduction that will hopefully help to explain where I was coming from a little bit.      My poem is kind of short but I tried to think about how a Puritan would think, of [...]

Fire & Ice Poetry April 13, 2008

  I checked out the website that was given in class for the Puritan Fire and Ice Poetry. I really enjoyed some of it. No, it wasn’t the most exciting stuff that I have ever read but it reminded me of people who were truly passionate about what they believed. It was very “fire and brimstone” but [...]
