Oftentimes if it is a movie premiere, one could wait until the movie comes out on video until hosting the party. This way everyone cand watch the movie during the party.

...more so than overlooking the flawless, sugarcoated snow covering the Rocky Mountains. Oh, my, the aroma coming from that city- like freshly cut bouquets of flowers on a sunny spring day. Forget about having a foul taste because it will leave only an everlasting angelic savor in your mouth. Paradise to me is cheerful music and people also, it has the most beautiful scenery one can only imagine. All the masses of people would start getting together holding hands in a circle with Jesus in the middle and start singing in a heavenly language. The city is filled with thunderous sounds of every instrument one can imagine. Then, the angles pick up tambourines hitting them in rhythm along with the music, while people start dancing before the Lord. All of a sudden, Peter, Paul, Job, and all the great men and women of God lift up their hands and sing out with all of their capacity to Jehovah Jireh. A rainbow is prolonged across the land. It has the brightest colors of blue, yellow, pink, and orange. It is so beautiful; the majestic colors make one want to reach out and touch it. A huge waterfall sets at the edge of New Jerusalem. The water is so clear one could see a speck of dust traveling down to the bottom. As the water surges down to the base, it makes a voyage around the frame of the city. I can picture blankets of flowers all over the place for it illuminates the whole location and adds gaiety. Oh, how breathtaking the aroma is over there. The fragrance is a mixture of...

...get to own an expensive phone for the feeling high-class. I then thought about the poor and asked myself if what item they also really wanted. I realized that we should desire like the poor. When we gave the stampitas to the poor families in Laperal, they treat the stampitas like treasures, they put it in their hearts and sometimes kiss the stampita, and while I treat stampitas given to me like trash, everywhere you can find misplaced stampitas. I desire for a new and expensive phone while the poor desire for the Lord. Even if it is just a stampita of St. Joseph, they treasure it because the poor does not believe that an Iphone 6s can help them but only God can help them. All of us should desire like the poor. Not crying over worthless and really expensive things. Desire for God even if he is only a piece of paper with ink in it, desire for him because he will be the one to help you. Not seeing stampitas as mere pieces of papers but a passageway to praise the Lord. Dear Fr. Jimmy Marquez. Sorry for not passing my performance task about the insight from the visitation to Laperal because I was sick that that and I was absent and failed to pass it. I am also sorry because even though I am already late, I still failed to pass it earlier because I kept forgetting about the project. Next time I will pass my projects/requirements on time. Sincerely, Rafj...

...Cities and states were struggling with each other and feudalism was a cure to their problems. It was a way to gather and organize an army of men and keep them on hand to restore and keep order in the land. The feudal system consisted of vassals, someone who serves, arranged in a pyramid. At the base of the pyramid was the largest group, the peasants or serfs that provided food and services. Above them were the merchants and craftsmen that served the lords and knights. The knights and nobles served the barons, bishops, and other officials. At the peak of the pyramid sat the king, who ruled everyone. Although this “pyramid” may resemble the social and political structure of previous societies, such as ancient Egypt, the classes within the feudal system proved to be beneficial, almost reciprocal for all members of the society. The feudal structure began as a simple plan and grew more complex. When the feudal system began to form, small communities grew around a lord and his manor. The lord was granted land by the king. The lord then owned and controlled all of the land and everything on it....

...Follow Jesus Wholeheartedly Luke 18: 18-27 August 10, 2014 Have you ever started well and gave up half way? Began something, put your best foot forward, but, didn’t complete it? I was a runner in high school. I ran various events, however, my primary race was the 800-meter. There were two of us in my high school who were pretty good at this particular race. During my senior year I was coming back from an injury and was very excited to begin the season after training throughout the fall and winter. I remember very vividly my first race of the year. My teammate and I were both scheduled to run the 800. Prior to the race, I went over to my teammate and said, “here we go! Lets get first and second!” For some reason in my mind, I was thinking that he would be first and I would be second. We started the race and I immediately got right behind him. I trailed him the entire way. From the beginning of the race to the end of the race, I followed him. We ended up being #1 and #2 that day and I was #2. I think back to that race today, all of the training, all of the effort and in the midst of that race, I didn’t give it my all. The gun fired and I was in the midst of the race, I didn’t have victory on my mind, I was willing to take 2nd. I was willing to run the perfect race until I got close to the finish line. Have you ever started well and come up short? Stepped out in pursuit of God’s best, but didn’t complete it. Have you ever settled for...

...the unknown is rife in Lord of the Flies by William Golding and “The Sufi Tale”. In Lord of the Flies, the “beast” or the “Lord of the Flies” represents the fear of the unknown, while in “Sufi tale” the watermelon is the symbol of fear. The boys in Lord of the Flies react almost the same as the villagers in “Sufi Tale”, they both cower and are afraid of this unknown. The settings of both stories are idyllic, but the fears have ruined the paradise by causing chaos. However the endings of both stories are entirely opposite due to the leaders’ solutions. Since the settings in both stories are both idyllic, lives should be easy, peace, and happy. “The Sufi Tale” happens in a small quiet agricultural village. Villagers use simple tools and have plenty of trees, fruits, and food. People there have happy lives. Although in Lord of the Flies, the boys’ plane crushed, the island is perfect just like the Eden paradise. The boys do not have to worry about food, because the island is full of fruit trees and small animals that they can hunt such as pigs. Also, the weather of the island is warm, so they do not have a problem about how to keep themselves away from freezing at night. Therefore the island is idyllic, even Ralph said “this is a good island” and “we can have a good time on this island”. Even though the fears of the unknown are presented in different forms in two stories, the chaos it causes does not change. Fear of the unknown is represented in Lord of the Flies by the “beast”...

...“Ang Lumang Paintbrush” is a well-known short film by artist Joey Velasco. “Ang Lumang Paintbrush” talks about how he, with a very old paintbrush, maximized his talents for the Lord. The artist is in search for the perfect man to paint for his painting, a remake of the famous painting “The Return of the Prodigal Son”. In the short story, the man, Mang Crispin, whom Joey Velasco has chosen was a bit cold towards him and Joey indeed had a very hard time putting up with Mang Crispin. One day, the Mang Crispin suddenly got sick, so Joey had to rush him to the hospital wherein several revelations surfaced. The doctor who took care of the Mang Crispin turned out to be his own grandson. To cut things short, it was a short mini reunion for both Mang Crispin and his grandson. What struck me the most about it is the fact that yes, the things God have provided for us may be old and useless already, but it is honestly up to us whether or not we maximize them. Here, the old paintbrush may be old and may seem useless already, but it yielded into something amazing, the painting. That old paintbrush made me realize that we all have a purpose in this world. God called us all for a purpose. We should never think that we do not have a purpose in this world, because indeed, we all have. I believe that God causes all things to happen for a reason. We may not know yet now what or why, but in His due time indeed, we are bound to know more about what He has in store for all of us. My life is a tough...

...If Martha’s friends were making fun of her on social media I would step in and help instead of doing nothing. I would step in and help because so I could help someone else who is in need, and to make a difference. I would step in because this is an act of cyberbullying that is not good and it can make someone uncomfortable about themselves and school. I would do this because no matter who it is, it is not right to make fun of anyone. One of the reasons I would step in and help Martha is because I want to help someone who is in need. If it was me that this was happening to I would be delighted for someone to help me with my situation. The worst thing that could happen is you get called a name by someone's “friend” calling you a name and it won’t matter because it’s not like you’re going to have a rumor going on about you around the school calling you a snitch. Why would someone else that calls you a friend talk bad about you behind their back if they are your friend. If I were in her situation I would want as much help as I can have to help me solve the problem. Another reason why I would help Martha out is so I can make a difference. I want her to remember years down the line that a young man that she barely even knew stepped in and helped in the situation. If I didn’t do anything I could feel guilty for not doing something for a problem that was right in front of me. If I don’t do anything or help the situation I wouldn’t feel bad because I tried to help, and even if it doesn’t...

...differences? The similarities between samurai and knights were greater, than the differences. This can be shown by looking at three areas social problems, training and armor, and code of honor, life, and death. The first area of important similarities was social problems. According to Document A social order in feudal Japan and Europe were very similar. In Japan they had emperor, shogun, daimyo, samurai, peasant farmers, Artisans, trade people, and merchants. The social order in feudal Europe is a pope, king, lord, lesser lords, knights, artisans/ merchants, and peasant serfs. The people that make this one of my similarities is the samurai/ Knights, the two merchants that are on the Social Order in Feudal Japan and the Social Order in Feudal Europe, Shogun/ lords, and then the last one is both of the japan and europe social order is the artisan. Also according to Document B the Samurai’s life was not all to him he was a big part of his lord's life and if he didn't obey his lord the samurai’s life was not the only one at disposal it was his family such as his kids and wife. These similarities are significant because in Document A and Document B both involve their social order in Japan and Europe feudalism. A second area of important similarities was training and armor. According to Document C Samurai’s and knight’s both had the same training such as in their childhood they would start to train around four or five. Then in Document D is about their armor and the goods of it and...

...the medieval model of government predating the birth of the modern nation-state. Feudal society is a military hierarchy in which a ruler or lord offers mounted fighters a fief(medieval beneficium), a unit of land to control in exchange for a military service. The individual who accepted this land became a vassal, and the man who granted the land become known as his liege or his lord. The deal was often sealed by swearing oaths on the Bible or on the relics of saints. Often this military service amounted to forty days' service each year in times of peace or indefinite service in times of war, but the actual terms of service and duties varied considerably on a case-by-case basis. Factors such as the quality of land, the skill of the fighter, local custom, and the financial status of the liege lord always played a part. For instance, in the late medieval period, this military service was often abandoned in preference for cash payment, or agreement to provide a certain number of men-at-arms or mounted knights for the lord's use.In the late medieval period, the fiefdom often became hereditary, and the son of a knight or lesser nobleman would inherit the land and the military duties from his father upon the father's death. Feudalism had two enormous effects on medieval society.(1) First, feudalism discouraged unified government. Individual lords would divide their lands into smaller and smaller sections to give to lesser rulers and knights. These lesser noblemen in turn would subdivide...

Stein and Robert could agree that the moon is not entirely successful with it - but they would on the other hand do not have a lost lean to light the way for them, so they did not complain .

...new innovations were needed to help turn the tide. The Hundred Years’ War morphed the medieval ways of life into a whole new culture. Many factors during the Hundred Years’ War led to fall of the medieval ways of life. The first major factor was the long bow. A bow that was lightweight and cheep allowed peasants to be as powerful as a knight. The arrows were fatal from 100 yards away. This destroyed the ranks of the knights. During battle the arrows would kill the horses making knights immobile. Now peasants were as strong as knights, which destroyed the feudal structure and the idea of chivalry. The Hundred Years’ War left a sense of Nationalism through out England and France. This made the population fight for the country more then lords destroying the feudal system even more. The Bubonic plague was one of the more major factors pushing the feudal system and medieval ways off the cliff. It cut the population in most cities in half, which struck the hearts of many peoples faith. They watched thousands die and though of it as a punishment of god. Since it never stopped they noticed their prayers useless and there was now a sense of hopelessness. This was a huge plow to the church ending the ways of the feudal system and medieval...

...that would lead to the emergence of “feudal warfare” in the early Middle Ages and there would be an equal number that would lead to its decline in the later middle ages as well yet to find the meaning of “feudal warfare” one has to look first at where this notion came from, and that was Feudalism. Feudalism was a contrasting system dealing with political and military relationships existing among members of the higher social class, Kings, Lords and other owners of large lands in Western Europe during the Middle Ages. The Feudal system started by the granting of fiefs, chiefly in the form of land and labor, in return the lord would receive political and military services that was usual sealed by oaths of fidelity, instead of a written out contract. The Lord and vassal would be interlocked in a bunch of mutual rights and obligations, to the advantage of both. Where the lord owed his vassal protection and the vassal owed his lord a specified number of days annually in military service and supplies of goods, and the lord were expected to provide a military for his king. With that “feudal warfare” would arise as Kings would try to obtain more land then each other and expand their territory. As mentioned in class the Carolingian Empire was the first great European dynasty, it would unite all the small Frankish kingdoms that had established themselves in Gaul and this is where the early form of feudalism was used to raise the Carolingian armies. One of the major conditions...

...MODERN TEXT; ACT III Scene 4 The stage is set for a banquet. MACBETH enters with LADY MACBETH, ROSS, LENNOX, LORDS, and their attendants. MACBETH You know your own ranks, so you know where to sit. Sit down. From the highest to the lowest of you, I bid you a hearty welcome. LORDS Thanks to your majesty. MACBETH I will walk around and mingle with all of you, playing the humble host. My wife will stay in her royal chair, but at the appropriate time I will have her welcome you all. LADY MACBETH Say welcome to all of our friends for me, sir, for in my heart they are all welcome. The FIRST MURDERER appears at the door. MACBETH And they respond to you with their hearts as well. The table is full on both sides. I will sit here in the middle. Be free and happy. Soon we will toast around the table. (approaching the door and speaking to the MURDERER) There’s blood on your face. FIRST MURDERER Then it must be Banquo’s. MACBETH I’d rather see his blood splattered on your face than flowing through his veins. Did you finish him off? FIRST MURDERER My lord, his throat is cut. I did that to him. MACBETH You are the best of the cutthroats. But whoever did the same to Fleance must also be good. If you cut both their throats, then you are the absolute best.
