The last two classes we did a lot about the Renaissance. Even Though I didn’t learn much, but I somehow receive some information about it. Form all the annoy stump cards and blunder cards, I knew that thermometer has been invented since the 1400s by Galileo, but not the one that you can put inside your mouth. Florin worth about six pounds of silver, but it doesn’t worth anything today. Aspirin is invented very lately after the 1700s. The last thing I learn is that researching is hard. The unlucky group always get unlucky assignments.

What new information has emerged

In Saturday, a plane fly from Nairobi to Cameroon had crashed at the north of Niete. According to the Kenya Airways CEO Titus Naikuni, he said that” The last message was received in Douala after takeoff and thereafter the tower was unable to contact the plane”Investigators think that it is because of a faulty alarm error for that crash, which killed 169 people.

What do I find interesting about this topic

This topic has a lot of things to find out. Like how many people died, why it crashed and where it crashed. The part where I find out answers is what interested me. And besides, I do know some of the answers, like169 people are killed and it crashed in somewhere near Douala.

What do I like about the initial posting

His article is well-organized, so when I read it, I can see what I am looking for straight away. The color of the background and words looks good. The pictures are clear and related to the topic.The most important is that his writing doesn’t sound like a bible. When I read it, I feel like keep reading it.

In today’s interview, I learn that although everyone is famous for different reasons, but they all spend the same effort on their interest and create new miracles to the world. Form all the interview that I’ve heard, I realize that a lot of them are not learning the thing that they are famous for before they finished university. Every single of them has a different talent. They seems to realize that they can’t only be good at the things they are famous for, because it gives a limit to the things they could do.

During the interview, there is one big error that we all have. While we are speaking, we aren’t speak loud enough and the computer can’t receive very well. As a result, it sounds very weird when I played it.

Copernicus, one of the major Renaissance person who speak against the church boldly and correct Ptolemy’s theory. Before Copernicus came out of his theory, everyone accept the theory that the Earth is the center of the universe. This untrue theory has been last for approximately 700 years. When Copernicus present this theory, he got himself into a lot of trouble. But, he use his courage to argue against the church, although it doesn’t get accepted after his death, but we can see his courage. He is able to change the world. He gives us new ideas, new information, and new way of thinking. His theory until now is still been use today. What a major genius he is.
