Blog Assignment #16 / Hershey Celebration

Assignment #16:

      Milton Hershey was born on September 13, 1857, to Veronica "Fanny" Snavely and Henry Hershey, in the central Pennsylvania town Derry Church, renamed Hershey in 1906. His only sibling, Serena, was born in 1862. Due to the family’s moves he dropped out of school after he turned 12 years old. He then served a four-year beginner with a Lancaster candy and ice-cream maker, Joseph Royer. In 1876 after completing his beginner experience he established his first candy-making business in Philadelphia. The Candy business failed due to lack of finance and customers. He moved out westward to Colorado with his father. Once Milton and his father got there  he then looked for a secure job, unlike his father who went in the search of gold.

       With the proceeds from the 1900 sale of the Lancaster Caramel Company, Hershey initially acquired some 1,200 acres of farm land about 30 miles northwest of Lancaster, near his birthplace of Derry Church. There, he could hold the large supplies of fresh milk needed to produce milk chocolate. Excited by the potential of milk chocolate, which at that time was a Swiss luxury product, Hershey was determined to develop a formula for milk chocolate and market and sell it to the American public. Through hard times he created his own formula for milk chocolate. Hershey continued to experiment and perfect the process of making milk chocolate.

        The main candy that comes from Hershey that we eat today is the original Hershey Milk Chocolate Bar. Most people like it because well people like chocolate so that makes it even better. Not only that but it's sweet and almost everyone has a sweet tooth. Another good reason is it can also be romantic which is why people purchase chocolate on Valentines Day. So as you can see not only has Milton Hershey had an effect on our lives but his chocolate too.

Blog Assignment #15/Monet.

Assignment #15: Claude Monet
          Claude Monet was born on 14 November 1840. He was the second son of Claude Adolphe Monet and Louise Justine Aubrée Monet. One interesting fact I learned is that his father wanted him to go into the family grocery business, but Monet wanted to become an artist. His mother was a singer. On 1 April 1851, Monet entered Le Havre secondary school of the arts. In 1845 the family moved to Le Havre, France, where Monet's father and uncle ran a business selling supplies for ship. Through an exhibition of his drawings at a local frame shop in 1858, Monet met Eugène Boudin, a landscape painter who became a great influence on the young artist.
           By 1859 Monet was determined to pursue an artistic career. Monet was in Paris for several years and met other young painters who would become friends. By the time his was sixteen, in 1856, most of the traits that were to make Monet a great painter were evident. He was not religious and had little faith in anything that was not drawn from direct experience. It was at this time that Monet found his first mentor in a local painter, Louis Eugene Boudin. Monet later confessed that the first time he had seen Boudin's nature studies displayed in the same shop window as his own caricature portraits, "His painting inspired me with an intense aversion and, without knowing the man, I hated him."

             In 1859, at the age of 19, Monet went to Paris. From 1860 to 1862, Monet was called up for military service and chose to serve in Algeria because he was attracted to the sky. The southern light and color he experienced in Africa excited him and remained an inspiration throughout his life. After he was sent home on sick leave, his sympathetic aunt bought a substitute to complete the remaining five years of his service for him. In 1867, Monet was in acute financial difficulties. His friend Bazille bought Women in the Garden, an enormously challenging piece painted entirely out-of-doors. So that Monet would have an income, Bazille arranged to pay for it in installments over four years. So as you can see nothing stopped this man from doing what he loved, and that's why he is remembered today.

                                               

                      

Blog Assignment #14-G.Muller

Assignment #14:

          George Muller was German his original name was Johann Georg Ferdinand Müller. He was born in Kroppenstedt, a village in the Kingdom of Prussia which is located in Russia.  In 1828, Müller almost started working with Jews in England.  He believed that God would provide for his needs as he did his Christian work. He became the pastor of a chapel in Devon, and soon after, he married Miss Mary Groves.   While he was the pastor of the church, he would not take a regular salary.

            Müller and his wife began working with orphans in 1836. They then kept thirty girls in their own home.  Soon after that, they opened three more orphanages. That made the total of children they cared for about 130. In 1849, that home opened. By 1870, more than 2,000 children were being helped in their five homes. To this point, Müller had never asked for financial support, and he did not go into debt. Even though their five homes cost over 100,000 to build. Many times, he would get free food donations only hours before it was time to eat.

           That helped his faith in God even more. Every morning after breakfast there was a time of Bible reading and prayer. Every child was given a Bible when they left the orphanage. The children had nice clothes. Müller even had a school inspector make sure things were done right. Even though he died in Bristol at the age of 93, George Muller was and still is a very inspirational person that I think any boy should look up to. He defiantly has inspired many lives.

She was the daughter of Francis 1 who was a holy roman emperor, and Austrian Empress Maria Theresa. She was born on the same day the earthquake Lisbon. As with most royal daughters, Marie Antoinette was promised in marriage in order build a diplomatic alliance between her birth family and the family of her husband. Marie Antoinette married a French dauphin, Louis, grandson of Louis XV of France, in 1770.
          Marie Antoinette assumed the title of Queen of France and of Navarre when her husband, Louis XVI of France, ascended the throne upon the death of Louis XV in May 1774. After seven years of marriage, she gave birth to a daughter, Marie-Thérèse Charlotte, the first of four children.At the height of the French Revolution, Louis XVI was deposed and the monarchy abolished on 10 August 1792; the royal family was subsequently imprisoned at the Temple Prison.Nine months after her husband's execution, Marie Antoinette was herself tried, convicted of treason, and executed by guillotine on 16 October 1793.
           Marie Antoinette is famous for the saying  “If they have no bread, then let them eat cake!”. Which ment as long as I have the things I need I don't care.On July 14, 1789 a mob of Parisian citizens took control of the Bastille Prison in Paris. This marked the beginning of the French Revolution. During this time of revolution the Queen became the most hated member of the Royal family and was often viewed as “the Austrian woman.” After Marie Antoinette’s short and unfair trial she was ordered to death. Marie Antoinette so they say was beheaded on October 16th, 1793 at the Place de la Concorde in Paris. Websites say that as one of the most popular historical figures, the character of Marie Antoinette had appeared in many movies.

Warm up: If I could ask God 5 Questions my first question would be how many people are in haven? To me I have always wanted to ask that question. My second question would be if any of my family members made it to heaven it's always good to believe that they are but it's different when you know. My third question would be what does hell look like. I would ask that because for some odds reason I always wanted to know. My forth question would be when is the world going to end, and how is it going to end. Finally, what do the houses in heaven look like, or how big they are.

Assighnment #10

Warm up: If I had a million dollars I would give to people that gave to me. For example my mom and dad I would give them some money to pay them back a small amount of what i took from them. The second thing iI would to is go on a vacation to Hawaii because I have always wanted to go there. Finally, the last thing I would do is go shopping like there is no tommorow, and take all my friends with me. Those are some of the things I would do if I had a million dollars.

Assighnment#10:
      
         World Religions: Buddhism
I like to learn about other religions and today i learned about Buddhism on www.worldbookonline.com/pl/forkids. It says that buddhism is one of the major religions of the world. Also that it was started in India about 500 B.C. by a teacher called Buddha which explians the name. Another fact that I learned was today buddhism has more than 350 million followers just like twitter. Buddhists believe in Buddha, his teachings, and the religious community he started. This religion to me is very interesting, and has a lot more facts I would like to learn about.

Assighnment#9

Warm up: The place I choose to write about for my feature story was Six Flags. I choose Six Flags because it is one of my most favorite places to go to in the summer. Another reason is I love to get on rides and feel the rush. Also it has so many other things to do besides getting on ride. My most favorite thing to do is go to their water park called "Slashworld". So as you can see there are not a lot of reasons for not liking Six Flags it is really a wonderful place.

Assignment #9:

             People: Black History Month

I am writing about black history month because it is coming up soon. Black History Month is a yearly celebration, in February, of the achievements of African Americans. One interesting fact is it is the same month that the great black leader Frederick Douglas(February 14) who fought to gain rights for all people, and Abraham Lincon (February 12), who helped end slavery. This month gives us a chance to honor people who have put their life on the line, and that's why I love this month.

          Sports and Hobbies: Dance

My second thing to write about is dance. I choose to write about it because I do dance, and I really enjoy it. Dance is the movement of the body in time to music. On thing I found interesting is that dance can be considered an art as well as a hobby. My most favorite fact is scientists believe that dancing may have played an important part in hunting and other things people did long ago. To me The kinds of dances people do, and how and why they do them, says a lot about their way of life.

         Places: Amusement park

My most favorite place to go is to an amusement park. An amusement park is a permanent outdoor entertainment area that most of the time offers games, rides, and shows. An amusement park offers many kinds of things, such as roller coasters, Ferris wheels, merry-go-rounds, and games. Today, theme parks have replaced many traditional amusement parks.

       
Arts: Blues

Blues are a type of music that can from African Americans. Blues may have come from “field hollers” used by workers calling to one another in fields in the Southern United States. Also By the late 1800's, country blues were heard. I love to hear the blues every once in a while it makes your soul move....lol.  To me blues were the best invention when it comes to music.
