Example Exam Questions

From Primary sources of Greece and Perisans, how do you think things would have been different if Persians won?

If the Persians won the war, there would have been a different Athens.

1."...that thereby I may obtain vengeance from the Athenians for the wrongs committed by them against the Persians and against my father."
a. He would have been a dictator and not cared about the Athenians.
2."The sun will then shine on no land beyond our borders; for I will pass through Europe from one end to the other, and with your aid make of all the lands which it contains one country. "
a. Xeres wanted to make Athens under the rule of Persia. This would mean Europe would have been under the rule of Xeres and the Persians.
3"...not for any wrong that they had done us, but only to increase our empire, we should then allow the Greeks, who have done us such wanton injury, to escape our vengeance.”
a.Persians only wanted to conquer. They did not care about who they conquered, just that it was conquered.
4. Under the Persians, Athens would not have conquered how they did. All of the other countries off of Athens would not have become who they were because the land would have been under Persian control.

Is a Monarchy more Effective than Democracy?


Two types of government have greatly affected our government how it is today. These two types are monarchy, with a king or queen, and democracy with a president and representatives. In England around 1509, they had a monarchy and Henry VIII was the king. Our type of government today is a democracy. The government we have is a much better type of government than a monarchy.

In 1509, Henry VIII was crowned king after the death of his brother (“Web”). With him being the monarch, he had all of the control over England except for the church which the Pope was in charge of (“Web”). Because King Henry VIII had all the power he could do what he wanted, so he just focused his attention on foreign policies in Western Europe (“Web”). Also, during Henry’s reign, there was a problem with the church and caused the formation of the Church of England (“Web”). Henry wanted a son, but his current wife Catherine could not have one (“Web”). He therefore wanted to divorce her and marry Anne Boleyn (“Web”). The Pope however, because he was in charge of the church, would not let him have the divorce (“Web”). So, Henry broke away from the church and created the Church of England. Parliament passed the Act of Supremacy saying that Henry was 'the only supreme head of the Church of England called Anglicana Ecclesia' (“Web”). The first line of the Act states, “Albeit the king's Majesty justly and rightfully is and ought to be the supreme head of the Church of England…” (“Act”). This shows that the king is the only one in charge instead of the Pope.Because you had to follow what the king made law; it caused many religious differences between the Protestants and the Catholics (“Web”).

Democracies help the country more. They allow everyone to have a say in what happens to their nation instead of just allowing one person to. In this type of government there are representatives to serve as the “people’s” voice. If the people do not like the person they have elected, they then have the opportunity to take them out of office. Also, there are three branches, legislative, executive, and judicial (“More”). They help to keep the representative in line, so there is no corruption of the government (“More”). Our president is in charge of the government, but they have to pass their ideas through Congress. Our current president Obama has many problems that were pushed upon him as soon as he stepped up as president (Kakutani). He inherited a major financial crisis and two wars (Kakutani). About the war, Obama says, “There is no denying the progress,'' Obama said. ''Nor, however, can we deny the very serious challenges still facing Afghanistan.'' (“New”). Obama understands the need for him to pull our country together and face the challenges put in front of him. Because other people have a say in the government, it runs smoother because it involves everyone else’s ideas.

The monarchy of Henry was a great reign and he accomplished many achievements. Monarchies are not very good because they involve absolute power. If someone has absolute power then there are always problems. In a democracy there might be problems, but they can be fixed very easily with help from representatives.

Genius



Yes, I do believe he does. Leonardo was a great painter and inventor of the Rennaissance time period. Writing an account of Leonardo's life, Giorgio says "...so great was his genius, and such its growth..." ("Medieval"). Leonardo invented such things like how to help men move mountains and way to remove water from low places ("Medieval"). Leonardo's most famous painting, was the Last Supper with Christ and the Apostles ("Medieval"). To keep all of his great ideas a secret he wrote them in code in his notebook. Leonardo da Vinci was a great influential person of the Rennaissance.

Exploration


Exploration has shaped our culture to be how it is today. Exploration dates back to the beginning of the world as we know it. Native Americans explored the earth and its surroundings and Christopher Columbus decided to go off the norm and travel to America and explore it. People even explored the universe by going to the moon and helping us understand what is out of our reach from earth. During the Renaissance, the Medici family was one of the major families that explored and made Florence flourish with the beautiful arts. Exploration is definitely a good thing, even if there are consequences.
The Medici family generation went back to 1230 ("House”). They were one of the most powerful families of the time period of the Renaissance ("House”). The Medici family had friends everywhere. Giovanni Medici created the Medici Bank which was backed by the Pope ("House”). It became the wealthiest business in Florence of that time ("House”). The Medici’s worked very hard to become the most powerful family. The family was very into the arts and architecture ("House”). They explored it and took very big risks. One of the great risks they took included finding an architect that could finish building the most valuable building in Florence: its dome (“BBC”). The architect was named Fillipo Brunelleschi. He was a self-taught genius that had a very unorthodox type of art according to the other inhabitants of Florence (“BBC”). Medici, however, thought his style was great and started to pay him to do work (“BBC”). By doing this, concepts of the past were brought back which influenced many people across Europe (“BBC”). The Medici stayed by Brunelleschi side and backed him up on the building of the dome (“BBC”). Many people disagreed over his work and did not think it was going to be good, over many years; the dome was finally finished and became the greatest architect in Florence (“BBC”). Describing the dome, a man said “...It touches the skies and casts a shadow...” (“BBC”). By hiring Brunelleschi, the Medici family helped the people explore a new way of looking at the things around them.
The Medici family was very interactive with the arts of this time period. Art flourished amazingly during this time. Artists only made pieces of art if they were commissioned to ("House”). The Medici family paid many different artists to create art for them. They commissioned great artists such as Leonardo da Vinci and Michelangelo ("House”). The Medici family was also a direct involvement of the art by creating some of their own, especially Lorenzo Medici ("House”). Lorenzo was a poet and song writer ("House”). This was a very high point in the family ("House). “He [Lorenzo] had the greatest love and admiration for all who excelled in any art, and was a great patron of learning and of literary men…” ("Medieval”). From his love and admiration he helped Florence grow widely because of his exploration of the arts. “And for the purpose of enabling the Florentine youths to devote themselves to the study of letters, he established a university in the city of Pisa, where he employed the most eminent men of all Italy as professors.” ("Medieval”). Lorenzo created an art school to teach people art. In this school he featured some of his own art collection ("BBC”). Lorenzo was a great leader that greatly helped Florence to prosper.
The Medici family was a great, powerful family. They did not use their power for bad, but instead for the good. They helped the people of their city to see the beauty of art and to appreciate it by hiring artists. During their time, Florence was at one of its highest point. The Medici’s family’s exploration of art and architecture has greatly influenced the Renaissance and even our world today.

Medici


The Medici were a very powerful family with a lot of money. They created a bank and were backed by the Pope to become even more powerful. They paid artists and architects to do work for them which made the arts flourish because artists only worked if they were paid. They did it to be the most powerful family ahead of the other wealthy families and to be in charge of Florence.

External vs. Internal




Both of these explorations have huge effects on society. You first need to understand know math and science before you can calculate how you are going to explore the world. During the Renaissance, both math and science were huge. During the Reniassance they found a new scientific method that helped explore the outer world such as astronomy, physcs, and anatomy. During this time, it was more humanism then philosophy. They studied poetry, grammar, history, moral philosophy and rhetoric. Both these have a very long effect on society and still effect us today.

Hawkins


I don't really think there is life out there. Even if there was it would take longer than 2 years to get to it. If there is life, we shouldn't try to find it. They could end up being more powerful than us humans and take over Earth. We should let them live, and they won't bother us.Hopefully...

Middle and Rennaissance Art


Middle ages and its art was a lot different than the Rennaissance art. Most of the art built in the middle ages was for the church and it mostly had to do with Jesus. They also built many gorgeous stained glass windows for the church. In the Rennaissance, the artists stopped painting images of the church. They started to creat images from within and the human form.
