...people did not fight in Uther's country. Uther loved a beautiful woman, Igraine, and he wanted to marry her. But she did not love him and he was very sad about that. Merlin was a very clever man and he knew a lot of magic. He could change into an animal or bird. Sometimes, when he used magic, nobody could see him. He also helped people with his magic, and one day he came to King Uther. 'You can marry Igraine,' he said. 'I will help you. But when you have a child, you will have to give the boy to me.', I will give him to you,' said the King. He married Igraine and later they had a baby son. They called him Arthur. When Arthur was three days old, a very old man arrived at the door of the King's house. It was Merlin. King Uther took the child in his arms and gave him to Merlin. Merlin took the child away. He gave the boy, Arthur, to a good knight. His name was Sir Ector. So Arthur lived with Sir Ector and his son, Kay, and the two boys were brothers. A short time after this happened, King Uther was very ill. He did not get better. He called for Merlin because he wanted to talk about the future of his country. Merlin came and listened to the King. 'I know that I am going to die,' King Uther said. 'Who will be king after me? ' 'Call your knights and great men,' Merlin told the King. 'Tell them', 'My son, Arthur, will be the next king!' King Uther told his people this before he died. But a lot of people wanted to be king, so the knights and great men began to fight. There was no new king...

...“Terrible Things” by Eve Bunting and “First They Came For the Jews” by Martin Niemoller both are similar and have a very important meaning. The quote “Standing up for what you know is right is not always easy..It is easier to look the other way. But if you, terrible things can happen.” applies to both Eve Bunting’s story and Martin Niemoller’s poem in many ways. In my opinion this quote means that even if bad things are happening around you, even if they’re not happening to you, stand up and help others. The have many similarities and differences as well. Eve Bunting’s “Terrible Things” is a good example of the quote for many reasons. One example is after Little Rabbit asked why the Terrible Things wanted to take the birds. Big Rabbit responded...

...“That day when evening came, he said to his disciples, ‘Let us go over to the other side’. Leaving the crowd behind, they took him along, just as he was, in the boat. There were also other boats with him. A furious squall came up, and the waves broke over the boat, so that it was nearly swamped. Jesus was in the stern, sleeping on a cushion. The disciples woke him and said to him, ‘Teacher don’t you care if we drown?’ He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, ‘Quiet! Be still!’ Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. He said to his disciples, ‘Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?’ They were terrified and asked each other, ‘Who is this? Even the wind and the waves obey him!’” JESUS’ BAPTISM “At that time Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptised by John in the Jordan. As Jesus was coming up out of the water, he saw heaven being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. And a voice came from heaven: ‘You are my son, whom I love; with you I am well pleased.’” THE TRANSFIGURATION After six days, Jesus took Peter, James and John with him and led them up a high mountain, where they were all alone. There he was transfigured before them. His clothes became dazzling white, whiter than anyone in the world could bleach them. And there appeared before them Elijah and Moses who were talking with Jesus. Peter said to Jesus, ‘Rabbi, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters- one for you, one for moses and...

...Figliomeni 1 Avery Figliomeni Mr. Young ENG 3U July 14, 2013 The Strangers that Came to Town Sometimes if you are not accepted by others, you may not feel like you have a lot of freedom. In the short story, “The Strangers that Came to Town”, Ambrose Flack is showing that true freedom is about being accepted. In the story the Duvitch family immigrated to escape starvation, separation and possible assassination. The Duvitches wanted to be free. Ambrose Flacks shows how people in the neighborhood and community didn’t accept the Duvitch family, however towards the end they started to realize that they were good people. In the beginning of Ambrose Flacks story, “The Strangers that came to Town” the Duvitches were not accepted by their neighbors. Ambrose Flack is showing that the Duvitches neighbors aren’t very accepting. People who live on Syringa St. with the Duvitches aren’t very accepting because the Duvitches are not well off, they look different and they are considered born savages. Firstly, people in the Duvitches neighborhood don’t accept them because they were a poor family. “But the Duvitches were marked people. They were the one struggling family in a prosperous community—and poverty, amid prosperity, is often embarrassing and irritating to the prosperous” (3). This proves that people were embarrassed by the Duvitches because they are not wealthy like most people on Syringa St. Secondly; the Duvitches were not accepted by their neighbors because...

...The story Freedom Walkers are about remembering the past and the beliefs of those who came before us. The story “I am a native of North america” is about remembering the beliefs and traditions of those who came before us. I think that it is essential to remember the past. So we can recall the works of those who came before us. Something that could happen if we forget the past is is we could still be deciding that (the color of your skin determined where you could sit on a bus public bus. Russell Freedman page 413) . Another reason is so we don’t remake (strict laws-called “Jim crow” laws Russell Freedman page 413). It is essential to know the beliefs and the traditions of those who came before us so that we understand our history more....

...Word (Jesus) existed. The Word was with God and the Word was God.’ Mankind had forgotten the existence of God completely and had sinned beyond pardoning. Therefore, God sent His son Jesus Christ into the world to remind us that there is God, to set aside those from doing errant and give eternal life to whosoever believed in Him. The Bible says, ``If you keep on sinning, it shows that you belong to Satan … But the Son of God (Jesus) came to destroy these works of the devil. The person who has been born into God`s family does not make a practice of sinning, because now God`s life is in him``(1 John 3:8-9). Christ Jesus came into the world to save us from bondage and Satan. God chose the right time for Jesus to come God prearranged that the time was right for His Son (Jesus) to come into the world. It was the right time in the world and was also the right time in God`s great plan. From the beginning of the world, God had prepared for this. This should both surprise and impress us, because God showed his love for men. Galatians 4:4, 5 tell that, “But when the right time finally came, God sent His own Son. He came as the son of a human mother and lived under the Jewish Law, to redeem those who were under the Law, so that we might become God`s sons.” God chose Mary to be the mother of Jesus Why did God choose Mary to be the mother of Jesus Christ? He could have chosen any rich woman, yet He chose a simple and poor woman. Because God wants to use men for His noble...
