Last night I took a trip to Spain. I went with the Kardashians and Gossolins. It was amazing. The Kardashians paid for the trip because they have an extreme amount of money. They gave me a few million. I was lucky. Kris Humphries also came with us. Kim got lost, but Kris found her because he was looking down at the crowd. It was very crowded. Kate Gossolin was freaking out the whole time. We made her get her own hotel. 6 of Kates 8 children were still with us as we were walking through the crowd. The other 2 decided the they wanted to leave. So they did. We had a great time. They invited me back next year, but instead, we are going to Russia.

**Assignment 2: Please write a two page, 1.5 space, 14 font paper on your Renaissance Man. This is due December 20th.** **Puppet Presentations will take place in class on December 20th. Have fun exploring.** Isaac Newton was born on January 4th, 1643. . His father died before he was born. At age three, her mother remarried. She left him with his grandmother, and never went back to see him. He was an English physicist, mathematician, astronomer, natural philosopher, alchemist (the the ancient art of changing base metals into gold and glass into precious jewels.), and theologian(studies the relationship of God to humankind). He built the first reflecting telescope, and is considered to be the greatest scientist who ever lived. He was highly advanced in his mathematical skills. He kept himself amused by building mechanical toys. Isaac Newton could never explain gravity. In his past, he secretly rejected Trinitarianism(the belief of the Trinity). He then feared of being accused of refusing Holy Orders. He never published his work on alchemy, but he created the physics law. He experimented what would happen if an apple dropped from a tree. He was very smart from a young age, and grew up to be a genius. He was not very social, and had no true friends. Isaac Newton’s work on the telescope affects my life, and others. Without his invention of the reflecting telescope, we wouldn’t know what is happening in space. He also found out the understandings of gravitational force. That helps the world today because it is a force between all masses. He is a smart man. I got this information at [] And []
