<span style="color: #0000ff; font-family: 'Arial Black',Gadget,sans-serif; font-size: 110%;">Gumby and me wanted to go see a volcano in the eastern hemisphere. We didn't know where to go so we went on google and typed in, "Volcanos in the eastern hemisphere," and Mt. Fiji came up. So we decided to go there. When we arrived it was so tall that we looked straight up to see the top of it. Gumby and me asked the travel guide if he could get us on a helicopter and fly us up to the top. After we got to the top ash, rock, and lava started to shoot out of it. The travel guide told us to put on parachutes to jump out of the plain because it was getting to dangerous to keep flying. So we jumped and just missed a massive rock. When we got close enough we oppened are parachutes and landed safely. I said to Gumby, "Man, that was an adventure."

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 120%;">Michelangelo was born on March 6, 1475, in Caprese, Italy. He was the second of five brothers. He was sent to grammar school. But he didn’t like to go to school; he preferred to copy paintings from churches. His earliest sculpture is the Battle of the Centaurs. He made Battle of the Centaurs when he was 17. He was invited to be an apprentice to painter Domenico Ghirlandaio when he was 13 years old. When he told his dad he was going to be an apprentice to Domenico Ghilandaio Michelangelo’s dad was shocked and angered.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">Some struggles that Michelangelo went through are, his mother died when he was six years old. He also pushed himself too much and he got really mad at his apprentices. Michelangelo was also a rival to Raphael. Michelangelo was thought of as, “strange or weird.” Michelangelo also slept in his clothes he wore during the day and slept in boots.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">In April 1508, Michelangelo got asked by Julius II to paint twelve figures of apostles and some decorations on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. Working high above the chapel floor, on scaffolding, Michelangelo painted, between 1508 and 1512, some of the finest pictorial images of all time. On the vault of the papal chapel, he devised an intricate system of decoration that included nine scenes from the Book of Genesis, beginning with God Separating Light from Darkness and including the Creation of Adam and Eve, the Temptation and Fall of Adam and Eve, and the Flood. The painting of the Sistine Chapel was his greatest accomplishment. Michelangelo's crowning achievement as an architect was his work at St. Peter's Basilica, where he was made chief architect in 1546. The building was being constructed according to Donato Bramante's plan, but Michelangelo basically became responsible for the altar at the end of the building on the exterior, and for the final form of its massive dome.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',Times,serif; font-size: 130%;">The painting of the Sistine Chapel means to me that working hard can accomplish great things. The reason for that is because painting for four years straight on a ceiling is really hard and will get really boring extremely fast. So to have the drive to paint on the ceiling for four years is unbelievable.
