The Great Schism

            The Great Schism was the seperation of the Eastern and Western Roman Church. The 5 main bishops were from Jerusalem, Alexandria, Antioch, Constantinople, and Rome and they were called patriarchies. They were supposed to be in a state of unity, but a dispute broke out between the bishop from Rome (he was the pope) and the bishop from Constantinople. The first act that spread them apart was that, Pope Leo III crowned Charlemange as the Holy Roman Emperor. However, the eastern part of the empire already had an Emperor! The second event was when the bishop from Constantinople didn't follow the Nicene Creed which was a statement of faith. As a result of these and some other events. The bishops from Rome and Constantinople excomunicated each other in 1054. (not the same two popes...)

Agatha Christie

Recently for school I have been reading some Agatha Christie novels. So for an assignment I am going to write about Agatha Christie.
 
     Agatha Christie was born September 15th 1890. She started writing short stories when she was 18 and her first book, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, was published in 1920 when she was 30 years old.  When she was 24 she married a man named Archie Christie, he was a World War I fighter pilot. While he was fighting Agatha worked as a nurse. In 1926 Archie asked for a divorce, and Agatha disappeared. She was found 3 weeks later and she claimed that she had lost her memory. So no one really told her about Archie. In 1930 she remarried a guy name Max Mallowan. At the end of it all, she had written over 66 novels, as well as many short stories and screenplays. She also wrote a series of romantic novels under the pen name of Mary Westmacott.
