Catagorizing Fruit

A lot of fruit falls under the catagory of simple fruit. Simple fruits are then seperated between, fleshy fruit and dry fruit.

What is Fruit???

          When you hear the word fruit you are probably thinking of those delcious.... fruits, that we eat! But there is so much more to fruit than just the stuff we eat. By definition the fruit is the flowering part of a  plant that contains the seeds. There are fruits that we eat, Apple, Plums, Pear, Lemon, Banana and there are fruit that we don't eat, Milkweed pods, Holly, Ivy, Mistletoe and Suicide tree fruit (I wouldn't eat that either!) Tomorrow I will post about the different catagories of fruit.

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.

Swimming across the lake

Something I forgot to mention about my trip to Michigan is that on the second to last day we swam all the way across the lake, from one side back to my Grandparents house. It took about 30 minutes but it was a lot of fun. I was pretty tired by the end and ready to be done. My little cousin Ryan, who is 5, swam across for the first time which was great for him. I am not sure if he actually swam the whole time, but at least he tried it!

The begining of my new soccer career

Yesterday I had my first practice in Iowa City, It was a lot of fun. I am very excited for the up coming season. It will deffinently make the hour and a half drive worth it. We, myself and two others from my old team, and we just kind of hung around a while getting to know the other guys. I already knew most of them pretty well, cause I had guest played with them. Then we started playing some, we just passed the ball around in a gride. Then we played some small sided posestion. After that we played on a small field to goal. We have another one on Thursday and the first game is only a few weeks away! I also have started training for Cross Country alot and out first meet is September the 2nd.

Protostar Camp

Last week I went to a creative arts camp at my church. It was so much fun! Every day we all showed up, 12 of us, and just hung around for a while. Then we practiced the dance we were doing as a big group, which was awesome! After that we split in groups, Drama and Spoken Word. I was in the Spoken Word group. At the end of the week we had a nice performance to show what we had worked on.
