The Renaissance was a rebirth and rediscovery of music, literature, science, and art. The Renaissance started in Italy because the famous artists and inventors had a spark of inspiration. An important invention from the Renaissance is the printing press. The most important figures in the Renaissance were Leonardo da Vinci, Michelangelo, Raphael, and Donatello. The Renaissance was a rebirth of happiness and learning!

Eddie Rickenbacker was an amazing fighter pilot of World War 1 and World War 2 he had 26 confirmed kills and many more only 2 months. He was a race car driver, and a mechanic. He was very nice. He didn’t want to kill people in war he just protected his people.
Eddie Rickenbacker was an amazing fighter pilot. He was an amazing race car driver and mechanic. Eddie competed in the Indianapolis 500 and set a speed record of 134 mph. Eddie was one of the most successful race car drivers of his time. He made 40,000 dollars per year which was a great sum at that time. After his race car driving career, he became a mechanic in the war.
Eddie Rickenbacker loved speed and machines. He made go-carts and rode them very fast when he was a kid. Because of that love of speed he became a race car driver. When Eddie went to war, he was a great mechanic. But Eddie wanted to fly. Eddie got to fly on his free time but never in battle. One day Eddie became the engineering officer at the Issoudun aerodrome and flew whenever he wanted.
Eddie soon after got assigned to the newly formed 94th aerosquadron. He and his roommates James Hall, Hamilton Coolidge, James Meissner, Reed Chambers, and Harley Cook unpacked in the 94th aerodrome. April 29th was Lieutenant Eddie Rickenbackers first battle. He and Captain James Hall had the afternoon alert. At five o’clock they received a call from the French headquarters at Beaumont.
Dear Family,
I am having a rough time in California. I don’t have much money or food to eat. The Gold Rush has just started by James Marshal at Sutters Mill. Some people are getting gold but most people aren’t. I haven’t gotten any yet and I probably won’t. I hope it stops, barely anybody will get anything from the Gold Rush and its very crowded.I probably won’t be rich when I come back.
I hope you are having a better time then i am, Jack

Dear Lucy,
I am indeed very happy. I am happy for you that you have found your heart’s desire. Prairie and Sierra are fine and so is your new father, Clyde Claymore. I am now Mrs. Claymore. So you have stayed in Lucky diggins, and have changed your name back to California.
I bet you wish that Gram and Grandpop are with you. I know how much you miss them. Butte I bet is very happy with the 51st word for liquor. I really miss you too.
I wish I could be with you and Butte and that would be my heart’s desire. I miss you all to much.
Love, Mama

If I were president, I would do awesome stuff like make a country of peace, eat pizza, and hang out at pool parties with some people possibly you guys. I would make everything fair for everybody. Still, if you break the law you will go to jail. The country would have no pollution because, all cars would be electric. I would start a pizza, burrito, and burger place. Next door there would be a dessert place. It would have every desert ever invented. The USA would be a good country. And since dogs lives are seven times shorter than humans, they should live their dream. If they want to be a doctor they are a doctor. If they want to be a chef they are a chef. If you don’t let them live their dream you die. Dogs would love me as president, so you should to. After all, dogs are awesome

A Serf in the City
If I was a serf I would live in the city because, you can be free. In the manor you get bossed around all day. Although, in the city it smells like barf, you can make a lot more money. There is a bunch of animals walking around and the sewage is terrible but, it’s better than being a servant to a lord. In the city, you get payed for doing your job when in the manor you don’t get payed. That is why I’d live in the City!

I chose my coat of arms because eagles are brave. Nobody would attack me because my army is powerful. Our land is free and we have pride in our battles. The sun represents our power. Nobody can defeat us.
