History of Chocolate--Harrison's Assignment

• Chocolate was known in 1100 BC if not sooner.
• Majority of Mesoamerican people(Maya and Aztecs) made chocolate beverages.
• Been cultivated for three millennias in Central America and Mexico.
• Also used the white pulp9around the cacao bean) as a source of fermantable sugars for an alcholic drink.
• Cacao pods are harvested, the beans with their surrounded pulp are moved to bins for ferment. The fermentation gives them the familiar taste. Then they are dried and transported for the plantation to a manufactoring building where they are cleaned, roasted, and graded. The shells are removed to extract nib, finally the nibs are ground and liquidfied.
• In 1765 the U.S. was introduced.
• My favorite I guess would be Guittard.

3. According to urban-myth scholar Jan Harold Brunvand, the myth of the "poison dress" was one of the first American urban legends brought to the attention of folklorists back in the 1940s.

My Favorite School year--Danielle's Assignment

My favorite school year would be last year when I had several classes with our 'quartet'. One day in fitness we were told to walk the track and when the teachers blew the whistle we would jog or sprint. I specifically remember Vendala pissing off Patrick and he spent the entire period trying to spit on her and she would run away screaming. Sam R. and I were just laughing our heads off watching them and after Patrick, Sam, and I had a spitting contest instead of walking the track.

Where in the eyes of me? Assignment Example

The first place I must go to is London, England and to see Stonehenge. That is on my list because it has always fascinated me and my father's ancestors are from there. Another reason is it's history.

The second place I must go is to Germany. It's has the same reasons as England except the ancestry. Germany has always caught my attention and I'm going to learn to speak German in high school.

St. Patrick's Day

There are many castles in Ireland. Swords Castle was built for the Archbishops of Dublin as a manorial residence. It was Built around 1200. Ballymoon and so many other castle don't have a recorded history, but the architectural grounds help determine it was built around 1290-1310. The Ballylee was built in the six-teenth century near Cloon River and was purchased and rebuilt by W.B. Yeats(the poet) in 1916.

Saint Patrick was an Apostle of Ireland born at Kilpatrick near Dumbarton, Scotland in the year 387. The day of his death being March 17th, 461 later became St. Patrick's Day. When he was about 14 and captured and taken as a slave to Ireland(Roman parents) he prayed:

''The love of God and his fear grew in me and more, as did the faith, and my soul was rosed, so that, in a single day, I have said as many as a hundred prayers and in the night, nearly the same.'' ''I prayed in the woods and on the moutians, even before dawn. I felt no hurt from the snow or ice or rain.''

When he was around 20 he escaped after having a dream from God telling him to go to the coast. Another dream told him to go to Ireland again where he studied under St. Germanus. Patrick was later ordained a bishop. After he preached the Gospel all over in Ireland with his disciples converting thousands and started building churches all over. He did this for 40 years. He died in Saul was his first church was built.
