Hey Bryan I know I have not posted in a while thats becase I have been stuck in Utah. I wrote this for history and was wondering when you read it if you could critique me on it. not on the information stuff but the writeing part. thanks.

There were many innovations during the Renaissance. In my opinion The Printing Press, Microscope, And the Telescope were the three greatest innovations of the Renaissance. There are many reasons why I think that these three items are at the top of the list. Each item affected life in its own different way.
The printing press, in my mind, was the greatest innovation during the Renaissance. The printing press made it easier to mass produce books. It also helped books to get distributed through out Europe so ideas and news spread more quickly. With books becoming cheaper more people could become educated easier. The printing press also helped with the spread of Christianity with the mass productions of the bible. These are just a few reasons why the printing press was such a great invention.
The Microscope was another one of the great innovations of the renaissance time period. The Microscope helped out with the medical advances. It let people look at bacteria that could be causing disease and sickness. With the understanding of what caused certain diseases they could start treating them and saving lives. This invention started to let people know what our body is made up off.
The telescope was a great innovation for the science community for many reasons. The telescope was able to show people that the earth, in reality, did revolve around the sun and not the other way around. It also showed people that there are different planets in our solar system and the earth is not the only planet. The telescope showed us the vastness of space and how small we really are.
Each of these innovations helped out with life during the Renaissance for every one.

Anyone else can critique this if they would like.

we have had this rabbit around our house for about 6 months now. It first Showed up around the end of summer and was eating my mom's flowers and makeing spots in our lawn. My mom finally got fed up with the thing so she told me i could shoot it with our bb gun. I went and got the gun and shot it. The rabbit jumped extremelly high and flailed. It was one of the more funny things i have ever seen but it landed and ran off. a few days later i saw it again and shot it again and it did the same thing but instead of running away it stayed put. i shot it again. Now it ran away. i ended up shooting the rabbit about five or 6 more times the next two weeks. the thing finally disapeard and did not show its self again untill mid december when we got that huge snow storm. we were hopeing it would starve not haveing anyfood around for it to eat. Two days ago we noticed that it had burried into a snow pile in our back yard. my dad decided to make a trap for it and it work but he could not get the rabbit to stay in it. So I modified the trap so it would lock shut and it worked. My mom and dad are now taking it down by the red rocks to let it loose. It will most likely become coyote food.
have fun watching your movie bryan
