Today in class we started off wth the test we took last week.  I got a 78% on it.  We went over all the questions in class and talked about some of the answers.  After that we went back to the power point. We talked about such and pull forces.  Some examples of push forces are civil war, environmental degradation, unemployment or underdeveloped, and religious or ethnic persecute.  Then we talked about pull forces.  Some example of pull forces are better economic opportunity, better heath service, religious freedom, and political freedom.  After that we talked about insurance.  You said that one of the reasons more people are moving to Canada is because of it.  Here we have to pay for our selfs.  In Canada you pay for everyone.  That means the taxes are way higher but if something happened everyone has insurance to pay for it so they don't have to pay for all of it.  So that is one of the reasons people like to got to Canada more then USA.

Yesterday in class we didn't do much. We went over one of are old test that we had.  I got a 78% o it so I think I did ok on it.  After that we took the test that we would of took if we would of voted to have a test Friday.  It was that hard but I didn't want to risk having a test and the failing it and my C go down.  After we finished it you gave us the answers so we can review for the exam.  I really want to get my grade up for western civ because it is at a 79.12% and I really want a B so I can get all B's on my report card.

Yesterday in class we went over the power point and had someone in the class take notes on the board and we would all copy it.  I found it a lot more interesting then the other power points we have been doing because it talked about how they started to care about art, mathematics, and literature again. And also starting to look back at Rome and Greece and see how they did things.  It talked about a lady that was very Richard care about art and a lot of other things.  She would pay the artist to paint her or paint something she would want and there would put her in the back round.  For examples she asked Leonardo da Vinci t paint the nativity and put her in the back ground. If it wasn't for her we would not ave know a lot of these artist would have even existed.
