Brian Farrey's 'Vengekeep Prophecies'
My Summary!!!

“Vengekeep Prophecies” written by Brian Farrey is a good book for kids. The main message of this week's reading is don’t always trust every person you meet no matter if your parents know them. You can’t trust that person you meet because if you do they could kill you, and they could betray you. In this case Edilman betrayed Jaxter and Callie to remove his death sentence that he got for using Fate stein. First this happened, Jaxter and Callie were caught because they were going province to province from a cursed city(Vengekeep). After that this happened, Callie and Jaxter found their city’s long lost mage(Talian)and they talked about how they were going to get back home.(Their home is Vengekeep) Then this happened, Jaxter

One reason why I really don’t like Callie is because of the last part of page 276. What happens in that part of the story is that Callie gets mad because she doesn't think that it’s fair that the Palatinate laugh their heads off while Vengekeep is suffering. She also says “Curse or not, Vengekeep is in danger. The Palatinate could put an end to it. Instead they’re tucked away in their palace, laughing at the High Laird. People could die!” I don’t like what she’s doing in that part because I hate how she has to get mad at Talian for no reason, like does she have anything against him because it sure seems like it, cause she’s not mad at Jaxter. Another reason why I don’t like Callie is because she replied to Talian really rudely. She demanded “How?” She did this on page 272. I don’t like this because this tells me that Callie is bossy, and normally when someone is bossy their rude. I don’t like rude people because when people are rude they make me uncomfortable. It makes me feel uncomfortable because I’m a person that like doing stuff for good, but when I’m with someone that’s rude I have a weird feeling that I might turn bad like them. So that’s why I don’t like Callie as much as I would like to. The last reason why I don’t really like Callie is because Callie isn’t really the nicest person. She isn’t really the nicest person because she always gets mad whenever something doesn't go her way. She also throws a temper tantrum when something doesn’t go right. She does this when Talian told her and Jaxter why he didn’t come to Vengekeep earlier, and she just interrupts him and start yelling why he didn’t do this or that. I don’t like that she does this because she doesn’t care if Talian did it to save himself all she cares is that why didn’t he care about Vengekeep. Yea she is right, but she could have just said it in a nice and calm voice instead of just yelling at the

    Kurt Jooss’ “The Green Table” and Alvin Ailey’s “The Revelations” are both over half a century old and still remains to this day one of the most timeless masterpieces of dance in history. Their elaborate combinational display of music, dance, and rhythm was able to tell us a story without the use of any words. This collaborative combination was able to create a powerful and insightful perspective on what they were trying to articulate. The revelations captured the pain, determination, and valour of the African Americans at the time. Ailey used a very religious, divine, and prayerful mood and point of view throughout the whole dance. While The Green Table aimed at showing people how futile war is and how it affects people and society. Jooss used the satirical and cynical perspective, as well as the method of expressionism.…

    Diamond's viewpoint is that religions and ideologies in kleptocracies are ways for elites to reaffirm their claims to power. This can make it challenging for believers in religions, including Catholicism, because, if they share this viewpoint, they will no longer see their religion as being good, but instead simply as a way for kleptocratic elites to maintain power. This makes it problematic for them to spread the religion as it causes a decrease in passion for the belief system; people may begin to believe that by spreading religion, they are only spreading kleptocracy.…

    Ray Douglas Bradbury once said “We have too many cellphones. We’ve got too many Internets. We have to get rid of those machines. We have too many machines now.” Bradbury was born in Waukegan, Illinois, on August 22, 1920. Growing up, he would read many short stories by well known authors. He loved science fiction, as most his childhood revolved around it. He had a huge passion for it. He has written many stories. Bradbury had a huge conflict with our generation. And, that was the use of technology. Bradbury was a huge technophobe. He would use a typewriter instead of a computer, and walk to places without using a car. “The Veldt” is one of Bradbury's many stories. It is mainly about a family who goes through some problems with their technology…

    The Rise of Christianity by Rodney Stark offers a sociological view of the growth of Christianity during the first four centuries A.D. The book provides a new perspective on how Christianity won the West. According to Stark, early church historians and the New Testament itself claimed that Christianity grew in number despite an unsuccessful plight to the Jewish population of Rome. Stark rejects many of conventional claims such as this one, and claims that Christianity grew rapidly because of miraculous demonstrations that drew large numbers of converts. Mr. Stark uses a quantitative approach to explain his theories on how Christians could have gained so many converts without miraculous methods.…

    Self-fulfilling prophecies. What does that mean? Where could you find it? More often then not, one's life can be largely based on self-fuflilling prophecies. "A self-fulfilling prophecy occurs when a person's expectations of an event, and her or his subsequent behavior based on those expectations, make the outcome more likely to occur than would otherwise have been true." In other words, it means that if you believe that you are able to do something, then you are likely to succeed, whereas if you believe that you cannot do something, then you are more likely to fail. One self-fulfilling prophecy is when I was fifteen years old. I had always wanted to play guitar and had finally received one that year. I didn't have…
