Anthony’s Blog

I learned many things about the renaissance and what they had in there time. I found out that they never had Halloween in the 1500’s. I also found out that they had toilets. I had to write reports about many different subjects one about the astrology in the renaissance and another on a way to escape from Florence. I had to read articles off the the internet and find maps to do the essays. I also had to search the internet for facts about the renaissance for my essays. I had to search for the past information and the present information. I found that astrology was made by a tribe before the time of the renaissance. I also found out that the tribe had made the stars look like there gods.

Miguel de Cervantes was a man that lived during the renacance period that made many books. One of his best books was called Don Quixote. There were two different parts of Don Quixote, Don Quixote the first part was made by Miguel de Cervantes and the second Don Quixote was finished after Miguel died. His fellow people had finished it after his death. When he was young he was on a boat to Spain that got captured by pirates. The pirates took them to Algiers and sold them as slaves. Miguel’s brother got his ransom paid by his father before Miguel did. A couple months later a church and his family donated money to getting him out of slavery.
