Acrostic Poem: Buddhism
Buddhism is a religion that is
Understanding that suffering is not the key to happiness.
Desire is the root of unhappiness.
Don't want things and suffer. Be
Happy with who you are. All life
Is to be respected.
Suffering is a normal part of life.
Most of all, Buddhism RULES!

HiStory: Reformation and Scientific Revolution
Danny and Abby were exploring the woods when they came across an old shed. They went near the shed and Danny went to open the door. Abby went running behind Danny and what they saw was a jet like machine that was used for the war.
“What is it?” asked Abby.
“I don’t know,” stated Danny.
They slowly crept towards the jet. Danny hopped on the wing and went inside the cockpit.
“What are you doing?” questioned Abby.
“I’m going to check this thing out,” As Danny sat on the seat dirt puffed out.
“It’s been here for a while,” stated Danny.
“Just get out of there” nagged Abby.
“Wait it says something here!”
Danny got the sleeve of his sweater and cleaned what looked like a gold platinum.
“What does it say Danny”
“It says… THE TIME MACHINE!”
“What!”
“The time machine”
Danny turned to Abby and stared at each other. Danny then gave Abby a smile to Abby.
“What are you? Oh no, no way, we are not taking the time machine”
“Come on, it will be really fun”
“No, we can get in really big trouble”
“Pleeeease”
Abby let out a big breathe.
“I’m going to regret this so much”
After Abby hopped in, Danny punched in a random date and pressed the launch button. They felt the engine running and next thing they know they find themselves going through a time hole. Then they stopped, completely. Abby and Danny found themselves in what looked like the 1600’s.
“Where are we” asked Abby.
“I don’t know” Danny said quietly.
“What time did you put in Danny?!”
“I don’t know” Danny said, “It was already set”
“ You didn’t check the DATE!”
“No, I was to excited” “Well while were here lets check this place” Danny said.
“Okay, but only for a little while” Abby nagged.
Danny and Abby were walking when they caught on somebody’s conversation.
“Did you hear about Galileo?”
“Galileo, oh yeah the inventor of that telescope thing,”
“Yeah him, I heard he was going to jail for a lifetime”
“He actually went against the church,”
“Yeah, he was way braver then that Copernicus guy,”
“But wasn’t he that guy with the theory that the earth orbited the sun?”
“Yeah, that was him”
As the peasants finished their conversation Danny and Abby both didn’t believe it, they were in the early sixteen hundreds. As they were walking, something caught their Danny’s attention. A brown covered book with an old looking kind of leather. He stopped and looked at the book.
“What’s wrong Danny?” asked Abby.
“Hey Abbs, what is this”
“It looks like an old book,”
While Danny and Abby looked at the book, an old smelly man came out.
“I suppose your wondering what that is,” said the man.
“Yeah,” said Danny.
Before the man can say anything else, Abby interrupted.
“Danny, this is…a black market!”
“So”
“So, everything they sell is illegal”
Danny ignored her and asked the man what it was.
“This here is the 95 theses that the monk Martin Luther wrote”
“Really” Danny said amazed.
Abby grabbed Danny’s arm and told the man they weren’t interested. Danny just followed Abby.
“Where are we going Abby?”
“Home!”
“But,”
“Don’t ask questions!”
When Danny and Abby arrived to the jet, Abby tried to start the jet but it didn’t start. Abby looked at Danny with a terrified face.
“Danny, it doesn’t want to start”
“Maybe our doing it wrong”
“No I’m not”
Abby and Danny got off and checked the engine. It was low on something, fuel! Abby and Danny looked at each other for about 30 seconds. Then Danny got an idea.
“I know lets go in town and get the fuel,”
Abby gave him a cold stare.
“Are you actually thinking, we are in the 1600’s, no one knows what fuel is right now!”
“Right, I knew that”
Abby and Danny went back to town to see if they can find something familiar to fuel.
“There is nothing here” Abby,
“Of course there isn’t” “this is the 1600’s”
“Wait, but this is also the time of the Reformation
Of the Scientific Revolution,”
“So what, Danny”
“They could of discovered oil, but they could of called it something different, come on, think about it”
“Maybe, unlikely”
Danny and Abby went into town to see if they can find something like oil. They described to the storeowners how it looked like. While they were walking there was a presentation going on. They joined the crowd and heard the priest talk.
“My dear people as you noticed, Galileo went to jail for the rest of his life, do you know why”
“No, I’ll tell you why. He was going against the teaching of the ancient philosopher, Aristotle.” “We are warning you now, if you go against our ways you will be punished,” “that is all”
Danny was still trying to figure out why they were still upset, and Abby gleamed at him.
“Do you ever pay attention in class!” shouted Abby
“Back in the 15-1600’s the church didn’t like being challenged because, uh why do I even try explaining?”
“Wait tell me” “Come on Abby”
“Okay, during the reformation, scientist wondered how they could prove their theories, so they started doing experiments which led theeee”
“The Scientific Method” said Danny.
“Yes back then the scientific method had only two parts though; Hypothesis, Observe, and Experiment.” said Abby.
“Are you following Danny?”
“Yeah, (Well Kind-Of)”
“So all this experimenting caused some major problems”
“What?” said Danny.
“Theories.”
“Theories?”
“Yes, these theories started happening and the church was not happy”
“The church believed that you were going against many old beliefs,”
“HUH?” said Danny confused.
“In other words, theories challenged many long beliefs.”
“Oh okay,”
“You are a dork Danny”
“I know.”
Danny and Abby were still looking for fuel or oil to get home. They were starting to doubt they will ever get home. But there luck changed. They met a blacksmith, who seemed very nice, who sold them the oil, also known as KLVER. Danny and Abby went back to the jet and hopped in.
“Okay, I’m pushing in March 23,2007,” said Danny.
Danny pushed the launch button and were off. A few minutes later they opened their eyes and saw that they were back in the shed. Abby and Danny ran back home and couldn’t wait to tell their friends what happened, not knowing if they would believe them or not.
