Rocky D.B. Mrs. Stoneback French I 14 October, 2016 Luxembourg: The Schueberfouer Luxembourg has a very large fair every year called the Schueberfouer. It is a massive fair which has been in Luxembourg for years. It has many rides and shops there. Luxembourg itself is a very small country. A complete contrast as the fair is huge and Luxembourg is small. The history behind the Schueberfouer is very simple but interesting nonetheless. It began very long ago. The Schueberfouer is a massive fair held in Luxembourg every year. The history behind the Schueberfouer dates back to 1300's. It was begun by a count of Luxembourg who was named John the blind. He made it in honor of Saint Bartholomew's day, which was a religious holiday. When the industrial revolution began the use of …show more content…
He was born to Henry VII. He was king of Bohemia. He made the Schueberfouer. It was originally an eight day market that he made. He had a son which he sent off to Paris. He died in the year 1346. He left a lasting legacy on Luxembourg by making the Schueberfouer. Saint Bartholomew's day was the day the Schueberfouer was made in honor of. It is a Christian holiday. It's mainly about food and ale. Its origin was when the Saint Bartholomew was flayed alive. He is the Saint of butchers. There are two things associated with him, one a hospital known as St Bart's hospital, and two the Saint Bartholomew's fair. He is the reason why the Schueberfouer exists now. Without him we would not have a Schueberfouer in Luxembourg. The Schueberfouer was made because of these two people. Without them it would not come to fruition. One interesting thing is that the Schueberfouer has a Farris wheel that did not appear until the 1900's. They have a food that is eaten on this fine day. It is called Fouerfësch, it is whiting in yeast. The holidays mascots name is Lämmy. There are many interesting things about the Schueberfouer. The

Different countries have been known to deal with crime in different ways, some believe that we (Americans) should deal with criminals in a more serious and physical manner. In the article “Rough Justice A Caning in Singapore Stirs Up a Fierce Debate About Crime and Punishment” by Alejandro Reyes, it talks about how we should have more severe and physical punishment inside and outside of the U.S. After a teenage boy vandalizes a car in singapore. While in the editorial “Time to Assert American Values,” the writer attempts to persuade us and into thinking that the teenage boy, Michael Fey should not have been caned after vandalizing a car. After carefully analyzing the two texts, the reader realizes that the article “Rough Justice” has the

Saint Patrick’s Day is a story of history versus legend, according to randomhistory.com. Saint Patrick is known as the patron saint of Ireland because of his service across Ireland in the fifth century (theholidayspot.com). Without Saint Patrick’s background/childhood, Saint Patrick being a good bishop, or how Saint Patrick’s Day has come to be nothing would be known about him or Saint Patrick’s Day on March seventeenth.

...dolls that looked like soldiers from far away to get the German soldiers to waste their ammo shooting at dolls. Then the real soldiers came down. The Nazi leaders scattered and fled the country hiding. Hitler fled and hid with his mistress. America finally won the war on D-day. Many Jews tried to wait for that day to come, though massive numbers did not make it. Hitler and his mistress ended up committing suicide. Even though the battle against the German soldiers was over there was bigger battle on Germany’s hand and that was to put Germany back together. The Red Cross helped in putting back the prisoner’s families again, though many families received consolation letters that they could not find their loved ones. Germany had changed a significant amount. Between the number of dead and the number of living they had a big mess to clean up and it wouldn’t be easy.
	Henry IV was born in April 1367 and was the only son of John of Gaunt, the son of Edward III, and Blanche, the daughter of Henry Grismond, Duke of Lancaster. Known as Henry of Bolingbroke after his birthplace in Lincolnshire, he was made a knight of the Garter in 1377. In 1380, at the age of 13, he married Mary de Bohun, the youngest daughter and coheiress of Humphrey, the last Earl of Hereford. They had four sons and two daughters before her death at the age of 24, in 1394. As the Earl of Darby, Henry entered the House of Lords in 1385. In 1387 he supported his uncle Thomas, Duke of Gloucester, in his opposition to Richard II. (Gloucester was also Richard’s uncle, and Henry was the King’s First cousin.)

Holden tries to preserve his own innocence, and the innocence of others by not letting go of childhood memories and through his desire to suspend time. Holden views the adult world as corrupt and full of phonies. He admires childhood because of how it is free of corruption, and untouched by the adult world. IN order to preserve his own innocence Holden often attaches himself to childhood memories. The Museum of NAtural History is one of Holden’s favourite places . He mentions that his grade one teacher Miss. Aigletinger used to take his class there every saturday. While writing about the museum he says, “The best thing, in that museum was that everything always stayed right where it was” (121). This shows how Holden wants to preserve his innocence because he expresses how he likes how everything stayed the
The United States government should pass an Equal Rights Amendment to guarantee equality for both men and women.
Dutch people are generally tall with light hair and eyes. They are also very house proud, meaning they keep their houses well-kept and tidy. Most people live in the cities, which are very well urbanized. Christianity is the main religion, split between Protestants and Catholic Faiths. Although, many people in Netherlands have no religion. Many Dutch spend their free time alone with family or tending their gardens. Cafes are also an important part of the Dutch lifestyle, with either a brown or white café. Brown cafes are older and cozier, while white cafes are modern. Dutch are also the main producers of cheese! They are very fond of cheese, with their main kinds being either Gouda or Edam. Six major types of cheese are produced by the Dutch and exported around the world. So without Netherlands, there would be no cheese. The arts have a large role in Dutch culture. Painting is a huge part of Dutch history and culture. The paintings produced in the Golden Age of Netherlands are cherished around the world. Music is also a part of culture the Dutch are fond of. Musicians are regularly playing on the streets, and many families have one or more members who play an instrument. “The Netherlands has produced many talented musicians. The Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra in Amsterdam and the Residentie Orchestra in The Hague are two of the finest ensembles in the world.” This just goes to show how arts has been a main part of Dutch life and
"They are of rugged stock, but not rough or ill mannered, fierce but not malicious, and they have a great store of strength and natural character"(Joseph Görres). As articulated by Joseph Görres the people of Germany are a kind and powerful race. A state whose people live this description daily are the Bavarian people of western Germany. For the Bavarian people a rich cultural heritage is an obligation as there is scarcely another people that cherishes and actively lives its culture like the Bavarians. This is reflected in everything from their devoted care of the arts to the traditional fostering of local customs. As a result the Bavarian culture is known for its traditions, fine foods, and inhabitants.
Illegitimacy is something people have avoided since the dawn of morality; whether they are avoiding being a fraud or becoming an unwed parent. They fear it so much that they instill that fear of illegitimacy into their children, and cause so much pain for children with circumstances like mine. They don’t even realize what kind of disadvantage that puts us in. Not one of us are alike, but we do have a system. There are two classes of illegitimate children, that the legitimate children cannot differentiate between. God knows the illegitimate see it though. I am what I am, but somehow not i’m not “me” enough. Illegitimacy breeds isolation, and in that, you can either find your calling or be destroyed.
Competition is often thought of as the way by which one earns a prize. However, in truth, it is solely the act of striving to be better than your opponent. The trophy is simply the representation of the outcome. While winning the trophy is fun, society is unfortunately in an age where standard participation and mediocrity are the only criteria for which one receives recognition, and the true purpose and benefit of competition has been lost. Although, it can be argued that going for the gold, so to speak, can negatively impact one’s psyche, competition does indeed offer benefits far beyond the trophy. Much like life, competition provides highs, lows, gains, losses, adversity, and a continued opportunity for growth and success. With all
