Even till this day no one truly knows the origins of Black Jack. Though most agree it originated in a French casino around the 1700’s. Should also be noted that Spanish and Roman had similar games but the most prevalent theory is that the French created the modern black jack game we all know today. Vingt-et-Un refers to the French word for 21 though the games rules might have changed the concept remains the same player to get closets to 21 wins.
Amenhotep wanted paintings of people to look more natural than formal. One painting has Amenhotep and his wife playing with just three of their six little daughters. (Edwards 22) Amenhotep married a very beautiful queen named Nefertiti, despite of his looks. Nefertiti was an adviser to Amenhotep and was a powerful woman. (Edwards 10-11,11) The son of the powerful Akhenaten was a boy king of the 18th Egyptian dynasty. (Networks) The people of Egypt practiced “a polytheistic religion” for a long time. (rodgers 13) around 1350 B.C King Akhenaten abolished all the nation’s gods and replaced them with one god. The Aten.

2. He loves to read poetry because of his shudder problem when he was smaller.
It began when Amenhotep III’s son, Akhenaten, took control of Egypt. He abandoned the customary religion and started to worship one god named Aten. Akhenaten’s reign was called the Amarna period and not only did it change the culture, but it had an important impact on artistic styles as well. In general, a major difference that was brought about during this revolutionary phase was stopping the representation of traditional Egyptian deities, such as Sekhmet. Other modifications can be seen through the comparison between the traditional Bust of Sekhmet seen in Figure 1 and the new art style used for the head of Nefertiti seen in Figure 2 (“Nefertiti”). Nefertiti was the wife of Akhenaten and was one of the most powerful women in Egypt at the time. The head of Nefertiti shows how the new artistic style stepped towards an idealized naturalism. This is seen through the natural facial structure with the elongated neck and the extended headdress of Nefertiti. The Bust of Sekhmet is certainly an idealized look, however, the structure is far from a natural representation. This is one example of the difference between the two styles of sculpture. Another example can be seen through the amount of detail and decorative beauty put into each structure. For the head of Nefertiti, there is a much greater amount of detail. This can be seen in the patterns
Family, a group consisting of parents and children living together in a household. Although family is a concretely defined term, the idea of family varies from person to person. But, what makes a family?

“A family can be defined as a set of people related by blood, marriage or in some other agreed upon relationship, or adoption, who share primary responsibility for reproduction and caring for member of society". (Schaefer, 2009, p. 288) This leads to a wide open range of interpretation on the exact definition of how a family is truly made up. Depending on your culture, religion, or geographical location a family may represent and be comprised of many different ideals and social norms. There are many theoretical perspectives that have their own interpretations on the subject of what a family is and how it is perceived. I will attempt to expound on three of these perspectives; Functionalism, Conflict, and Interactionalism.
What is a family? A family is two or more people consider themselves to be blood related, or related by marriage, or adoption. Our families are who we love. We as families look different in so many ways. A family’s caregiving unit might have a couple, a mother, a father, and children.

Families are the foundation of how our society and how it works. It is how we come into the world and nurtured and given the tools that we need to go out into our world. We are both capable and healthy or not our families influence our lives either in a good way or a bad way. While families
