M4 The Path Of God

Looking around all I see is light. The light is making a shadow of a girl trying to find herself. I'm on an uncomfortable camel slowly traveling across this bone-dry desert. "God peace with you", said a group of Muslim's. Thinking in the past people say that Muslims should go to hell or they should die. I don't think that ,do you? Sometimes things can mess your head up like the desert. I'm on the Arabian peninsula desert and it's dry and hot. Arab nomads, called Bedouins, migrated through the desert raising sheep, goats and camels.

My eye sight wasn't as clear as it was before. I thought I was going crazy like Muhammad when he started to have visions. While thinking about myself, a cloudy area was looming. The desert is often swept by windstorms. Powerful winds may flare up suddenly causing blinding sand storms." ساڈصٹہڑم
Sand storm", said a man while his hat flew off.

"Help", "God Help", "Sorry I seined ", several people said.  While the sand storm was hitting and knocking me out, I felt the sand coming up every 5 sec. I wanted to say I was dead, but I dissude myself not to say it. I felt the urge that god and god only was keeping his hands on me and helping me through this. Muslims believe in Moses, Gabriel and also Abraham.

Like Muhammad, I had a vision of the past and the future. "Recite in the name of thy lord! Who created man from blood coagulated. Recite! Thy lord is wonderous kind. Who by the pen has taught mankind things they know not". This message was from Gabriel. Muhammad had the same message. In a way it seems I'm in Muhammad's footsteps. While still facing the sandstorm the muslims and I were praying. Praying is a common thing for muslims. The Ka'ba Shrine in Makkah is a holy place for muslims to pray and get close to god. Ya! the standstrom was finally over. I guess praying works for sandstorms. "Thanks to God" I said.

God can do things I can't do. Learning about muslims I learned their environment is different and similiar as America's. This experience makes me learn that if you're in trouble, just pray and don't judge people by their religion. It's wrong.

I have to go to medieval times again. This is the last mission for medieval times. As I got to Europe a coboodle of people are watching a play that looked similair to those mystery plays my parents used to take me to. "Come to thy mystery play", a fool said."No thanks", I said feeling angry."Why is that", the fool said."My parents were clergyman", I said. "Great you're perfect for the next play we're doing", the fool said. "I'll think about it", I said while walking away. While going inside my home, I was thinking about my parents.


When I was a kid I felt poised when I was with my parents. Lots of people didn't know us, we were like "The Waltons go to Birmingham" The weird Waltons, yep that's us. I bring this up because my parents were performers. Dad always said "Making stew and putting ingredients together is just like the world putting different cultures and religions together. My parents performed in mystery plays. Mystery play are acting out bible stories. Clergyman are the actors in the mystery plays. The haunted part of my life is people at school laughed at me for being in plays. It wasn't the coolest job ever in Harrison High. Why bother being a performer like my parents.



Thinking back about my parents and remembering how happy they were when they did mystery plays. I realized that I'm just being stupid and thinking about myself. Doing a mystery play is a great idea. "I'll do it", I said to the fool. "Great" the fool said. "The play is about the birth of Jesus", said the fool. "And you will be the mother of Jesus" he said.


Mystery plays would include stories like "The Birth of Jesus", "The Wise Men" and "The Fight into Egypt". There were four or five short mystery plays in each presentation. Each presentation was broken up and staged all over town. The audience moved stage to stage. It was our turn to present the Birth of Jesus.


When the cast and I were done presenting the audience clamor showed me how much they loved it. My parents would have been proud of me. I would always try to dissuade myself into not doing mystery plays, but having something that makes my parents feel happy is great.

M2 Unknown Disease

"Is this the end of my life doctor?" I said while coughing continuously. I'm in Medieval Europe trying to fight back this disease called the Bubonic Plague. Your probably wondering what is the Bubonic plague? Well, the Bubonic plague also known as the black death is a well known disease in medieval times. I wasn't wishing to have this disease, but I guess things just happen. One morning while watching the ceiling a person came in with nerdy clothes and came inside my home asking questions me about he disease I have. The person was going was going to fast for my taste, so the doctor told him to back off.

While I was walking on the cold rough ground, someone started to cough like they had a fever. She dropped down unexpectedly to the ground. I tried to help her but she keep saying she was fine, so I went home. The next morning it got worse. Looking out in the narrow window a man wearing a surcoat was coughing the same way the woman was yesterday. People started to blame Jesus for this illness that is lowering the population of Europe, but what they didn't know was the truth.

Hazard times now. It was 1:00 pm only 2 inches from the bed, I started to feel dizzy. Next think I knew I was on my bed with a doctor beside me. I was coughing and coughing so much my throat hurt. The doctor told me what happened. He said he discovered the bacteria that caused the disease. The disease that the people had was carried by fleas that feed on the blood of infected rodents, like rats.
When the rats died that fleas jumped to other animals and people. When people heard the news citizen started to freak out. Men whipping themselves for their sins. Even women catching the blood from the men thinking the blood would not make them sick. The Black Death spread across Asia in the 1330s-1340s,  through Europe in 1346-1348, and to Egypt and Arabia in 1346-1351.

I'm still trying to fight this disease.  Vomiting, fierce coughing, sneezing fits and egg-sized swelling or bumps on the  body. These are all the symptom's or signs of the plague. Thinking while laying in my bed, I started to realize that I got myself sick from the girl I helped when I was walking. Now, I'm mad at that girl, but it's not her fault.

I was getting worse very second. I was thinking I was going to die. I didn't want to die like this. The candle light was getting dim. I woke up and saw people praying for me like we were in church. I thought that was helpful. It was customary to pray. The Roman Catholic Church was a huge part of medieval life. In 1351 my doctor came with a cure for the plague. Unfortunately a lot of people died but only some survived.

     A not so quit place to be in. Baffled music one by one the ladies play. Man with sleeveless "surcoats" took peasants who ever disobeyed the laws by the king. The green on the ground blew. swifting and swaying by the coldness of the earths wind silently coming. Walking while feeling the moist warm dirt between my feet, the smell of  warm chicken came right through me, begging me to come have a taste.

     Coming closer every second to that rich sweet smell, people started to germinate a celebration around feast days. My light brown eyes cryed in tears. A most detailed cared table with a little tash of light blue with gold to top it off. The top of this fabulous define table with a warm golden loaf just from the bakery. A big bowel full of  water added with soggy greens.

       Anyway, walking around a little village by the moonlight river a since of wooden houses leaning so much they were touched across the street. Even for wealthy families, there homes weren't comfortable. In general, people of the middle ages believed in an orderly society. Most boys grew up to the same job like their fathers. And girls, lets just say they got married really early.

     Do you remember when I was talking about the knights. Well you might think that was a trivial matter, but it wasn't. A detailed wooden chair with 3 other source of people seating right next to it. A person with a silk kind of clothing was seating down on the chair slowly while the prisoner come forward. The eyes of the prisoner was 2 pieces of melting ice. It seems like the ice was going down to his neck. The person begged for mercy while his hand slowly went down to the square ground. This person I speak of in the chair was the judge, but there were more judge's then you think. The judges had no face expression none so ever.

      We will never know what happens next in this crime now will we. This is the end of the miraculous journey. And you know what I will never in my live life in medieval times.

Akeriasoul finds her way in life

 

      This is a moment  in peoples life when you have to make a decision  for yourself and your family. I had a similar story. Is Akeriasoul quitting the TTI? This is a girl who has a hard life in the beginning, but is her dream coming to an end.  Well you will have to see now won’t you.

     She is a time traveler that had a hard life. She made friends, and she lost her family as well. People judged her for what she is. “Can you believe that”?  Anyway Akeria loved to read nonfiction books. History was more of her thing. She told me that she always wanted to be a time traveler like from the books her mother read to her before she died.

          Akeriasoul is a one in a kind type of person.  Working with the TTI was an honor.  Akeriasoul going to be a time traveler she couldn't believe it.  She showed her well planned organized   résumé   to the man of the company. Signor Voploe. When she got hired she began to germinate while going straight to work. She traveled to a lot of places. Rome, grease, India, and much more.

     Finally Akeria found her one true love from France.  His name was Jacques (James). This was a new start of  her life. She was about 21 years old.  It   was at least  2  weeks  that Jacques  proposed  to her. So on Jan 16, 2012 they got married.  Unfortunately   Akeriasoul   had to quit the CEO, but one thing she didn't have to quit is loving Jacque. By October 13, 2013 a new person was brought in the family, Carl Davis Jones. Life is going great she says. Now she works at a restaurant called Paul de France with her husband Jacques. He owns the place. Akeria still misses the rush of the wind on her hair, nor the learning of different cultures.  Akeriasoul will always be one of the greatest time travelers in the CEO business.   

      This proves why  Akeriasoul  is quitting the  CEO . Quote:  "I came to set my dreams and my fathers as well".

My summer days are over. 8 more days until school starts. Sales of school supplies and clothes are a go. The kids are sleeping in for the last time. And we are not happy to go back to school. The times we spent that was great, but the end of the summer time thats a hate.

The summer vaction {New Oleans BABY}

Its me Akeriasoul. Its been a while since I spoke. I know you miss me. I been on summer vacaion. And the best thing about my summer vacation is I don't have to pay for anything. I planed to go back to my family in Louisiana they were so proud of  me. I told them about my adventures even that I was the enlighment one they were impressed. finally i my hard work payed off. Anyway my family and I went to new Orleans. The place with jazz, and great food. Well I got to go. Having to much fun.

M15 The enlightenment.

    Its all most time for me to go back where I belong. My adventure in India for this mission is just more important to the people who live here than me because I am the Awakened one. How you may ask? Well the story begins with a meeting with Prince Siddhartha. Prince Siddhartha was the creator of Buddhism. He was a jaunty man. At the age of 29 the prince walked away from his royal life and went in search of spiritual peace. During his journey he told me great truths changed his life. I never knew what he meant by that, but I will eventually. Anyway in India, the prince showed me how to reach nirvana, or a happiness and peacefully ideal state. The next morning I started to pray and the truths came to me.


You might  have heard of the Four Noble Truths. The Buddha would spend the rest of his life sharing these truths with the people of India. In time, followers spread the teachings throughout India and other parts of Asia.

The people of India say if you reach enlightenment,you would no longer be reborn again and again. It was not easy for me and the prince, but we made it work .Now its time to say good-bye. पुनर्दर्शनाय

M14: The myth of the Great Bath

"It's  been a long time coming" my parents say. As a kid I watched scooby doo.They solve mystery's that can never be answered by other people. And now I'm doing the same . The disappearance of Mohenjodaro is the biggest mystery of all in Indus-Sarasvati.  Anyway I am looking forward to go see the Great bath. The great bath is a Asiatic made with waterproof bricks. It was 37 ft long and 8 ft deep. Some archaeologist's think the great bath was also used for  religious ritual instead of bathing. Meanwhile I start to find clues for the disappearance. Also I talked to people to see what they think happened in the year 1900 b.c.e.
 

"I think someone poisoned everybody in the city", said a old man
 
"I think it was magic just like in Harry Potter", said a crazy man

 I couldn't find enough clues to prove the disappearance, but there was one person I didn't talk to and his name was Rio Williams. He is a good friend. He told me he did some research on the disappearance and it said The myth of the Great bath. This was told by a man named Ron Williams. He and his friends were going swimming one day. Then soon as they knew it they were drowning because they forgot how to swim. Then a few years later the Great bath clasped, well Rio was telling the story, I ate a sandwich with  extra mustard. Why didn't he tell me , said Rio with a confuse voice. I'm not sure,but i have to go. I have a long day a had tomorrow.                                                                                                                  

M13 The Hike

" My life I risk". I say this because I am climbing the Himalaya mountains. They say the Himalayas live up to their name, which means "Home of snows". Anyway I'm trying to get to the Bay of Bengal. Now before I start my hike I'm packing especially for the cold.

 As I start hiking I came by big glaciers up ahead. The Himalaya mountains underneath is always moving people say. Back to my point. Its been 3 days that I have hiked across the mountain. Once I was done with that horribly cold icy hike I sailed the rest of the way down to the Bay of Bengal. It was a hard journey even with the boat.I made it with hard cut wood.

 I sailed through the Ganges river. That route was the way to get were I was subpost to be. The experience I had was hash,scary,and exciting. I finally got to the Bay of Bengal.  After that I was famished. I got a sandwich  from my backpack. Now it's time to go.

M12

I never had a perfect life. I guess the Romans didn't either.The anger, the violence, and the hate is what  you would think about Rome. Although there're people who are nice as well. I say this because last night I attended a fancy Roman feast.It stared at X:Xll. I was going to the market place to get some figs for dessert. When I was done with that I notice fast food places called thermopolia.That's where people can buy hot and cold foods that's ready to go. Anyway back to the point. While I was eating my delicious figs I saw an invitation to go to a fancy feast in the villa where the wealthy people live.
 
I had to look fancy of course you don't want to seem like you're poor.I went to the table and they had a feast. The table was laden with delicious food like songbird surprise, olives, bread, garum, celery and much more. While I was walking to my seat. It seemed like people thought I was invisible. They were pushing and shoveing me. I got to my chair and a woman started to dance while playing music. I thought that was cool.

Wine is very popular in Rome. It's both sweet and dry. They mixed their wine with water and even honey. It was almost time to go,but the gentelman who invited us came in. He gave us our dessert. Most of the time the Romans had friut for derssert like grapes and figs.
"I hope you enjoyed your cena" (dinner),the gentleman said.
 Then we all walked away. I was full when I was done eating.I really enjoyed it.

M11 Revolution

I been through a lot this past times, but since I'm in Rome it's different in the ancient times. Unfair rights,laws, and unfair people. Me, AkeriaSoul is going on a mission for rights. I call this the revolution of the plebeians.

Today at midnight the group of plebeians and I are going to have a meeting with the republic about our laws. When we got there I was nervous. I was the leader of this group so of course I had to speak first.

"Hello I am AkeriaSoul and this is my group of plebeians" I said with a stumbled voice. "We demand to have equal rights even if you are poor, or rich we all should have equal laws", I said with a confident voice this time. "And what if we don't give you equal rights?" A man said looking at me sitting next to the emperor. "We will fight for it" I said while my group was screaming in anger. All the other poeple laughed it looked like some people even cried. "They think it's a joke", a woman said to me with her three children holding on to her. "What is so funny?" I asked in confusement. We don't want you to have equal laws, another man said with a angry face.

So we walked our of the building. Every one started to stomp in the ground. Right then I knew tommorow was going to be a harsh day. On the way home I saw whale blubber all packed in box's at the ship dock. I always wondered what they did with it. Anyway it was the next day and I started to get prepared for the fight.
Two hours later..........

What a fight we had. I don't want to even talk about it. Some of my best friends died just for equal rights. Don't feel bad, she wanted to die for the laws to be equal for all Roman citizens.

The tribune started to speak for the plebeians to the Senate and the Consuls. The plebeians had gained some inportant rights in 287 b.c.e. The plebeians gained the right to pass laws for Roman citizens. Now all Roman citizens could approve the laws.

I remember I was going to Greece the first time. I froze and looked up at the map and wondered what a life I would have in Greece.

War wear was a important thing to Greece. My first war battle I felt groggy when I tried my stuff on.Being serious, was a important thing being in the war.









                                                                                                           

For the record the Greek food was amazing.I ate a sandwhich next in French for vacation.

This agora image is bigger than it looks. I got my first oil harvest vase. I picked oil's that day they are enormous looking.

                                          

                                                                                                                                                                                 
                                                                                                     

   

The battle of Issus was lead by Alexander the great. This picture is a Roman mosaic of the battle featuring Alexander the great.












 Alexander the great  is what people call him was a famous Greek leader. He was great ;by spreading Greek ideas and using other religion.



 After the war of 300, I started to walk around the city of Athens.The Parthenon was surround by a caboodle of people.the Parthenon holds a statue of Athena the goddess of wisdom and war.



My first day in class as a teacher. I absolutely loved it. When the students laughed; I felt comfortable.

















   Democracy is one type of government in Greece. There are other types of government like Monarchy, Oligarchy and Tyrannry. This governmnet is for citizens to vote.






My Olive Harvest vase that I got from the agora is amazing. A picture of a olive tee, with people picking them up, and putting them in a basket.





When I walked in the agora a merchant who is a person that makes money by selling goods. The person looked like a zombie you would think he was dead.

I walked up to this school called Milesian school that were I got a job offer at to be a teacher for a day.
While I walked in the classroom I thought there was going to be kids,but they were all adults. All men looking tall as ever."Good morning class",I said feeling nervous. "My name is Akeria Soul"; "I will be your teacher for today". I said with a great force of power in my voice. "I'm going to talk about medicine and how Greeks believed that the gods and goddesses controlled their health and sickness", I said. "Do you know why medicine is important"?  I said seeing if someone knew the answer. Hippocrates raised his hand.
"So we can help the patient if someone is ill", he said with a deep voice. "That's absolutely right", I said. "Now all doctors try to do what they think is best for their patients", I said.

"This is a vase painting that shows a doctor from our time bleeding a patient", I said
"Why? Hippocrates asked.
"Because some greek doctors thought that drawing blood would aid healing". "Now class is over just remember what I said about being a doctor and you will be fine", I said.

                                                         TWO YEARS LATER.....
It been two years later and I wonder how my classmates are doing.  I went walking the next day and saw a sign about Hippocrates,one of my best students.

Hippocrates changed the way people thought about health and medicine. Hippocrate thought a scientific way about being a doctor. He believed that diseases had a natural cause. Now people call him the "Father of Modern Medicine".
I heard he has a classroom and he tells his students to carefully observe their patients and write down what they see. That's how Hippocrates became the most famous Greek doctor in Ancient Greece.

Am on vacation for the holiday. I am going to Paris. The most beautiful place in the world. Modern Paris to be exact. I am going to take a airplane. The Paris Explore. The ride was pretty harsh. Windy storms, thunder claps. Anyway 2 hours later the plane stopped. I walked off the plane while thinking this is nothing like ancient times. Music playing, poeple eating delicious food and most of all the Eiffel Tower.

The Eiffel Tower is one of the most famous sites in Paris. I walked to see if therr was a hotel I can crash in. Here is one. Hotel de Crillion-Paris. "What a fancy name" I said. I walked in and my mouth dropped. Classic music, fine dinning and peolpe dressed all up. I walked over to a lady next to the counter.
"Hello" my name is Elania" the lady said greeting me. "And yours"
"Akeria Soul" I said.
"Oh your room is here mademoiselle" Elania said sounding confident.
"Thank you" I said.

I ran up the stairs trying to find my room. 213 Level A. I opened the door and I saw a chandelier, with bright lights like on a christmas tree. The view of the Eifferl Tower is amazing.

It makes me want to weep in tears. After a long day looking and exploring Paris I decided to go out for lunch. I walked and saw a restaurant called Cafe de Flore. The restaurant was amazing. The waiter greeted me. "I am Noah your garcon"  Garcon is french for waiter.

There was much to choose from but I ordered a club sandwhich. The sandwhich was really good. I paid for my sandwhich. I walked out the cafe and I saw a  lady walking a speckled dalmation dog. It looked different than what I seen before. It was all dressed up with jewels. Anyway it's time to leave Paris and explore the ancient times again. I went back to the plane and flew off.
