Ten Year Old Girl in Ancient Rome

The Jewish community has been practicing wedding ceremonies for many years where the preparations and procedures are very tedious, which takes months in order to prepare for this sacred event. When preparing for these ceremonies, it is important to understand that even though there are various types of ceremonies within the Jewish community, they all however, originated from a centralized resource and that is the Bible. Even though the Bible does not mention about wedding ceremonies, it is the iconic events that occur within the Bible that is used as the origins of wedding ceremonies for the Jewish community. In order to establish a correlation between the origins of Jewish marriages to the modern practices of Jewish wedding ceremonies, we must take a look at what a wedding ceremony consist of for the Jewish people.

When most people hear my full name , “Joann Botani," they automatically assume I'm Italian, but truth is I am actually Middle Eastern. From what I know my dad does have a little Italian in his blood but the name “Botani” actually comes from a city in Turkey. I come from an upper-middle class house hold and I have two younger siblings, a brother and a sister. Being the oldest has its challenges because there is so much expected from me whether it is school, work or social life. I tend to think my younger siblings have it easier because I am the one who pushes the boundaries with my parents and because of that my siblings usually get to do what ever the want because it is not as extreme as what I do. It has always been easy for my younger sister because she is the “princess” of the house but I am my dad’s favorite while my brother is a momma’s boy. My family is very competitive when it comes to school and grades, my little brother and I were always duking it out

Somehow, I managed to keep a smile on my face as if I had no fears. The ceremony included Bible verses and singing. I received six gifts from my aunts and uncles: a Bible, a bouquet of flowers, a ring, a bracelet, a rosary and a tiara. Each of them was blessed by the father. Each gift I received held a meaning: closeness with family and with God, and the passage to womanhood.

The story of ancient Rome is a tale of how a small community of shepherds in the central Italy grew to become one of the greatest empires in history, and then collapsed. According to Roman legend. Rome was founded in 753 B.C. By 275 B.C., it controlled most of the Italian Peninsula. In the A.D. 100’s, the Roman Empire covered about half of Europe, much of the Middle East, and the northern coast of Africa. The empire then began to crumble, party because it was too big for Rome to govern.

A Roman Impact on the United States Ancient Greece and Rome were both very influential to the United States. Greece is located in Europe and greatly known by its capital Athens. Rome is located in Italy and known for its influential architecture and culture. Ancient Rome more accurately reflects the social and political makeup of the United States compared to Ancient Greece. Ancient Greece positively influenced the United States in terms of economic aspects.

Throughout history many civilizations and empires have been considered great. The greatest empire ever was Ancient Rome. Starting in 509 B.C.E and lasting until 476 C.E (Ancient Rome and the Rise of Christianity, 1000 BCE–500 CE,). Ancient Rome started off as a small town on central Italy’s Tiber river and ended up expanding all the way to most Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, Northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands (Ancient Rome). Ancient Rome helped spread many languages, the western alphabet, the modern calendar and the religion of christianity all around the globe (Ancient Rome). They are the most powerful and dominating empire throughout history. Ancient Rome was the greatest empire throughout history.

The Roman empire lasted from 700 BCE until 476 Ce, and incredible 1,176 years. But how did Rome fall? Some say political squabbling. Others argue invasions. However, the downfall of Rome was due to military problems, and natural disasters. Earthquakes brought buildings to the ground, while illnesses killed thousands of innocent people. Also, the military was losing it’s edge. They decided to become lazy, beginning to think too much of themselves.

Ancient Rome had a huge impact on what we now have here in America. For example some of our building mirror Rome's buildings. Also our government is almost a replica of Rome's government. The way some building were made is similar to the ones in Rome. First the US Supreme Court has a Greek style to the architect.

School was brief, classes were effortless, and spending time with friends required a more planning and effort that my impatient mind was typically capable of undergoing, as most of my friends lived in distant neighborhoods. Having high expectations of me, my parents would always encourage me to ask for extra work in classes, or seek out ways to further my education beyond classes. Unfortunately for me, middle school teachers typically didn’t have extra assignments beyond the core curriculum, leaving me with a lot of free time at home. Fearing that I would turn to television and video games for entertainment, my mom brought me to the local library in an attempt to entice me with books. Luckily for her, Greek mythology quickly developed into my secret passion, instead of the passing interest it used to be. Legends of the wars between the Greek Gods and the Titans, the twelve labors of Hercules, and Odysseus’ perilous and everlasting journey to return home soon became the focus of my free time. Soon afterwards, weekend visits to the library were routine as I attempted to leave no book unread in my quest to learn of every hero and

In looking to the innovations of ancient Rome and comparing them to what we here in America have advanced and still use today, the innovations I find most interesting are concrete, roads and highways, and welfare.

I am the oldest out of four siblings. I have two younger brothers and a sister. Aaron is currently in 8th grade, Mauricio in 5th grade and my little sister Ariana who's just two years old. No schooling yet, but soon will be attending. I have my 48 year old father and my 37 year old mother who I truly love them with all my heart. Our primary language spoken in our household is Spanish. English is our secondary language, even though my parents are not fully 100% fluent. We still speak English to get better at. As mentioned being misunderstood as a small child or in their point of view is very common in my life and currently in their life. At the age of five I began schooling. I began Kindergarten at Silver Valley Elementary School located in Lexington. I remember my teacher was Mrs. Hall. A very tall blonde. My assistance teacher named Mrs. Parish. A very nice short brown headed. At only five years old I had a very difficult time to communicate with others at school. I didn’t know much English. Why? Because English wasn’t my parents primary language to communicate. As the oldest, it was very difficult for me to pronounce certain words, and very difficult to respond to questions. The way I expressed myself caused lots of conflict between my teachers and myself. I still pictured some of the teachers didn’t have patience with me. Teachers would get very frustrated and so did I. At some point I didn’t want to go to

Marriage is a significant social event in contemporary society. It is a means of building new bonds between two individuals and their subsequent families. The foundations of memorable weddings are built on those that bring often-distant family and friends together for the occasion, while dressed in their most sophisticated attire, surrounded by elegant flowers, a night of dancing, captured through the lens of an exceptional photographer. Although Hinduism and Islam are two extremely distinctive religions, their matrimonial customs do share some comparable elements, like most other cultural wedding ceremonies. In both religions, they are devotedly obedient concerning religious and cultural practices in their marital ceremonies.
