The Medieval Catholic Church was exceedingly corrupt during the Middle Ages. Although faith was the foundation of the Church‚ throughout time‚ the Church became more about making money and worldly living than living strictly for God.

Some of Chaucer’s characters’ attitude toward worldly morals is simply horrendous. Although clergymen

Adventure Tourism is a term that is not easily defined. For one thing‚ different people will have different ideas of what is “adventure”. For one person‚ “adventure” may be something as simple as camping outside in a tent‚ or walking through a wilderness area for an hour. For another‚ this would be considered passive tourism or exercise‚ whereas adventure would mean participating in dangerous and physically (also maybe emotionally) challenging activities‚ such as climbing a sheer rock face or white

Although Themba was only

My favourite author is William Shakespeare‚ a man who has written enough for immortality. Though a few hundred years have elapsed since the death of Shakespeare and volumes have been written on the life and work of this great writer‚ his early life still remains a subject for speculation and conjecture. It is generally believed that Shakespeare had very little schooling. Yet his keen intellect and mastery of language have earned for him the appreciation and applause of the literary world.

As my eyes glazed over the crystal clear lake‚ only one thing came to my mind. The fishing was going to be awesome. After getting to the secluded Lake of the Woods‚ located in Ontario‚ Canada‚ we wasted no time in getting our poles in the water in hopes of catching the big wahnee.
