Post the information on one member of the group's wiki. SCIENTOLOGY-This religion is based off of the teachings of L. Ron Hubbard. Scientology focuses on the human "spirit" and explains that humans are essentially more than genetics and flesh. Scientologists are guided by a set of rules such as being in touch with nature, family and all life forms on earth. They also believe in good and evil, good things are perceived as good deeds,honesty and a person who is one with their inner self, also one with their environment. Sins are viewed as one who has not come to terms with their inner self and who lives a life of selfishness, also sins can be any thing that take you off the path of Scientology and also any thing that destroys life. I feel that this religion has some aspects that are similar to Christianity but has a very unique perception on how to live your life. Some ideals in Scientology are perceived differently in other religions for example reincarnation in Scientology is simply one who dies will remain as a spirit on earth, but in a other religions you reincarnate as a animal based on how you lived your life. I think this "religion" is creative and a lot of time and thought was put into the creation of Scientology.

Lopez de Cardenas-terrain was to steep to climb down and also to many obstacles such as rocks and boulders. 4a.The authors styles are similar in relating in scenarios with native Americans also on how they described their landscapes. 4b.The authors styles differ on how they portray the landscapes I feel that the Journey through Texas was more vivid in painting a mental picture of the scene. 5.I choose the Journey through Texas as being the more effective narrative because of the way the author had decided to portray the characters and also the detail of the villages made the story slightly more readable.

Pg72 Jamestown **WHERE ARE YOUR PICTURES? 7/10** Reaction: I thought that the first story was alot more interesting than the second one because of the violence and the action that was very well expressed in gory detail. The indians felt that the white man was invading so the indians tried to defend themselves but the white **M**an was here to stay.

The lack of food and hostile neighbors really put a bind on the white man causing them to almost be wiped out and casting them back to europe. **Always capitalize continents.

Al Capone is the SYMBOL of the twenties for he is the most notorious gangster. He is especially known for bootlegging and murder and evading the police time after time. He is also known for being ruthless and very rich with an ever abundant monetary resource.
