Titian

TITIAN

By Trinity

Titian was the greatest painter of the 16th century. The first to have mainly international clientele. During his long career he experimented with many different styles of painting.

Titian was Born in Pieve dleadore, a small Town at the foot of the Dolomites on the Venetian side of the alp.

Paintings Titian painted: Flora, The Three Ages of Men, Pieta, Danae. His most famous one was the Rape of Europa.

In 1511 Titian painted his celebrated frrcoes in the Seudla del Santo in Padua. His style had now reached maturity marked by fullness of forms. I thank it is cool that he made his own style of painting.

Early in 1516 Titian started his professional relationship with Alfonso I d'esta Duke of Ferrara and spent time in Alfonso Castle. In 1516 Titian began work on his first major commission for a church called Santa Maria Gloriosa dei Frari in Venice.

The 1520s were hugely significant for Titian. In 1525 he married Cecilia who Tragically Died in 1530.

The last Phase of Titian life coincided with a radical revision of his own style and painting technique.

Muhammad Ali

Muhammad Ali

By Jade

Do you know who the greatest boxer of all time is? His name is Muhammad Ali. He was born January 17, 1942 in Louisville, Kentucky. The full name given to him at birth was Cassius Marcellus Clay, Jr.

Muhammad Ali was a Muslim, which is why he changed his name. I think that’s weird because most people don't change their name. He was married four times and had nine children.

Muhammad Ali won a gold medal at the 1960 summer Olympics. I think that’s really cool that he won a gold medal. "Muhammad Ali won the heavyweight boxing championship in 1964 against Sonny Liston. However, later in 1964 he was stripped of the world boxing association title due to a contract dispute."

Ali recorded spoken word albums, a "rhythm and blues" song and had two Grammy nominations. That’s awesome that he made music that’s cool!

The rumble in the jungle Ali defeated Foreman, who was undefeated at that point. It's considered one of the greatest sporting events of the 20th century.

He was the first person in history to win the heavyweight champion title three times. "On April 28, 1967 he refused to be inducted into the U.S. Army and was immediately stripped of his heavy weight title."

Muhammad Ali went in the hospital with a urinary tract infection before he turned 73. He died June 3, 2016 in Arizona I wish he didn't die, I wish I could have met him.

Nancy Wake

Nancy Wake: a Beast Within Beauty

I am going to tell you about the most interesting person (in my opinion). Nancy Grace Augusta Wake is one person I will never forget about. She helped end World War 2. She became a spy in the French Resistance.

Nancy Wake was the youngest of all her siblings. Her sisters were Hazel, Ruby, and Gladys Wake. Her brothers were Charles, and Stanly Wake. Her parents were Charles and Ella Wake. My point is, she was not an only child.

For now, let's just get to Nancy. She was a young lady with long brown hair. She got past a lot of her enemies because she had such stunning beauty. She was born in Wellington, New Zealand, 1913. She had a pretty normal childhood. Nothing big really happened. It is what she did as an adult is what I am going to tell you about.

She witnessed the rise of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi movement "saw roving Nazi gangs randomly beating Jewish men and women in the streets of Vienna. They were beating them for no reason. She wanted to stop that. One day, she found out that one of her aunts had died and left her a lot of money. Out of all her family members, she got all the money. She ran away from home to become a nurse. She was there for about a year. She trained herself to be a journalist. Then she found out that a spot in the French Resistance was open.

She took the job. She became captain of the French Resistance. That is where her story begins. She could not just stand by and let Nazis take over the world. She needed to do something. She took the job so she could do good in the world. She meant to keep that promise. She lead 7,000+

soldiers into battle against 22,000 German soldiers causing 1,400 casualties, suffering only 100 themselves.

On her miraculous journey she met Henri Edmond Fiocca. I do not know his story. She also met John Forward who she left because she had to do a mission. He would not come with her so she just left him. She also earned the name, The White Mouse. She was called The White Mouse because she was so hard to catch! Speaking of hard to catch, she was Gestapo's most wanted. By 1943 she had 5 million dollars on her head. So if somebody killed her, they would have got 5 million dollars! A lot of people wanted to kill her. As I told you before, she had extraordinary beauty. Nancy wake got away from a lot of people because she was so beautiful.

Nancy Wake got a lot of medals and awards. She got George medal, RSA badge in gold, Companion of the order of Australia, presidential medal of freedom and, Croix de guerre. She has just recently died but she lived a pretty long life. She was 98 and died August 8, 2011. She died of old age. 1913-2011. She did what she wanted to do. She saved and helped a lot of people. She was never caught.

Fun Fact: one time, Nancy Wake killed somebody with her bare hands! Another thing she did was parachute down into Nazi occupied France.

Goodbye and have a good rest of your day. I hope you are satisfied with my report on Nancy Wake. I think that she is very important to history. She helped end World War 2.

"Bonjour my french resistance fighters. As your captain, I will tell you who I am and what happened in my past. I was born 1912 and started to spy in 1943. I was 31. I was nicknamed The White Mouse because I was so hard to catch. I was caught many times but I got past them. I led 7,000+ Resistance fighters into battle against 22,000 Nazis. Some of those fighters were you. I killed one of our Nazi foes with my bare hands. I parachuted down into Nazi occupied France. I hope to see you at the ceremony honoring all the fighters that have died in battle."

I was born Sept.22 1958, and I started playing my guitar at the age 14, but i started playing professionally at age 15. Since I was a girl, nobody wanted me in their band and so, I started my own band with a couple of close friends, and our band name was the runaways. I had a couple of hits in the 1980's-1990's, and some of them you might recognize."
