I couldn't express to him enough how much I enjoyed his class and all the lectures and theatre games we played. It is those little things that I remember most.

... were pieces of art work done for generations before the texts were written and after that, they still had to be published. From there, only the rich were well off enough to afford such a book. In fact, the Gospels were written from 20-100 years after Christ died. The Acts were a collection of works made from two hundred to three hundred years after the crucifixion, collected from different accounts.

My friends told me that he was a bookworm but his disciple told me that he wasn’t, but he did like school and did well in his studies. Confucianism has influenced Chinese attitudes, life patterns, and social virtues. It also has provided the background for Chinese political theories and institution.

... use the distributive property to take away the parentheses. When you use the distributive property, your equation will be 14x- 8-8x+24=3x+31. Then you have to combine like terms. Now that you've combined, your equation will be 6x+16=3x+31. The next step is to subtract 3x from both sides. Now your equation will be 3x+16=31. The next step is to subtract 16 from both sides. Your equation has been reduced to 3x=15. The last step is to divide both sides by 3 and your answer is x=5. There are also many steps needed to check a problem. First, you rewrite the problem. Under that you write the problem substituting all the x's with 5. Next, you evaluate the problem ...
