Homework Help: SOCIAL STUDIES

Posted by ELINA on Friday, June 12, 2009 at 8:10pm.

I had to outline the achievement of Erasmus and I wrote: as a young man, he tried to live in monk, but instead went ot university of paris, where he like the other humanists became popular for his learning & travelled to England where he got to meet king henery VIII. his income was low so he often wrote humorous books and & taught school to add to it. In his books he wrote critical things of church, attacking priests bishops cardinals & even the pope. Many of his wrirings were so outrageous that Charles V made reading them & capital offence. He was never considered a hertic because he never did attack teachings of church.

If u can then can u make this shorter, because I think I have some nonimportant things added to it, & please if u can then can u add to it if you think I have missed anything, please and thank u

  Having a low income, teaching school, and meeting Henry VIII were not his major accomplishments. What were Erasmus's main achievements? What did he do that made him famous?
  
  Didn't his writings try to convince people to reform the Catholic Church from within?
  
  This article may give you some ideas.

  When you repost your paragraph, please be sure to proofread it carefully first.

  please do tell me if this is good or Not
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - Ms. Sue, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 8:50pm

  What do you mean by "disapproved of the balances of the Roman Catholic?"
  
  Do you mean Roman Catholic Church?
  
  Do you mean he disagreed WITH many of the beliefs ?
  
  You need some capitalization and correct "Fooly" in the last sentence.
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - ELINA, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 8:55pm

  yeah by diasapproved I meant criticized
  Please add to it,i need help:-(
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - Ms. Sue, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 9:04pm

  What are the "balances?"
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - ELINA, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:01pm

  I thnk like the rules they had in the church which luther thought weren't fair or right
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - Ms. Sue, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:13pm

  You're right about the church rules. But balances is the wrong word in this sentence.
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - ELINA, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:18pm

  then what would be the best word to put in that sentence?
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - ELINA, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:25pm

  so would i say specific rules
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - Ms. Sue, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:38pm

  Right!

  Erasmus was a humanist and a reformer. Erasumas harshly disapproved what he thought were the specific rules of the Roman Catholic Church. Until his death he disagreed to many of the beliefs of the church which influenced the reformation movement to Protestant religion. He wrote the praise of folly and handbook of christian knight.His writings tried to convince people to reform the Catholic Church from within.
  
  Is this good.?
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - Ms. Sue, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:55pm

  Much better! :-)
  
  It's almost perfect except for capitalizing the names of the books.
  
  Now -- I have a question for you. Is English your first language?
  
  The reason I ask is that you've omitted a couple of articles (the, a, an) -- which is typical of people who do not usually speak English at home.
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - ELINA, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 10:58pm

  english is my 2nd language.
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - Ms. Sue, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 11:07pm

  Thanks for answering my question. Now I understand you better. I've worked with a young Korean woman for several years and although her spoken and written English are nearly perfect at a college level, she still sometimes misuses the articles.
  
  Keep up the good work, Elina! You are a very conscientious and hard-working girl! :-)
  

• SOCIAL STUDIES - ELINA, Friday, June 12, 2009 at 11:12pm
