But illuminated manuscripts are usually thought of as an art of the Middle Ages. This was an age when only a few people could read. Leaders of the church believed that pictures in a book would provide religious education to those who could not understand written words. For the same reason, the beautiful churches and cathedrals of the age were also lavishly decorated.

Illuminated manuscripts were usually filled with pictures of religious events. Often the first letter of a new section was surrounded with decoration. These illustrations were called miniatures.

Many illuminated manuscripts were done in rich colors and gold.

Sometimes the designs were based on flowere and plants. Often the designs were geometric patterns-circles, triangles, squares and so forth. The pattern often had nothing at all to do with the thext but were created only to decorate the page. Early in the Middle Ages, the pages of manuscripts were dyed purple.

About Essays

Essay writing is a requirement in order to have academic success. There are four main types of essay and each type of essay is named according to what the writer’s goal is. These four major types of essay are narrative essay, descriptive essay, expository essay, and persuasive essay. In a narrative essay, the writer or author narrates his or her story based on his or her experiences in real life. It has a plot, characters, setting, and etc. This type of essay usually uses the first person point of view. The descriptive essay is similar and alike to the narrative essay. In this type of essay, the writer describes any kinds of topic such as a person, a thing, or a place. The writer or author uses descriptive, colorful, or flowery words that are mostly sensory. The expository essay exposes ideas and analysis of a topic. It is mainly informative and it is usually written by the use of stating facts, statistics, comparing and contrasting, defining, giving examples, and telling the causes and effects. An expository essay should have a thesis statement. This is the most common essay which uses the five paragraph format that is composed with an introductory paragraph, three body paragraphs, and a concluding paragraph. Writers or authors do not use the first person point of view in writing an expository essay. In a persuasive essay, the writer or author also presents and states facts and gives expert reasoning in order to convince the readers to agree on the writer’s point. This type of essay is also known as the argumentative essay in which the writer or author must have a stand on a certain topic. Just like an expository essay, a persuasive essay should also have a thesis statement and may also use the five paragraph format.

Opening Lines

The opening of your speeches, books, movies are very important to be able to attract your listener's eyes and ears to you. These are the kinds of lines that will not just open the minds of the audience but also their closed hearts. Here are the most interesting opening lines personally picked for your entertainment and study purposes.  


This first opening line came from a TED talk:

"Okay, now I don’t want to alarm anybody in this room, but it’s just come to my attention that the person to your right is a liar. (Laughter) Also, the person to your left is a liar. Also the person sitting in your very seats is a liar. We’re all liars. What I’m going to do today is I’m going to show you what the research says about why we’re all liars, how you can become a liespotter and why you might want to go the extra mile and go from liespotting to truth seeking, and ultimately to trust building."

Patrick Henry was a speaker in a colonist assembled held at the Virginia convention. It was an argument whether to move forces against the British. Here is his opening speech:

"Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! — I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"

Charles Dickens's A Tale of Two Cities was really popular during the year of 1859. Here is a great line from his book:

"It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair."

Miracles of Jesus

As we celebrate Christmas, we also appreciate the birth of Jesus. Let's bring down interesting facts of the miracles that he made that were mentioned in the bible in a chronological order.


About 2, 000 years ago, Jesus was born to a woman named Mary who was living in Jerusalem. Mary never had sexual intercourse with anyone and it was a sin to do that before marriage. Although, God conceived His son into the womb of the Virgin Mary.

The first miracle that Jesus made by himself was when he changed the water to wine in a wedding he and her mother attended. Because there were no more wine, her mother asked her if he can change the water to wine. He was an obedient son and changed six stone jars of water to wine completely.

There were a lot of miracles that were mentioned involving fish catching. And one of them was when he ordered Simon Peter to put down the net on the deep water infront of all other witnesses. He worked hard all day and didn't had a good catch but this time, he was able to catch a lot of them in one net.

Healing is a very popular miracle of Jesus. However, he didn't just heal people but wake them up from the dead. A dead child was carried back to him and her mother was weeping asking him to bring him back. He just touched the bier and the dead man stood up like nothing happened.

Jesus and his disciples were traveling through a lake with a boat when a storm emerges. His disciples were too afraid that they awoke Jesus from his sleep. He asked them why they were afraid and just a motion of his two hands, the clouds separated breaking the storm and they could see the sun again.
