Before the first crusade started the emperor of “Rome” (eastern empire) asked the western empire for help against the Seljuk Turks who where terrorizing the country side and had taken countless cities including the “holy” city of Jerusalem.

The svastika was also depicted on the chest of Buddha, founder of Buddhism in Buddhism the svastika is typically used in rituals and ceremonies.

Halfway through the 2nd paragraph you bored me to tears with scientific talk so I stopped.

correction: ATTEMPT at scientific talk

The sun keeps the earth at a temperature at which water or H2O will be in its liquid form this liquid water as well as amino acids wouldn’t have escaped the darkness known as earth without the heat of the sun and the molten magma of the core.

That in a historical essay + the grammar mistakes and incoherent sentence flow...

FALL OF SVASTIKA
By: Gbadehan, Ademola

Swastika, an auspicious image of great power revered world wide as a symbol of good luck, good will, good behavior, and the sun, has been tarnished, but by whom and why. Hitler and his Nazis chose the swastika to connect with a long gone Aryan past, but in the process turned a symbol aged thousands of years into a sign of death and anti-Semitism. In mien-kaumphf(it's Mein Kampf meaning my struggles) Hitler reveals his design for his swastika, a red black svastika inscribed in a white circle with a crimson red background. This swastika is the swastika westerners have grown to know hate and fear. Whilst in eastern country’s, like India, China, and Japan the swastika stands for good luck, good will, good behavior, and the sun. Because of the atrocity known as world war two thousands are ignorant of an honored past a past that may never return.
Svastika is a symbol commonly associated with Hitler and his military machine, but the holocaust and Nazism are not the only sides of this honorable image. Some where(I'd have just said in Persia making it sound more definite and make the teacher read and think you know what your talking about) in Persia an astronomer noticed the revolution of the sun and assigned the life giving sun a symbol this symbol was swastika. "The sun is a floating ball of gas, but also a main factor in life on earth, for without it life as man knows it would not be possible. The sun keeps the earth at a temperature at which water or H2O will be in its liquid form this liquid water as well as amino acids wouldn’t(No colloquialism, should have known better) have escaped the darkness known as earth without the heat of the sun and the molten magma of the core. The sun is an important factor in photosynthesis; without the sun photosynthesis wouldn’t(colloquialism) have started and man or life possibly may have not evolved."(That is irrelevant to your original topic and you spoke too much of it would have been marked down ) By using deductive reasoning the ancients (Persians Indians Mayans Chinese Slavs Germans Aryans Armenians Arabs Syrians Greeks Romans Egyptians etc… (do not use etc unless you've said etcetera before and what is ...? Mark down)) were able to deduce that the sun was the cause of life and naturally worshipped(spelling error) the sun or in some cases the sky, this would later lead to the foundations of religion (of the religion? is that what you meant, from what I am aware swastika is part of buddhism and by no mean is it the foundations of buddhism I may be wrong, but that not that it should be that isanother story. Because of this sun worship the svastika (image of the sun) received an equal if not greater amount of worship.
This svastika reverence was not only native to Persia, but also India. In India the svastika was adopted by 3 ( not 3 it's three anything under 10 in formal writing must not be written in figures this is basic stuff.)religions; the Jains, Buddhist and Hindus. The Hindus used the svastika in a similar way as the Persians symbolizing the revolving sun, but also symbolizing good will towards others, and good luck. This form of the svastika which could be inverted (counter-clockwise) was seen on the bands of fighter pilots during world war one, and at one point in American history was (world war one) actually encouraged; sadly immediately after world war two the use of svastika was discontinued.
The svastika was also depicted on the chest of Buddha, founder of Buddhism in Buddhism the svastika is typically used in rituals and ceremonies. In Jainism the swastika is depicted on the symbol for Jainism similar to the way Christians depict the crucifix.
Svastika as shown above also has a religious heritage, but how is it possible that one man’s reign (Hitler’s) could devastate it so ([b]devastate it so? incomplete sentence? [b]), yet the Christian crucifix’s blemished past hasn’t effected its reverence in anyway. To more deeply understand this hypocritical paradox to the crusades you shall travel to the crusades and beyond.

B-

That's generous.


C/C+ if the teacher doesn't like you!

In mien-kaumphf

Bless you?

Where are your paragraphs? And you should double check all your facts before putting them down.

(should be an F i bullshitted the whole essay and half of it is wikified) but i want to see what other people think of it so here it is (its meh i think i shouldve gotten an F)

If you received 110/330 then, by my math, you did get an F.

Wikipedia didn't exist when I was in high school. Not until late junior year I think. We had to BS papers the old way lol, with pure imagination.

Me neither. Back then it was easier to BS, teachers were too lazy to check your sources. Now they just look on wiki =\

You guys are being a little harsh.....he's not in college he's in freakin high school...and a sophomore at that...i think half the stuff i wrote back then was
