Michelangelo and Leonardo DaVinci are used as examples of Renaissance men because they also contributed some great idea to the later period and they also did lots of famous works that can influence people's thought in nowadays.

Leonardo DaVinci made two masterpieces, The Last Supper and The Mona Lisa. And in his painting, he developed a new painting style that is a dark three-dimensional effect. This style made the chief object looked sharper and more realistic. This new painting style influenced the artists in later time.
Michelangelo’s famous work is he designed the dome of ST. Peter's Cathedral in Rome. It’s the also influenced architectural style in later time.

Their common characteristic is their work also influenced people in later time.

Renaissance men are different from the typical characters in the middle Ages because the Renaissance men's work is more colorful and more hopeful than the work in the Middle Stone Age. In the Middle Stone Age, people’s work only about religion, there was no other theme. But the Renaissance men made lots of colorful and realistic.

F.2 Weekend Homework

I would feel alarm, helpless and homesick to abandon everything familiar for the completely unknown.

I have a very similar experience in eleven years old when I knew I need to move to Australia and live in that foreign place when I go to a upper form. My mother and father said Australia is a better place to study English than Hong Kong. And I think the other reason why my parents want me to live in Australia is because I was born in Australia, Darwin. But I think Hong Kong is my real home, but they aren't. I felt afraid because I have no impressions to my born place. And I need to afresh adapt my new life and to afresh recognize new friends and the local system. I was afraid about I can't adapt this new life.

And I would feel hopeless because I didn't know much about the culture in Australia. And I think in my new life, there must be tougher difficulties that I need to solve.

Also, I would feel homesick when my all parents stay in Hong Kong and I stay in Australia alone, this feeling is not good. And I would so miss my mother, my father and my sisters.

But after debating with my mother and father, I don't need to move to Australia! And I can still stay in Hong Kong, my real home and still study in Hong Kong! I think Hong Kong is a better place, my own thought! Anyway, this is my special experience!

History Homework

I think our power structure is not fundamentally different from medieval society. It still has a shape of triangle. And on the top of the triangle, the people possess the largest power in the society of Hong Kong. On the contrary, at the bottom of the triangle, the people have the most the smallest authority in the society classes. And it's similar to the medieval society because the people who are distributed to the bottom of the classes, they all have chance to upgrade their classes and have more power.

On the top of our Hong Kong power structure, there is the chief executive Donald Tsang. The second class includes Secretary for justice, Chief Secretary for Administration and Financial secretary. Under the second class, there are 12 policy bureaus secretaries. And on the fourth class, there are 61 departments and agencies. At the bottom of the society, it includes lots of commoners.

But the differences between nowadays power structure and the medieval society is, there is a huger triangle on our Hong Kong society, and it is very unusual characteristic in Hong Kong. And also, in the medieval society, people need to kill the emperor and they even don't need to have any ability! But in nowadays Hong Kong, the person on the top need to have capability.
