RECOVERING THE LOST SCOTTISH
COMMUNITY LIBRARY:
THE EXAMPLE OF FENWICK
By John Crawford
Glasgow Caledonian University
In summary this article, concerning Presbyterianism, that Scottish were very comfortable with the Presbyterian faith. They were bombarded with Angelicans and other religions but a faction of the Scots kept presbyterian way alive. They did reform the faith to not be so closely related to government. I was aware that Presbyterianism had its start in Scotland so this was understandable.
What I got out the reading is that Presbyterianism started and its power in lowland Scotland.

Research Topics
Presbyterian-ism?
I'm a Presbyterian however I don't know what that means. I had asked questions but I never got a reasonable explanation of what is Presbyterianism. Catholics, Jews, Baptists know who they are and what they value. Poor Presbyterian that I am, I don't know what values I should have to be a Presbyterian. I know we are a forgiving bunch with the understanding that only God knows what happens next in our lives and we can't change that. I think its called divine destiny, but who knows.
I think we also value mercenary work, which might be bad news for me since I have hard time away from home in a safe clean environment. I would die in Africa. To figure this problem out I could research the differences in views Presbyterian's have compared to other religions. What is values and foundations that make up Presbyterianism. What is the role of the church in daily life? Or just plainly what is a Presbyterian?
Pluto
Scientists now know Pluto is not a planet. I understand that but what is it then? A giant asteriod?
According to EUP's Dr. LoPresto its a comet head. Now my question is what is a comet head? Are there more comet heads? What makes it a comet head instead of a asteriod or planet? Why are people being so stuborn about it begining a planet? So I wish to explore the question "What is Pluto?"
Warner Bros.
As a begining animator I'm aware of the history of Disney. In English 101 I had written a paper on anime so I understand that as well. I however don't know Warner Bros. role in animation history. I know Porky was their first cartoon and they kept opening and closing the studio but really other than the cartoon I have seen I don't know much about the Bros. Why did they decide to take on animation? Why wasn't the studio always running? Why did they stop or did they? This is my last option for a topic so I really didn't think this through. Basically what is Warner Bros. role in Animation?

Everything So Far
I'm heading into the second semester of my first year of college, what a ride. All of my art skills that were good enough in high school are useless. At least I wasn't to far gone to learn how to draw.
My study skills however have proven to be more than just useful. Art history was the easiet class I've had so far.
English however seems to be in the middle. I know to write papers about readings and research of indivuals. In High school papers I was forribiden to use I and you. which at first was difficult in middle school but by high school I could hand in A papers as easy I make bread into toast. Here, I now have to incorporate my opinon. I guess it wasn't too much of a jump since now I just pick a side and stop reading up on old dead guys.
I have to say I'm pretty sure of myself whens comes to writting but its no longer a peice of toast.
