Lesson 55 Essay

This week I learned about universities, wine press, ribbed vault, and the chimney. First, I learned about universities. It taught how to follow orders and obey the system. The university system produced many great scholars that improved knowledge. Next, I learned about the wine press. The wine press mashes grapes and squeezes the juice out of them. It helped promote discovery of wine that didn’t spoil fast. Next, I learned about the ribbed vault. The ribbed vault allowed very tall ceilings and long buildings. Abbott sugar used the ribbed vault to create the Gothic style in 1135 AD. Lastly, I learned about the chimney. It started a greater distance between the upper and lower classes. It sealed the fireplace cracks and the cracks in the walls.
