<p>I am really scared that I might get a zero. So for today's essay, I talked about Feudalism and how that causes a lack of trade. Without trade, new advances don't come in such as silk clothing or foods. I think that one should be ok. But then I wrote about Byzantine Empire and iconoclasm. I compared this with Western Europe's modes of thoughts. But 1/2 of this paragraph was about the Schism of Christianity. I know this Schism is from 1054, so I am really scared. The 3rd paragraph, I derped and put Crusades and the will to reclaim the holy lands from the Muslims. I know this happened in 1090. </p>

<p>Do you think the grades would be a little lenient and give me a 2 or 3? Or will I get a 0 for not correctly answering the question?</p>

<p>You should be fine regarding the Schism, as the time period was <em>circa</em> 200-1000 C.E. So 1054 is relatively safe. The main idea was to relate political transformations to cultural changes, however; if you didn’t relate it to cultural changes you will lose points. You definitely won’t get a 0, but you shouldn’t really expect a great score, sorry.</p>

<p>No, the schism was combined with the Byzantine empire. I talked about the political breakup of Christianity into those 2 regions, and I talked about caesaropapism, iconoclasm vs straight worship, and church.
You think I will be ok?</p>

<p>I talked about the Great Schism too! I was really scared because I totally blanked out and forgot when it happened.</p>
