2. Why Johannes Gutenberg should be the renaissance man • I think Johannes Gutenberg should be the renaissance man because he was a great inventor. He was the inventor of the printing press. Officials believe that his invention was one of the greatest inventions to this day because it provided printed books. It helped in religious matters a lot. We would not have any of the religious bibles and religious books without the printing press. Every one who loves books just imagine if you didn't’t have any books that you could enjoy. That is why Johannes Gutenberg should be the reissuance man

6. The Renaissance Man • Everyone sees what you appear to be, few experience what you really are. This is a quote by Machiavelli. Its in the historical book, The Prince (1513). Machiavelli isn’t remembered for paintings or speeches he’s remembered for being a writer and he had the greatest influence in history. • Machiavelli made such a reputation for himself that his name is still used today as an adjective, Machiavellian meaning cunning.

7. Galileo galilei is the renaissance man. Have you ever wondered what’s really out there? How many times have you looked at the moon or the stars? Galileo Galilei was the first to take a closer look. In 1609, he heard of a telescope built by a Dutch eyeglass maker and soon built his own which was 32 times more powerful and started studying astronomy. He discovered many things including that Jupiter has 4 moons, what are now referred to the Galilean moons. People today still use his amazing ideas and without Galileo, things wouldn’t be as simple! He made his observations and published his results in his book SideriusNunciuswhich means (the starry messenger). Just think about how things would be without this guy! People wouldn’t understand astronomy as well. He did so much more too! Be happy that we have a guy like him and MAKE SURE TO VOTE FOR GALILEO!!!!
