Karri: I like how Karri went into explaining the reason as to why the pointed arch was beneficial: the pointed arch helped balance the pressure downwards, since the rest of the structure was pushing upwards. This also helped allow for thinner walls, which made it easier to cut into them for windows and stained glass.
Haley H: I thought it was interesting that Haley shared about the black plague killing so many people, and how the need for faith among people increased due to all of the despair that surrounded them, leading to a need for larger churches to hold the increase of worshipers.
