    Grade for having wiki up and having necessary items by Saturday 9/25: 10/10World History Journal
    It looks pretty good. Be sure you have the title page first and then you are also missing your references at the end.

    Hello my name is Michael and my son and I are living in Mesopotamia. Soon I hope he can become somewhat dependent and be a cook just like his father. I am glad he was able to be raised in the middle class part of town; it was worth all the work of those long days before his mother died. After his mother died I was very happy I was a cook because I knew how to make the best food in town, including our favorite, pita bread pizza. My son, Bonobo, and I love to take fishing trips along the Tigris and Euphrates rivers.
    The King has sent us on this journey for many reasons; one was that he was looking for his second wife, after his first one was beheaded by their servant. Secondly, he has sent Chris (our friend), Bonobo, and I to go seek a good general for his army. Lastly, he wanted a new pet, preferably a donkey, but he would accept many different animals. We value the agricultural farming in our civilization because it brings us great wealth. It provides cooking material for me. It also provides food to the civilization. I think that we need to change the balance of power in our civilization. I think that the religious leaders should have higher authority. The servants should be treated with more respect because they are human beings just like us and for all the work that they do. The kings’ rule should not be hereditary; instead there should be an election. Well, that is my opinion but we do not have any input in the system.

    Dear Journal,
    We have finally arrived in Egypt. As we were coming into the port, I noticed grand statues of these men with large hats and strange goatees. What a unique place this is! Here is a picture of these statues:

    I also noticed many guards along the port; I would be scared if I wasn’t on such a mission.

    lose to the docks, we heard many different languages and saw many different colors of skin trading with one another. As you moved closer to the epicenter of the city, you passed through simple, poorer, farming neighborhoods. In these suburbs you saw little color in the clothing, but as you moved closer to the larger buildings, the colors shot out at you. People here were wealthier and this was showed in the clothes they wore. Here, you only heard Akkadian being spoken, so I had a difficult time communicating. Even with this I could gather that people were talking about a current war the Babylonians were fighting, no one seemed worried for this was a common event for Babylonians.
    I saw the grand palace, which was home to the king Hammurabi. His set of laws known as Hammurabi’s Code could be seen posted on walls throughout the city. In my home town the consequences for crimes isn’t set for all but decided individually. It makes me think about how different a society can be when we are so close._GoBack The Babylonians have no knowledge of the fever. We are going to go to Egypt; we have no time to waste.

    We are in the middle class and we always have food on the table. My favorite food is corn because there is not very much room in Phoenicia to grow crops. Most of the food we eat comes from the water so any crop is a treat. I spend my time trying to make the prestigious Tyrian purple dye only found in Tyre, the city in which I live. Only the wealthiest people wear clothes made with the purple dye, and I am determined to have a purple tunic one day. Well journal, I think that I have given you enough information for one day, good night.
