Diary of a Wimpy Kid
This picture makes me feel like I'm getting pranked by my brother. I always get pranked, but they are doing more SERIOUS pranks. I hear myself saying "Oh my gosh are you serious?!".

Picture

My picture makes me feel like I'm in England visiting the queen or somthing or even the president. the gaurds are protecting the guns with the weapons and I hear silence besides the gaurds saying "Hut 234". I feel nervous because one incorrect move and I can be shot and killed. That's what i feel when I look at this picture.

Shadow Hero

Shadow heroes are my favorite because they feel stupid in the end.
They do something wrong but they end up doing something to help the person they tried to hurt.
When they do that incorrect thing they end up making the person or people then they look stupid.
They don't know they're a hero. They are doing things like barricading the doors and things like that and then the person they tried to block from getting in the room thinks about why they even wanted to go in there and then they think to their selves saying "If i go in there i could get caught and get in trouble."

The Babylonian Empire

The Babylonian Empire
                                                                                                           By Tayvion Jones

     The Babylonian Empire was a state in ancient Mesopotamia (modern day Iraq). It was founded and ruled by King Hammurabi in 1792 in the city of Babylon. Babylonians brought city-states together to gain lots of power around 1900 B.C. around 1750 B.C. King Hammurabi ran a tight ship with his famous code of laws in a steady environment where taxes we collected.

     The Babylonian Empire’s government type was theocracy and monarchy. Their laws mainly focused on relation. They had mainly one king or ruler. This ruler made laws ran the country as a single man, and was considered a living god. 

     They had a stable food supply because they farmers planted just about 24/7. They rearranged the farms to make sure their crops got enough water and sunlight. So everyone was fed and they always grew crops (all year round).

     Their art was sculpting (building) and cuneiform. One type of art they sculpted (built) was a ziggurat. This was a huge building for the Sumarians. Cuneiform were written in clay tablets with a pen called a stylus. You learned to write cuneiform in sumarian school.

     Their main religions were mythology and cosmology. This was the belief of idols. They had ceremonies and festivals to honor these idols. They all believed in one person or another that they look up to one person or another. This is also the belief of mythical creatures, and heroes.

      They had simple technology they only had old things like the plow, which helped farmers poke holes in the ground so that they can plant their crops without digging each and every hole one by one.

    They only had 3 social classes the upper classed was called an Awilu (a free person). They middle classed which is a Mushkenu (another free person but without as much freedom as a Awilu). And of course a lower class which was called a Wardu (a slave).


The Babylonian Empire was indeed a civilization because it had all seven characteristics that a civilization is supposed to have.

Research Misshaps

 You can make mistakes when you write. You can think you are doing every thing correct and then publish it and it could be totally incorrect! You can get someone to read it, for instance a teacher and they say... Um excuse me, this is incorrect data in your project. If you're going to search it on the Internet you need to search it multiple times in different words. Which ever info comes up the most is probably the correct one. But that isn't the case all the time. Someone wrote the incorrect data in a 4th grade textbook and one of the students parents realized it and reported it and the author made the kids learn incorrect things about the Civil War. That's one major example, the same thing could happen to you too so always check more than once when you're researching somthing!

Life

Life is full of things, people, luck, and hate. There are very important people in your life your parents family members and friends. But everyone in life is important to me so i respect every one and everything that happens to me. Now there's also adventures in life some near and some far some you can't even drive to in a car. Some haave never been discovered and never will be! In life there's also luck, you have good luck and bad luck. Good luck rarely comes but bad luck can come everyday. There is lots of luck around you me and everyone! Lastly there's hate in life people hate you and you hate people. There are things you can hate like certian foods, subjects, and sports. There is lots of things people can hate or not like. But just know that hate can come back to you and make bad things happen to you so don't hate every one and every thing! That's Life!!!
