Reflection: Cuniform

I think that my cuneiform went very well all of my friends said that it was the best cuneiform that they have seen. I think that it was very neat, and very organized although I didn't finish it I think that other people wouldn't have a problem reading my cuneiform.

Hammurabi's code

Hammurabi's Code

Why I think it is fair:

I think that the rules are very fair because people have to be punished for what they do badly. Another reason why I think that laws are good is because without laws it would be very hectic for everyone; no one would know what to do, without laws THINGS WOULD BE CRAZY!!!!!!

Why I think it is not fair:

I think that sometimes people wouldn’t have their word in anything, they might have been innocent and didn’t do it, but some people might have done it but have bean claimed innocent.

A day in the Bronze Age

One day, I wake up in the middle of the night dreaming something, i went bad to sleep. Ching, Ching. I heard something and i sat up, i looked around me and there were people all around me, with swards, fighting. I WAS IN THE MIDDLE OF A BATTLE FIELD!!!
I get up and a man comes up to me, he was warring a leather kilt and some kind of leather shirt, and looks at me and laughs! Ofcorce i would understand, i am wearing my PJ's! I knew that i needed to get some clothes fast! So i went to the closest hut, and asked for clothes, the nice lady gave me some and then i left. A man comes running to me saying, "You need a sward! Hear, take mine! GO GO GO GO GO GO!" "GO WERE?!?!?!?!?!?!?" i replied scared. He pointed to some men fighting, and told me to go fight over there. So i go over there and i start swinging my sward around and i kill them all. The guy looks at me and said, "You are a natural!" I thank him and smile back.
I go back to the shelter that i was in earlier and asked about what they do as families, and what they made from tools and weapons. She answered, "We make Bronze by melting and mixing 9 parts copper and 1 part tin. That way the mettle is endurable. We also make tools like Planting tools, shovels, pick axes, axes and more. Out of the weapons we usually make just swards but we also make other things like arrow heads. Another thing we make bronze into are pots for keeping grain and other fruits and vegetables."
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!" i heard someone behind me and i looked, and i saw a man with a wooden club coming for me and hit me in the head. I woke up back in my bed but with the same clothes the woman gave me. Hmmm... That was weird..... I guess it was just a dream! Back to bed. :)
