M15

            After finding out that the statues were real people turned into stone I figured out that I should study something else. Tomorrow I will be having a meeting with prince Siddhartha, the one who found his key to enlightenment and became a Buddha. He wants to have a meeting about how he should find his key to enlightenment (this is when he hadn't found his key to enlightenment).
            I was just about to take a bite of my sandwich when someone knocked at my door. I went to go open it and it was a boy with a note in his hand. He handed the note to me and  went running. i told him to wait but he had already ran off. Anyway I looked at the note and read it:

Jasmine,
Come to my palace tomorrow at  5:30a.m
and we'll talk about
something really important.

               Prince Siddhartha


That is what the note said. I wondered what could possibly be so important if he had everything; he doesn't suffer, and he has it all. But I didn't care even though it said meet me at 5:30a.m. But I didn't care, I'm still going to go.
            I went back to the kitchen to finish eating my sandwich. I enjoyed every bit of it. When I was done with my sandwich I went to go read a book about Prince Siddhartha. I wanted to know more about him.
           I woke up at 4:30a.m. to get ready and went down to his palace at 5:00a.m. He wanted to talk to me about him trying to be the awaken one. I tell him he needs to get rid of his wealth to find the key to enlightenment. He thanks me a lot. He tells me that he is now going to become a Buddha.

M14 2-2

            I went to go visit one of my good friends. She said she wanted to tell me something about what I was exploring about. I thought it was kinda weird because what could she possibly know about statues in Mohenjodaro. But then i found out that the statues that I thought were so beautiful were actually real people turned into stone. I was so shocked at that moment I thought that it was all a lie but then I asked someone really smart and I just couldn't believe it it was true. I felt so dumb at that moment because I felt as if I were really dumb.

M14 1/2

          Here I am in Mohenjodaro studying about the beautiful statues. The statues are really wonderful.
          I don't really know what some of the statues represent. Some could show how men in Mohenjodaro dressed. Some statues could represent someones job or something else. In the lower city I found a stone statue seven inches high. The statue has a short, tidy beard and a clean upper lip. His hair is tied with a band. He is wearing a patterned robe draped over his left shoulder. He has a calm and novel expression. But I'm not sure what the statue represents. I think that it could be a priest or a king.
         After that i went to go eat.

M13-Brahmaputra River

           After a long week at ancient outdoor school I have return to explore. Ancient outdoor school  as fun except the part when I was famished after the long hike when I was at animals field study.
          So this time I will be exploring ancient India. I hope its really fun!
          Now that I know where in India I'm going to exploring I know wits going to be fun. I am going to be exploring the Brahmaputra River . I hope that there isn't a monsoon while I'm at the river.
          Now i am going to take a ride down the Brahmaputra River. As I was riding down the river I learned that the rive joins another river called the Ganges river. As the boat went by I noticed that the river was beautiful. I can see all the trees, people, and how the water flowed. I heard one of the woman's ask me if I was enjoying the rivers view. I replied really instantaneous. I was just enjoying the beautiful view of the river and the sunset. 
         I had learned so many things about the Brahmaputra river. Some things are that it starts up in the Himalayas. From there, it winds through snowcapped mountains and narrow canyons. The water is clear and cold as it rushes over the sharp rocks. The river becomes slower and deeper as it moves into its valley. Also each summer, heavy monsoon rains add water to this part of the river. The heavy rains cause the river to overflow its banks. I also know that the Brahmaputra river joins another river. It joins the Ganges river on the plains. Where the rivers meet, the land is very fertile, which that means its good for farming. I suggest that you go explore the the Brahmaputra river. (;

M12-Food and drink/WC

         I'm finally getting ready to go to a fancy restaurant. Its a really fancy restaurant in Rome. Sometimes I wonder if they sell waffles in Rome. I can't wait to taste the food. One of my good friends told me that their food was disgusting. So I can't wait to to taste their food. I want to see if it is disgusting or not.
        I finally got there and ordered something that I didn't know what it was. My friend was eating with me too. The decorations were awesome.
       "There was a really cool restaurant down the street. Did you see it?" my friend was telling me.
       " No." I replied.
       Well the food finally arrived it looked delicious. I was eating mice cooked in honey, roasted parrots stuffed with dates, salted jellyfish, and snails dipped in milk. Some people were playing music and it was really cool. For almost the entire time I didn't talk to my friend, it was as if she were invisible. Then I talked to her, but she was sleeping. So after all that fun I had to go home and go to sleep. I told my friend that the waitress's were really nice. They're really cool too. They're also really awesome.

M11

        Finally I'm in Rome. I am finally studying about it. I hope that it would be better then Greece.
       I am now helping the struggle of Rome plebeians. It is very difficult. I have to convince the patricians to not violate the human rights of the plebeians. But sometimes when I'm helping them it feels like I'm invisible.
      While I was working with Trinity, one of my good friends, I couldn't think of anything to stop the patricians.  I probably wasn't concentrated because I was looking at someone playing with blubber.

Some rights the plebeians gained

After all the fighting the plebeians finally gained some rights. For example the plebeians' revolt led to a major change in government. The patricians agreed to let the plebeians elect officials called Tribunes of the Plebs. Later, they gained the power to veto, or overrule, actions by the Senate and government officials that they thought were unfair. The plebeians could also elect lawmaking body, the Council Plebs. they gained some really important rights. After they earned the rights they wanted they thanked me .

M-10




This is the Battle of Salamis. When I
was watching this battle I was eating
a sandwich.


                                        This is a theater in ancient
                                        Greece. I froze. When I
                                        saw this I froze and saw
                                     how huge it was.






                                                                                  


                         


 .Wow! I sat there, staring at this helmet, wondering if I should put it on. This was an awesome helmet.
         I remember when I went with Isis to this temple. We went to go see Zeus. I also remember when Isis tried and destroyed Zeus's sword.                
             Trying to remember, I can still picture Zeus in my mind.








Whoa! I can imagine myself running across this battle and never find my way out.









I can I still remember this car,the one I almost got in a car accident with, when I was driving with Isis.  While I was driving I thought I saw a zombie.I was felling really groggy that day.














 This is Alexander the Great's Empire. It is really big. I just wish I can go back to the empire.













This is a Greek discus thrower. It is really cool.








 I ran across the field chasing Isis before I wasn't able to see the Greek gods. I was so excited this day.










 Every flag is beautiful, and every flag is wonderful. This is the Greek flag!











Yummy! I tried this food in Greece. It was bomb. You should try it too.















As I was studying the Greek alphabet, I tried to study carefully.
