My Favorite Greek Thinker

I think that Philo is one of the most important greek thinkers.He had been focusing on the imporant things in life back then.He had been focusing mainly on the conception of God.He had mostly been focusing on that kind of topic.If he were not tobe focusing on that, he would be focusing on something about other grrek thinkers who were as smart as him.But he was very smart and thinkable.Another reason why i liked him, is because he didnt care about what others thought about him.

Joseph's Blog Project

4,000 years ago there was a man who was 1/3 human and 2/3 god,his name was Gilgamesh.He was the strongest human that ever existed.There was a group of people that created a man named Enkido.They called him the wild man.He went into the city and destroyed houses and then the trained him to go against Gilgamesh.Then as they meet, they fight until night time.But they put a stop to this and Gilgamesh and Enkido start to be friends.A few years past and Gilgamesh and Enkido, were lazy.So then gigamesh comes up with a great invention that so they can cut down the trees so they can capture Humbaba.But eventually Enkido gives a protest, but gives in.They go onto their journey and then Gilgamesh has these bad dreams.He had a dream about that they may go to battle and may not come home safely.in his next dream he sees this man that his flesh is made of stone.He continues dreaming that he wraps his arms around Gilgamesh.Then once they begin chopping down the trees,they see Humbaba.Then Humbaba attacks Gilgamesh and starts clawing him.Then Enkido tries to help Gilgamesh,but then Humbaba beats up Enkido.Then Gilgamesh comes back and defeats Humbaba.Then the continue cutting down every single tree.Then Enkido falls to the ground,Gilgamesh finds out that the problem was that Enkido finds himself locked up in The House Of Dust. It was so horrible that Enkido had to drink dirt.

After 12 long days, Enkido looses sight.Gilgamesh is very sad of the loss of his friend.In addition,Gigamesh is loosing his faith.In my opinion, I think that Gilgamesh is a hero.He saved a lot of lifes.

Gilgamesh's note in the story is that no one can be as tough to do anything in life.No one will be perfect.

I am A Mesopotamian


Our clan has found this place called Sumer.The people we have encountered here are mostly friendly.I think they could help the as much as they could help us.There is plenty of room for our farming & plenty of water from the two rivers.It is warm most of the year.In setting, we must be careful not to in places susceptible to flash floods since storms here are sudden & fierce.We still have problems keeping up with the new people coming into the area, plus our own new families.All the time we must watch attack by strangers, & plant our crops even before we have a dependible way of irrigating them from the two rivers.
