Textbook Work

Today in Western Civ we did textbook work for the 1st time. It was on river valley civilizations and in paticular, Mesopotamia. Mesopotamia is a place in the fertile crescent which is the best place for farming. Also, Hammurabi's Code was in the pages we read. Hammurabis code was very strict and I think it was unfair. If you cant pay back the money for the pig then you die instead of jail. I don't believe in the death penalty at all because I think everyone deserves a second chance. I got a lot done today, I put my earbuds in and worked away with no distractions. I'm just hoping for a good grade on the test to get my grade up.
