There are many great achievments that have come from China. Some that I think are very important are paper money, and the smallpox imunation. Paper money was very important. For one thing we still use it today, because that is what we use as our currency. Imagine if there was no paper money, we would have to carry heavy coins around. That to me would be no fun. Also if we did not have paper money, the prices might be higher or even lower. Another thing is that if we did not have money as paper dollars maybe what everything would change, the value of a coin could be less or more than what a dollar is worth. Prices would also have to change to fit in with the new values of money.
Imunation for smallpox is very important as well. For one thing it is something we use today when we go the doctor. It also helped many survive this which probably meant less people died of smallpox. Is it not great that we have stuff like this today to help us be healthy.
I have many things to be thankful for ,but I will only say my top three. The very first thing that I am thankful is having a good family. A father that does not drink nor smoke, which to me is really important because he doesn't hit our family members like many kids find their family going through that because someone that is really drunk. I am grateful that I have a loving and very hardworking mother that is always there for me and that always has everything under control. I am also grateful for having an older sister that helps me a lot and that gives me advice so that I will not fall, I also have a younger sister that I give my attention to and that I help in whatever she needs. I also have a very, but very adorable and awsome little brother who is always happy no matter what and that makes me want to do everything in his honor, I really love my whole family!!
I am also grateful for having where to live, shelter, so that I don't get wet when it rains or cold when it is cold outside. I am also grateful that I have enough to eat every single day! I know that there are kids out there that don't have anything to eat and so they go and take things from the trash that they think they can eat that is relly sad.
Griots were West Africa storytellers. The griots were suppose to memorize stories or other things that had to do with the past. They retold this stories to groups and retold them so vividly and wiht so much emotion. Back then griots were very important and they are still very important today. They were impotrant because they were the people who talke about the past. So they were depended on for what happened in the past. That is how most people learned history by learning the stories of the past told by the griots. That was called oral history brcause it was a spoken record of the past.
This meant that the griots took records on things they did in that past that is is they even went or took part of that past event that was important or they recorded stories sbout the past they heard or that happened when they were alive. This was possible since they were already a little old, since they were the oldest of most of Africa they were considered wise and people believed their stories.
There are so many things about fall that I love, Halloween, My mom's, brother's and dad's birthday, Thanksgiving and thanksgiving Break. One thing I like is Halloween, which just happened to be yesterday. I like that we get to dress-up for Halloween both at home and at school, how cool right. I also like that we get a lot of candy and we don't get a lot of homework so it is sure a good day.I also like that there are so many birthday parties in my family during the fall, so we gwt a lot of cake, and very good food!
There is also Thanksgiving! What I like is that we gwt to be in a big family reunion, and that we get to see each other finally after a long time. I also like it because we get a long Thanksgiving breack, in which we do not get homework and if we do we get whole days to do it. Also we get to do whatever we want, sleep late, wakeup late and so on.
