Warriors #1 into the wild

My favorite series of books is warriors. It's about four clans of cats.  A clan of cats is a group of cats that live together and do different roles.  There many roles in the clan: apprentice, warriors, deputy, elders, and the leader.  Apprentices hunt for the clan.  Warriors fight for the clan.  Elders raise the kittens.  The Leader leads the cats and the deputy is a warrior who is second in command to the leader.  All leaders have star as their last name and all the apprentices have paw.

Into the Wild, the first book, there are four clans.  Shadow clan, the strongest clan. They don't care about what they eat, they eat whatever they can find.  River clan, invades the thunder clan the most.  There is also the Wind clan, who was driven out of their territory by Shadow clan.  And finally Thunder clan, the main character's clan.

The book revolves around the Shadow clan demanding the right to hunt in every other clans territory.  The River clan says OK, but the Thunder clan refuses.  A war breaks out between the two clans.  Fire Paw the main character leads Thunder clan in the battle against the Shadow clan.  Fire Paw begins as an apprentice, his mentor is Blue Star, the leader of the clan.  Fire Paw's best friend is Gray Paw, his mentor is Lion Heart, who dies in battle.  His other friend is Raven Paw, is mentored by Tiger Claw who betrays the clan and kills the old deputy Red tail.

That is the end of the blog.

Hammurabi's laws

Ever since the creation of the city Mesopotamia,  The place was ruled by an Assyrian named Hammurabi, the sixth Amorite king. He made a lot of laws, which many believed was fair. Anyway, now on to the laws,(There is 282 in total).

1. If a carpenter builds a house that is not sturdy and falls down on the owner, he shall be put to death.
2. If a slave says to his master, "You are not my master!" He shall have his ears cut off.
3. If a Son strikes his father, his hands shall be cut off.
4. If a slave attempts to escape and is caught, whoever caught and returned him shall receive a shekel.
5. If someone steals somebody else's child, he shall be put to death
6. If someone stabs out someone else's eye, that person shall also have his eye gouged out.
7. If somebody knocks out someone else's tooth, the same will happen to that person.
8. If someone is caught stealing he shall be executed.

I think that is enough, I think these laws are not good. Because instead of killing someone all because of a robbery, today's punishments is just putting him in jail.

Humans and their Stages.

Humans have evolved their height, their talents, and the way the've looked like for many, many, millennia. The first human to ever walk the earth lived in Africa, A hominid named Australopithecus/Lucy. It was only 3 ft tall, and died shortly after she was brought to earth. In 1974 Dr. Donald Johansen discovered her skeleton, and Johansen was the one who called the skeleton Lucy, because he was listening to a song With the name Lucy involved, plus Johansen discovered she was a female, one that ,lived 3 million years back. Now, the next human species ever found, was a bit taller. Not only were bones of humans found, but even art! In 1940, a group of mexican boys found a cave with a strange painting of bison, also, there was this one that had a very detailed bison, and a stickman that looked like a bipedal bird. It was probably art for a special event, or a tragic story, there were art of red handprints, similar to the ways of showing how somebody dies in one of crug's stories from "The Croods" A movie that will be released many years from now. Anyway, back to fossils, this fossil was found with tools. A human that was smarter, and bigger than Lucy. He was known as the Homo halibis. A human that used stone tools. Then, another one was called the Homo Erectus. Very big guy, he wielded very complex tools, like heavy stone axes, it was easy to get food. He was also found with others, which were the same species. So there is a theory that they travelled in groups, making getting food easier. Also, he was the first to use fire. Which made it easier to avoid disease, and eating meat. Soon on, Otzi was found in 1991. He was frozen and had an arrow sticking out of him. So he may have fought another tribe before he died. It was proven he lived in the ice age because he was more dressed than the other fossils before him. And the final stage is the Homo sapien sapien. The modern humans. Us.

Humans and the way they changed.

Humans have been living around, soon after the day the dinosaurs died out. The first human was a female, a belief is that this one was the reason humans and apes are related. Its name was Lucy, nicknamed by a scientist, because he was constantly listening to a song by the Beatles, a song named "Lucy in the sky with diamonds.". An unusual fact is, this fossil was only 3 feet high. But then, the next fossil was four feet high. This fossil, was believed to already evolved to have 2 free hands, letting it be able to  hold its young, find food and take it home easily, and defend itself without dropping its food. But then, the third one travelled in groups. Letting hunting down animals become easier. They also made tools out of stone. eventually, the ice age came. Humans started making warmer clothes out of animal hide, they moved to wearing leather shoes, and also, we should know about Ozti. The ice man. He was found in 1991 in an icy mountain, frozen solid. We believe he may have fought another tribe before he died, an arrow was seen sticking out of his shoulder. In fact, we found out he lived during the ice age because of his skin, and clothes. In fact, we have even seen art in caves that are still here today. This sort of art was found in mexico in the 1940s. By some boys. People were still shorter back then in WWII. If you go into a tank, the cabin is actually kind of narrow. So if you ask me, I guess people are going to be REALLY tall in the future.
