How did iron help West Africa? you may ask that. Well this is how. The people of Africa in the west dicovered iron and then they used it for them selves. They made iron tip arrows and spears. This made them better warriors and hunters. Because of mthis they were able to conquer a lot of land and be able to get food for thier comunitees. 

Besides their weapons and conquers. They were also able to get maore land with out fighting people. The iron helped them to cut down trees and make houses. This is one way they were able to expand in the hot desert with out killing or anything like that. They would bring water and grow gardens and then more plants would grow. So then the hot african world would have at least some trees and plant life. This would help them grow food through plants to keep cool and make their selves refreshed. These are the reasons why the iron dicovery helped the people of West Africa expand and help them survive.
 
The hardest region to live in would be the desert. The reason the desert would be the hardest is because there's no water, ther's no food, it only rains twice a year. And if it did rain it might be bad like there woulde be no way you could get the water without building a tobas or a some sort of resort or something. You would only be able to get some water if you came in prepared. Like if you were on a game show and they gave you equipment already.

Then there's the food. The only food that would be there is probally vegetables. Even those are hard to fing in the desert. Or you would eat a cactus or drink from a cactus. But you would want real food and protien or something.
 
If I were to change my rolll in the simulation in my core class I would be the romans. I would want to be the romans because you get to trade and try to protect Rome. But I would want to be them the most was because I wanted to know how it felt to be the romsns. I wanted to know how it felt when Rome fell and how the romans felt when it fell.
        I also wanted to know how they tried to defend Rome. But of course Rome didn't actually fall in twenty minutes or so. But I just wanted to know how it felt to be the romans when there city fell.

  If I lived in the old days where there were traders, and my uncle offered to let me come to join his carvan. Plus if I lived in the same village for my wholle life I would definatly join his caravan.I mean if I livede there my whole life, nothing happening, same old, same old. I would join. I would probally be sad because it's my home town. Plus my family. I would go because traders sort of have it easy. They go to a place and try to trade. And I would see alot of new things and meet new people.
                  I would miss my family and all my friends, but a chance to start a new begining. To have a new life and a fresh start. I might get homesick, but thats how things are and I would be with my uncle. he might not tell me to do things like go to sleep early or something that a parent might say to a kid my age. Also he might let me do secret stuff for him and run arens, and they might be fun. Like if I had to tell someone that he wont be where he would be for a couple of weeks and I had to travel across the Mediteranean Sea.
 
 I dont really know what happened during 911 because I was only like one. But I do know that alot of americans died that day and I do know that the twin towers fell.There were terrorists that stoal a plane and crashed into the buildings. this happened like three times. until finally the towers fell to the ground.But before that theere were people so desparate for air because of all the ash that they were hanging from the side of the building. In fact some people actually fell off the building as they were trying to get air.
    In the ash and rubble of the tower they found people and only a few survivors. While it was all happening there were some people, fire fighters in the building trying to help peolpe in the towers to get out safely. when it fell they had to find away out or like dig their way out. Or something like that. Now thats pretty much all I know about it.
 
Muhammad was a messanger from god. He started a religion called Islam. But he didnt start of like this he was a regular child. But both his parents died when he was very young. So then he was raised by his grandfather and then his uncle. When he was with his uncle he joined his caravan. He traveled to alot of places in the region. When he was old enough he owned the caravan. Well he didnt really own it. It was really owned by a wealthy woman. Later in the years they got married.
During Muhammad's growth a lot of people stopped their customs. When he was 40- years old he went in a cave to pray. Then an angel appeared and told  him to recite. He was confused and kept ths encounter a secret between him and his wife. Then in a coupl of years he started to tell other people and started a new relgion callled Islam.
 
I think the hardest pillar of islam for muslims to do is number three or four. I cant really remember. But the one im talking about is that you have to fast for a whole month. You have to eat when the sun is not in the sky. Then when the sun is up you cant eat for the whole day. The worst part abou this is that, well everything about this. The month is a special month in their religion. Its the month of, I forgot. But its a special month for them.

Then they have to wait for the day to be over for a whole month. I think the waiting is terrible. Your just sitting there waitng for sunset for about 11 hours or so. Then theres hunger going a whole month on like twelve pounds of  food. Or like two pounds or something.
 
One of the reasons Islam srpead is because of trade. Trade helpesd because traders spread the word of Islam. Then the people they traded for spread Islam around. Then the traders spread it and then the people they trded with spread it and it kept going an and on and on. Until most of the region were Islam. The traders also traded Islam items and goods. So then there came wars and battles going on between groups and then it kept spreading. But trade wasnt the only form of passing on Islam. There were some prophets who spoke in the streets and then the peoplle would tell it again. Then that would go and on.
