ROME
I learned this: That the Holy Roman Empire was called that because the emperors believed they gained their powers from being descended from Roman emperors. That the Byzantine Empire was also called the East Roman Empire, and when people say "the fall of rome," they mean the fall of the Western Roman Empire.
ESSAY 1
ReplyDeleteThesis: The Han Dynasty and Romans both hold the technology of agriculture and architecture in high esteem, yet have differing opinions on the dignity of occupations based on technology.
Paragraph 1: Han thinks that everybody should have access to the finest tools, and that their invention is nearly divine. Romans think that tools are not useful unless they create majestic works of art, otherwise the common artisan is undignified.
Paragraph 2: The most impressive technology in both cultures is that for architecture or agriculture.
(Also the document I would like to see for essay one is the opinion of a patrician that was not an official or that of a plebian)
ReplyDeletethe last essay is super hard bruh but this is the best I can do:
Thesis: The Silk Road has always been a source of the exchange of ideas, especially religion, but in one instance, travel of the roads slowed because of its gradual spread of the Black Death.
Paragraph 1: Religions like Buddhism, Christianity, and Islam spread over the Silk Roads. The Silk Roads have always facilitated exchange of religion.
Paragraph 2: No majorly destructive diseases were spread over the silk road until the black death. The black death came in three waves, each worse than the last, until it caused less people to travel the silk road until instances of the black death tapered off.
