Iron was found in Africa and got Africa to be very famous for its iron. Iron was used for many things for example for weapons and pots or to put in food. People still use iron these days. One of the poeple that use them these days is my mom she cooks wtih iron pots and pans. Iron was then getting very famous in Africa. The this group called the Nok then invented the gardening tool we still use today the hoe. I really don`t know why people use that word as a bad word but now I know what the word acctually means. The hoe is used to help with gardening back when they had a hard time with there gardening. Iron was useful back then in Africa bacuse it was used for many things. Like the hoe and for weapons and they also they mainly used it to make weapons which is what made Africa so powerful.

What would  choose for the four regions in the dessert. There is acctually I think five regions I would like to live in that are in Africa. The one I would choose to live at is in the Sahara. There  is lots of trees scattered around the dry landscape. It would be a little hard but it would be fun. Another thing I would choose to live is at the rainforest because it is filled with the wonderful animals for example the gorillas and the lots of different kind of animals. There is only some I would love to live at because all the other places like the dessert I don't think that I will be able to survive I drink lots of water here in Fresno, so I don't think I'm going to survive in a dessert.
 
Today I`m going to write about the five pillars of Islam. The five pillars of Islam are five things muslims have to do. The first pillar is to sat there is no god but god and Muhammad is his prophet. The second pillar is pray five times a day. The third pillar is to give to the poor and needy. The fourth pillar is to fast on the day of Ramadan. The fifth and final pillar of Islam is to travel to Mecca at least once on a Hajj. Probably the most difficult pillar is he fifth pillar because you have to travel all the way to Mecca. I also think its the hardest because you have to  be a Muslim to enter. Thats what I think is the hardest pillar of them all.
 
 It was a very sunny day and I was walking down the dirt road when I saw my uncle on a camal. He asked me if I would like to join him in his caravan through the dessert. My uncle told me I would first have to ask my parent if I could go. Well they told me it was my decision as I expected they would say. Well it was hard to make a decision. I mean I like the hot weather in the summer but I didn`t think I would acctually survive out there. All I told them was that I needed more time to think about it. They understood what I was trying to say.
The day my uncle was leaving to the dessert I made my decision to tag along with them.My uncle was happy to have me join him. It was extremely hot in the dessert but I still had a great time with my uncle in the dessert. He thought so too. but I did have a great time with him in the dessert. It was a little hot. Oh who am I kidding it was extremely hot but I didn`t care.
 
Last Friday, in my classroom we had a simulation about the fall of Rome and I was just wondering. If I could of had a different role in the simulation I would pick being a Roman.  And encase  your wondering what a simulation is it`s when you  pretend to go to the past as if you were in the past. Well we did a simulation of when the Romans were the biggest empire in the world. If I could of chose what role I could of been in I would choose to be a Roman. Because the Romans were so rich and so well protected. Not exactly 100 percent protected after the Barbarians attacked there lovely city.
Back then when the Romans were the biggest empire on earth they were very rich as you already know. But they were also very greedy.Just as people are today.Still I would love to be one of the Romans. Mostly they didn`t get to do anything which was so not fair.
 
     September is a day no one will ever forget. My teachers and my mom had different stories about what they did on that day. My English teacher told me her story. She told me what she was doing at that exact moment when she started. Her story started off in the morning when she was listing to the news. Mrs.Baird  my English teacher, said that she was a elementary teacher when that happened. I also asked my mom what was her experience about September 11th. Everyone has a different view of how terrible that day was. Even though I wasn`t exactly knowing what was going on I still think that was a very, very terrible day for me and everyone else.
 
    Who I think is going to be the president is maybe Obama. He is definetely going to win the election. When I was in third grade I watched when they introduced Obama to I was amased to see the very first African american to be president. He has done so much to this country that I think he is going to win. Last night I was watching Obama`s wife talking about how great Obama is and that he should be voted for president. And how he works so hard every night to help people from what they are going through. He is a very great guy you should vote for him. I hope you vote for him he sounds and is a great guy. I think he is going to make a big difference iv this country and he already has. If my mom was able to vote I would beg her to vote for him. Actually  I don`t have to beg her she would also like to have Obama to be president.
 
    Guess what today is its core concentration day. Today I will be writing about Muhammad. Well  Muhammad is a person who lived in Mecca. He grew up being very religious. Then one day He was praying in a cave and an angel came and told him  to recite. He immediately told his wife what had happened. She instead of thinking her husband was crazy she encouraged him to tell people that he was chosen to hear what the angel tells him. But some of the rich Arabians did`t  agree with Muhammad. One day they kicked out of town. Muhammad left with his family to a place called Medina. Medina is a town named  after Muhammad. But as he left his religion grew stronger. He came back to Mecca one day because the people gave up trying to keep him out of town.
