I personally think that the most important Chinese Achievement is paper money. They say that paper money can fly away very easily, I don't know about you, but I rather have paper money than copper and iron money. Let's say that 200 Renminbi ( Chinese Currency ) flies away. I rather have 200 Renminbi fly away then carry copper and iron. If a poor person carries money around and he thinks it is heavy. If a rich person carries money around it would be like 20 times heavier. I don't know about you, but I don't want neck and back problems. I rather have 200 Renminbi fly away ( equivalent to about 20 dollars ) than having neck problems all my life. 

The second most important achievement I personally think is woodblock printing. For example, most priests spent their entire life making one copy of the bible. With woodblock printing they were able to print a lot faster, all they had to do was carve out blocks one time, and just plug them in. I would not want to spend my entire life writing one copy of the bible. That would be very painful. Imagine, when you wake up you start duplicating what the bible says, and you do it all day long for your entire life. I would never ever want to do that.

There are many things I am thankful for. One of the main things I am thankful for is what I have. When my sister, my mom, and I go to church, we half to pass through a bad neighborhood. Sometimes there are people on the floor asking for money.I am not going to lie to you and say that I don't laugh sometimes. I do laugh sometimes, but when I laugh; my mom tells me not to laugh. She tells me that it is not there fault that in their previous life that they did sins, but that is how they are punished for their sins and crimes in their previous lives. My mom always tells me to be thankful for what I have. We are fortunate enough to live in houses while they sleep on the sidewalk. To some, this thought may sound funny, but it is not. If you are one of those people who think that this is funny, than I dare you to sleep on the sidewalk. I dare you to wear the same clothes for your entire life. I dare you to look through the trash can for food. If you think that anything I have said is funny, you are not thankful for what God has given. I am thankful for what God has given us. I am thank

Griots remembered all of the history. There was no written history, so the griots remembered all of the history. There was no written history. Everything we know about West Africa, comes from griots. Chances are, that the griots exaggerated a lot. Why would a king need 6,000 slaves, and only 500 slaves that carried gold. Most likely, the griots had made a major mistake. 

I'm not saying that the griots were wrong all the time. Without them, we would have no information about them. We would never have known about the Songhai, Mail, and Ghana Empire. These three empires, made a lot of contributions. If the griots didn't record the history, we would not know how Cairo got so much gold; gold was worth almost nothing for 12 years. We would never have been able to figure that out how gold had lost its valuable.

I think the best part about fall is the weather. The weather is not too cold, and it is not hot. It is the transition between summer and winter. In the summer, It is always really warm. In the winter, it is really cold, and i have to carry a jacket all day long. In the fall it is cool; no need for jackets, and the weather stays preety constant. I think the best part of fall is the weather.
