2.Tao tells Volt that he wants to hunt alone

3.If I were in Volt's perspective I would say,You need to bring the clan food.I would tell him,We can't hunt with a wolf because it has an evil spirit.I would tell him,You are not suppose to betray the clan.

I would imagine a family illegaly cross the border.To have a better life and job.They would have to break the rules but it is for the best

I think the person should be able to come to the United States.So they can have a better life then from whatever country they came from.They should be able to come to the U.S. because it is rich and powerful and has lots of jobs and houses.

1.The reason I think graybeard changed his mind is because he felt bad for Tao that he isn't able to paint because it is taboo and graybeard understands how much Tao likes painting.

2.This tells me about him is that he understands Tao why he likes to paint because Graybeard also paints and likes to.

1.Yes I do think Graybeard is a good teacher.I think he is a good because he has experience in painting so it is easy to show how to paint.

2.I would have liked to get taught by him if he knew the subject well.I would because he knows what he is talking about and is patient.

Emergency Room

A city by the name of Mohenjodaro was built on the banks of a river that was named the Indus River. From the ruins that we have found we suspect that this city was probably carefully planned. In the west of the city, the citadel rose up on a platform of mud and brick. Below the citadel, there were nine streets that divided the lower city into blocks. The streets were lined up with houses and workshops made of mud bricks. Mohenjodaro was a large city. At one point of time as many as 50,000 people may have lived there. A great mystery remains. What happened to this civilization? No one knows what happened to this civilization for sure. After about 1900 B.C.E., the great city had disappeared. In the great city of Mohenjodaro most people lived in the lower city. The houses in which they lived in were made of mud brick. Their houses would have from one to twelve rooms. The outer walls had no windows. In their homes they had a well that provided fresh water. In their restrooms they had drainage. In the houses they had garbage chutes. The inner courtyard was the center of family life and there was a balcony that overlooked it. One great achievement of Mohenjodaro was its sewer system. The drains were laid under the streets. The workers could get into the drains. This sewer system let them have bathrooms in both rich and poor households. Dirty, used water and waste flowed in channels along the streets. All the sewage then emptied in the Indus River. In Mohenjodaro there were deep wells made of brick that were located throughout the city. Two thousand years later the world would see another system like it in Ancient Rome. A great feature of Mohenjodaro citadel was The Great Bath. The Great Bath was made of waterproof brick. It measured 39 feet long and 8 feet deep. There were small dressing rooms at the bath.
