I think that I was successful in many ways as a friend and a team member. I think that in Hog Call that I was a leader because I helped come up with our idea to stand in a line and then we could find our partners. It is very important to be not only a team member but a friend. If you are not a friend to someone then you could hurt them, if you yell at them that is not being a friend. I think our advisory worked really well together and we listened to everyone’s ideas, and even if we didn’t agree with someone’s idea then we would still hear them out. I think the Charger Trail Challenges were really helpful and fun for our advisory and it was really fun and helpful for me.

Marriage
- The Ancient Egyptians usually married someone in their social class or in their extended family. They got to choose who they got to marry.
- There was no formal legal or religious marriage ceremony but often a scribe would draw a contract showing that they were married.
- A marriage for the Ancient Egyptians was when a man and a woman set up a household together; there was no wedding.
- Divorce was legal and it happened when couples who lived together now wanted to separate. However, they were allowed to remarry.
- The Egyptians were married at a very young age, usually around 12 for girls and 14 for boys.
Women’s Social Structure
- A women’s social position depended on her father’s and then her husband’s social position.
- Women in the Upper Class were usually wives of the nobility and the important government officials. They were responsible for running their house, raising their children and overseeing the servants. Those women did no manual work.
- The Lower Class women were also responsible for raising their children but they were expected to cook, clean and make their family’s clothes. In busy seasons they had to work in the fields with their husbands
Women’s Rights

My Favorite Character From Seedfolks
My favorite character is Sam. I admire him because he is always smiling and he is always trying to help people. I think it is very nice of him to hire someone to help him plant his garden because he is paying him and most people wouldn’t. He is always friendly to people, people not his race. I like the things that he notices, for example at the end of his chapter he stated ‘From Paradise, the garden was turning back into Cleveland.’ He said that when all of the people making gardens placed fences around their gardens instead of the true purpose which is to come together and get along because of their gardens.
Why I Want to Visit South Africa
I would like to go to South Africa for many reasons. One reason I would like to go there is because my dad was born and raised there. Everyone on my dad’s side of the family has lived there, my grandma, my two aunts, my uncle and my dad. I’ve heard that it is extremely luxurious, and the picture above proves it. There is a lot of wildlife in South Africa that is not commonly found in the United States like zebras, lions and much more. I’ve heard great things about South Africa like the beautiful mountains, cities and beaches. That is why I would like to go to South Africa.
