The First Emperor

INTRODUCTION

   
               Long ago an ancient Chinise emperor was born in Xi'an China.  He was the first emperor and he was only 13 years old. He was able to create amazing feats but he was ruthless to all of his helpful people. In the website history.com it states ''He created the great wall of China and a lot of people died.''. This means that he is determined and has a lot of success but amongst all his character traits he is cold- hearted and shows no mercy even to his troops and people. In our class blog video it stated ''He created the teracata army with more than 7,000 warriors, archers, calbory, chariotiers, and foot             

MY OPINION

                              According to the information given to me I don't like the emperor. He stabbed his people in the back like a phony. In the article Time For Kids it states ''Qin Shihuang punished his people harshly.'' He punished them just because they made a mistake or didn't obey him. I wouldn't blame them for not obeying him because of his mean laws. Also according to our class blog video he buried his people alive to accompany him in the afterlife.'' Not also is he a bad leader but he was a coward to be alone when he's dead. I always hate people who disrespect others like Qin Shihuang did. Another reason I hate him is because in our class blog video it stated ''When he died he made his wives drink poison to kill themselves.'' This shows me he doesn't care about anyone but himself and is really selfish that he made his people suffer for him.

TOP 10 FACTS OF TERRACOTTA ARMY


10. An army of 8,000 clay soldiers to accompany the emperor
9. Sculptures are over 2,200 years old
8. Discovered by local farmers while digging for water
7. Each face is unique
6. Height and uniform varies by rank
5. Over 650 horses are part of the army
4. They held real weapons
3. Over 700,000 people were employed to build tomb
2. The tomb had rivers
1. But the tomb hasn't been dug up yet

MY THOUGHTS

                 I think there should have been a another emperor instead of Qin Shihuang. If there was a new one a lot of people could've survive. Everyone would have not been forced into harsh labor and disrespectful punishments. But if there was a new emperor we probably would not have the Great Wall of China. I thought that he was a horrible leader and that it should never happen again that a mean emperor ever sows up again
