Qin Shinhuang

Mao Zedog
Qin Shinhaung
I have recently read a few books about Qin Shinhuang, who I think compared to Mao was a little bit the same, but smarter. Both of the them were afraid they wouldn't be the smartest and so both of them destroyed all the books. Qin destroyed all the books except the ones on farming and medicine.  I think that Shin was a lot smarter to not destroy everything, including information that people need. they were in different time periods and in Mao's place it mattered a lot more to the people than it did to the people of Qin, because of the time. It makes me wonder why they didn't just try to gain more knowledge, and help their people with that knowledge. That is what I would of done. If I were in charge, I'd be happy to have intelligent people to help lead and educate everyone, so that we could become a strong kingdom together as a whole.

  1. Good, Ruby. I like how you thought of a comparison between Mao and Emperor Qin. And your report of Half Spoon of Rice was very good. Your writing is getting better and better, and you have a lot of good ideas.
