Invention
   
    The Great Wall was invented in China during the Qin dynasty.  the Great Wall is a huge wall that covers some parts of China.  The Great Wall is used to block invaders from coming in and to stop citizens from leaving.  Qin’s citizens helped make the Great Wall.

    China developed the Great Wall first.  The Great Wall was made in the early 200 B.C.E.  Qin was the one to make the plan of the making of the Great Wall.    No other  country copied the Great Wall or made something like it.

    The Great Wall was a huge boost in the protection.  It blocks invaders from coming in.  It  is still there today.  It is mostly used for tourists.  The Great Wall is also one of the biggest attractions.  The Great Wall like a monument.

The Qin Dynasty covers all of China.  Through the years of the dynasty  Qin has  taken more land that eventually turned into all of China.  Through out all the years before China has been split up and was not called China.  The sections were ruled by different emperor.  In addition he started to make the Great wall.  It borders some of China.

Editorial                                    Stop killing, and Stop the Great Wall

Wall should be stopped and should have never been built.  The Great Wall is like a punishment.  Once you work there you never come back.  Thousands of people are working on it.  Some people want to have it but others don’t. A lot of people are dieing each day and there is nothing we can do to stop it.  Also, Families are getting ripped apart and losing the people they love.  The families don’t even know if they are alive when the men work on the Great Wall.  Second of all Their are harsh conditions and bad weather.  When there is harsh conditions and bad weather it mean shorter life when hard labor.  The building of the Great wall is very deadly.  There fore we should not continue building the Great Wall.

           Some people also disagree.  People could say that they diserve to die.  Because they slack on their work.  Maybe that’s the way people live.  “An eye for an eye.”   While others might say that it will boost our protection and people want that don’t they?  The people who want the great wall to progress are the wrong thing to do.

Q:  How did your childhood affect your adulthood?

A:  I learned respect and that you can’t always take the easy things in life.  Like when i got asked to either be a political leader and have an easy life or have it easy in life but not do anything and no respect from Qin.  That’s what affected me.  

Q:  Were you happy with that decision or not?  If not why?

A:  not at first but when I got used to it then I got to like it.  A jobs a job but i just have one of the highest ranked jobs.  So i felt grateful about the job opportunity and never looked back.

Q: How much stress did you have to go to for this job?

A:  It depends on what i am doing.  If it’s a busy day then yes i am stressed and worried that I will mess up.  But I still like the job.

Q:  What inspires you to keep going?

A:  I think That the ranking system inspires me.  If I was not a high rank then I would have no motivation at all.  But since I have a high rank I am motivated.

Q:  Do you want to do this job until you die?

A:  No,  I will work until I can’t anymore.  I will stop working when I get too old.  But i will not stop working anytime soon.
