1.) The Black Death is believed to have been started by fleas from rodents and filth. The spread got people to think that they were going to die, and people got crazy. This also caused starvation for some people, because it was a harsh winter, and the farmer might be dead from the Black Death.,
2.) The people with the Black Death were disgusting and people had bumps, vomited, and smelt like vomit. People had bumps on their groin and neck. They had a huge fever and vomited blood.
3.) If a plague like the Black Death were to happen today, it definitely, wouldn't be good. People would start acting crazy, and this worst part is that none would even expect it. People would turn to God and pray a lot, while other would steal and just wait for death. I really don't know what it would be like, because I can't even imagine it, but I'm sure some scientist would try to figure out the cause to the overwhelming plague. Others would probably commit suicide, because they just can't wait for death to come they no it will come.The Black Death took out over half the population of Europe, so it would definitely be a very hard situation to handle.

West Civ. Final Exam Question 6
1. http://richardthelionheartedcrusade.wikispaces.com/
2. Dear Editors:
Richard has no idea what he is talking about. He is so young like teenager and nothing compared my experience in war. Jerusalem is rightfully ours, and means more to us then the Christians. after all, this is where the prophet Mohammed ascended into heaven. i would like to see him try to take over Jerusalem from me, he doesn't know what he is getting him self into to. this would only be a loss for him and not me.
If Richard even sets foot on my turf, I will show no mercy and just obliterate him into dust. The slogan and picture has no effort what so ever, and is a disgrace to the internet. Jerusalem is well to fortified and when Richard is gone his brother will take. The Third Crusade has no meaning and no benefits.

West Civ. Final Exam Question 5
The Ancient Roman Empire is compared to the United States today often. However people need to understand that they are nothing a like. Sure we have democracy just like the Romans, but today ours is a lot more advanced and organized. The Ancient Roman Empire was the best in its day, and now the U.S is best in its day. It is still not fair to say that the United States is the modern day equivalent of the Roman Empire.
First, in the front page of "The Courier Journal"http://www.newseum.org/todaysfrontpages/hr.asp?fpVname=KY_CJ&ref_pge= it has a section about the economy, and at the same time, the Romans had an economy. The Romans had tax collectors and jobs. Today, we have a lot more industrial jobs then agricultural like the Romans. Also today we have a lot more technology which allows more jobs and trade. Today in the U.S, we also have a toil more advanced currency system that allows the economy to change sometimes. (Courier Journal 2011) Not only was the economy different, but the architecture is also different in some ways.
Sure we still have bricks, cement, and columns from the Romans, but we also have a lot more materials due technology and discoveries. In the front page of the "West Central Tribune" has something about elevators.

West Civ. Final Exam Question 4
http://www.nytimes.com/2001/09/12/us/a-day-of-terror-the-response-rescue-workers-rush-in-and-many-do-not-return.html?ref=sept112001 This article was about the rescue workers who went and didn't return. This article is really specific and tells better information. This is more like Thucydides because he was very specific in a lot of his writings. Thucydides found better information that people could rely on ,and put the straight up facts. This allowed people to really understand the gists of the stories and let people know what was actually going on.

3.) It has been thirty ears since the collapse of the Agricultural Revolution. People are turning into cannibals and are doing what ever it takes just to let themselves survive. New York is now no longer a city; the ports were destroyed and towers fell. There is an approximate of only a billion people left on earth. There is no trade anymore, and no more cities. Life is not an option without meat. All we have are a few animals to feed of of. To me, my family aren't even the people I saw when I was born.
People have no homes and live on the street. We live in our own filth and have no bed. when historians said life would progress, I didn't know progression was like this. The United States was last to fall, because everybody coming to the U.S to leave a better life. All the people turned crazy and turned against the government. There is no government anymore, and no organization.
