Q.8 I think the author had to do research about Ethiopia's history from the earliest man to the most modern times (which is today). I think it must have taken a loooong time to research all that.

____________________________

Nov. 30

Q.6 Yes, they're alike because they both have pictures with a description below of what it is. The difference is that the book's topics are different. The one not about Science (I think), because it was interesting.

Nov 24, 2015

1. I enjoy learning about folktales there was a folktale that there that 3 travellers who were Christian Ate there donkey because they were so hungry.

2. That those people were christian and did what they were not supposed to do.

I like Football...!!!!!

Why is there so many people who walk across the street???

Why is the traditional food injera?

Why is there so many dogs.

Is there a national animal in Ethiopia?

Is there a traditional dance in Ethiopia

Italy tried to colonize Ethiopia but failed but before said that they did.

Today I read folktales Like the greedy hyenas Who would not give the female food because they were to greedy and they starved to death.

Also The queen who got her head chopped off because the king said whoever walked out the door was executed.

There was a story where gods prayer came true

I think if this was written 10 or 12 year ago it would have different words and it would not have mentioned in a story that they killed the queen by accident.

I learned that on the Ethiopian easter you eat doro wat which is chicken stew . something in common with The Ethiopian easter and the western easter or wherever you are it is a christian holiday.

Their is a holiday in Ethiopia called timket they celebrate it because it was the day that Jesus was cruciefied

I Like facts about old history war and old history.

I found out that in gonder there was a castle in gonder that kept getting bigger because the son wanted a part to them self.

I found out that the Italians said that they defeated Ethiopia in war but they really did not. they said it because They did not want there country down.
