Today in class, I came in a couple minutes late, because I said the Pledge of Allegiance over the intercom this morning. Though I gave Mr. Schick a note saying I was late because of the Pledge, he still got on me for being late and for Veronica giving me that cookie. The cookie she gave me was very good by the way.
After that, we went to google and searched up the laws of Hammurabi's code. Then we began to discuss some of the laws that people chose to share with the class. We learned that Hammurabi's code was made before the Ten Commandments. We also learned that a majority of the laws we have today reflect off of the laws in Hammurabi's code, just not as harsh or as cruel a punishment. We also learned that back then the more well off people in society had lesser consequences if they did something wrong then the regular people.
