Today, everyone’s speech/presentaion was terrific. I think my speech was fine and my mom and I had to spend the night making the custome. Everyone’s opening was excellent. Everone’s custome were great and some were funny especially Nick’s wig and his custome looked like ancient Rome armor. Some people’s topc is about the dynasties, pharows, and anicient gods. I had a chance to listen to everyone’s speech but I am only going to put some of them. Set was a evil god and he fought with his own brother for 48 years until Osiris died. Ramsas was a great pharow and a great commander. He led his army almost half of Egypt and he had about 20 wifes and 100 children WOW!

What would you change to improve your speech/presentation if you were to do the assignment again?

I would really like to change my opening (introduction) becaue it sounded completely common. I would also like to change the ending by putting some details like: Beware, I am powerful enough to kill you all therefore I am the god of dead!

Anubis

Hello. I am one of the most powerful gods, who mummified the great Pharos. My name is Anubis. My father has passed down my job. My job is related to anything with death. Every place in Egypt honors and worships me and needs me. I was worshiped for more than 4000 years. Cynopolis is my cult center.

You might know my job. I am the god of mummification, lord of the dead and the underworld, and the guard of cemetery and famous mummies. I have other names because of my jobs: Anpu, Inpum, Ienpw, and Imeat.

I started in the fields of Egypt where I was born. My mother is Nepthys. My father is either Set or Osiris. People say my father is mostly Set because he would need darkness of night to take him to the world of the dead.  But my job was same as Osiris so I believe my father is Osiris.

I have the body of a human but a head of a dog. My head is black because it represents the position of dead. I wear bracelets in my wrist and upper arms. I wear a necklace and a cloth that wraps my legs. The most important thing is the long stick that represents.

People of Egypt use my skills in religious events. People makes me into statues and puts me in the city entrance and the entrance to the mummy to fight off evil spirits. That’s how much I am needed for protection.

What new Information has emerged?

The Global Warming alert is getting worse. Scientists did lots of research and made a shocking discovery. The report said that 30 percent of the world’s coastlines could be lost by 2080. In Mexico City, scientists think that global warming could destroy the Brazilian rain forest up to 30 percent and by 2080, ocean levels are rising up to 4.3 feet. By 2080, tens and hundreds millions of people could suffer from this situation.

What did you find interesting about this topic?

I was both shocked and interested (scared) that Global Warming is getting worse than I thought. In 73 years, millions of people suffering from hunger, thirst, weather, this is getting really bad. Lots of people are already suffering painfully from other countries but by 2080, it is going to kill them.

What did you think about the initial blog posting?

I liked how Willemijin commented about the how she is going to stop this situation by putting up posters and recycling things. She had good pictures, and I liked how she showed that in which country, the temperature is rising (the second picture). She had posted up a very informational article that we all have to be aware and that helps us to do something to prevent Global Warming. She just has a few mistakes and she did a very good job on her presentation.
