Rome and China were some of the oldest and most well-known countries in the ancient world. The Han dynasty was a long-lasting dynasty in China's history, and the Roman Empire had a long and strong rule. Like the rules of these empires, the falls of these empires were very impressive.

With many powerful leaders came many different political styles, ideas, and philosophies ranging from the democracy we have in America today to power driven tyrants consumed by their greed for new land and more cities to rule.

Emperor Penguins are my favorite animals to this day. This is because in 2nd grade my teacher made us write essays on animals from Antarctica such as Polar Bears and Sea Lions.
