Dear Classmates,
You should know that I am right and Gilgamesh is wrong. Egypt is
better than Mesopotamia. I know this because Mesopotamia is old and
boring. Why else would it be called Mess-opotamia? I will explain that
Egypt has nicer places to live, more resources, better clothes and
makes better use of water.
First off, Egypt is better because our houses are nicer.
Mesopotamia houses are made out of reeds while ours are made out of 1
real bricks so the houses in Egypt the houses will not catch fire as
easily. Plus my mom said that their houses are small.
The second reason Egypt is better is that we have more
resources. Mesopotamia probably did not have anything and we have all a)
kinds of resources.
The third reason I like my land is our clothes are so hip. A study
of ancient people showed that 3 out of 4 people liked Egyptian clothes
better than Mesopotamian clothes. Plus my outfit is more colorful than
Gilgamesh’s robe.
The final reason that we are better is that we only have one river 4
but we know how to use it more efficiently than Mesopotamia, I bet
our canals have faster currents.
Now you see that the place I am from and love very much is
better than Mesopotamia, I miss Egypt so much.
