The Emperor Returns

Introduction

 Have you ever heard of the first emperor of China? If not here's some information about him. He came into power in 246 BC when he was 13 years old. Spent most of his time of his ruling years what is mostly now China. He had an army of more than 7,000 clay soldiers  to protect his tomb. He was greedy and did not respect anybody. His name is Ch’in Shih Huang Ti. He got another emperor for him after he died.

My Opinion

   In my opinion the emperor is a mean and bad emperor because in the video “  The Terra-Cotta Warriors” it says that “ The emperor massacred the army of six states.” Also, in the article " Digging Up the Past " it says that he "Forced 700,000 laborer a to work on his elaborate tomb. Also, In the video "The Terra-Cotta Warriors" it says that "He subjected his people to high taxation." This shows that just because he is an emperor it does not mean to be so cruel to people.
