Soup Kitchen!
2 hours. Today we worked from 11:00A.M to about 1:00P.M. The supervisor wanted us take a survey of the ages and genders of the people extricating themselves from the sidewalk onto the new premises, being the soup kitchen. According to the survey, people of all ages enjoy coming to the soup kitchen. There was about 111 people. Without the soup kitchen the jobless wouldn't eat.

Persians
The Manner of the Kings and the Rubaiyat demonstrate how the Persians are one of the most spiritual people. The Persians live by the Qur'an and worship their great teacher Allah; consequently, they have good morals, since the Qur’an teaches them to follow the golden rule. In addition, the poems also show how the Persians live their life to the fullest and believe in an afterlife. "The Moving Finger writes: and, having writ, Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit Shall lure it back to cancel half a Line, Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it."

Floods
The flood in the bible and Gilgamesh's Epic have many similarities and differences. In the bible, god flooded the earth to teach a lesson and wash away the bad, but the gods in Gilgamesh's Epic flood the earth out of anger. Both stories mentioned a white dove leaving and not returning. The gods in both stories chose certain people to build an ark to survive the flood. But the gods in Gilgamesh didn't have the chosen person take two of each animal in the ark. It's basically the same flood but an almost completely different story.
