Crazed Emperor

The First Emperor of China

 
 
 
 At about 210 B.C a emperor ruled over China. He had gotten the power because of his father. He was only 13 when he ruled. China won wars against their biggest rivals when he ruled, but that doesn't make him a good emperor. When he died, he made his servants drink a special poison that would make them unconscious and they were buried alive. Before he killed his servants, they made a army out of clay with over 7,000 soldiers to protect him in his afterlife. They were restored in 1974 and put in National Geographic museum. These sculptures were created by about 700,000 people!
 
 
 
 
 

My Opinion

I would not want to live during the time period of this crazed emperor. According to the, " Times for kids" article, he punished people by torturing them, killing them, or making them his servants. He also spent lots of money wastefully. For example, he spent lots of money on his grave.

  1. I liked how you gave a lot of information, but you might want to add another picture or video to make it more interesting. In your explore section add a question for the reader to answer, that way it will almost force them to comment. Great writing though!
