Class on 1/30

Class on 1/30


            Today in Mr. Schick’s class we started off, by in the very beginning of class we have a lock down drill which lasted a pretty long time. We probably had about thirty minutes of class left when the lock down was over. Then when we came back into the classroom, Phil and Jevan reviewed what we had already learned with the class. It was pretty funny actually. When Mr. Schick started teaching again we learned about Hammurabi’s code. The first one was “an eye for an eye” which is nothing like today’s life.  The second law of Hammurabi is if a man marry a woman and she bear him no sons; if then this woman die, if the "purchase price" which he had paid into the house of his father-in-law is repaid to him, her husband shall have no claim upon the dowry of this woman; it belongs to her father's house which doesn't have much relevance for today. The third is that is a son strikes his father then his hand must be cut off immediately, which today would be abuse and the person would go to jail.
