Jeopardy!

Well this isn't really incorrect information, but in the "Awesome Post-Classical Era Jeopardy Game", the religion 100 point one is phased as a question, when it should be phrased as an answer. But the information ia still correct. In this game, I got most of the 500 and 400 point questions wrong, except for the one about manors because we played a game about them in class, so it helped me remember. I got most of the 100-300 point questions correct.

In the 3rd game, the economy 100 point question asked what were two places India traded with,and all it said was the subcontinent and the ocean to the south. Not only did they not specify, but India also traded with other places such as China and Africa. They also asked "It takes 2 points to feed these", and the answer was 20 serfs. As creative as this question was, it was irrelevant to the test. In this game, I got a lot more questions right, probably because I had just done the previous game and many of the questions were similar.

In the last game, the first question for Chapter 13 simply says "The Byzantine Empire". There are many possible answers because it is so vague, but the answer talks of the rulers of the empire. If that was what they were looking for, they should have specified. This was simlar to the question that just said "Muhammed", and did not specify what kind of answer they wanted. This again happens with their question "What is King Harsha" and "What ia the caste system". They do not specify what the response should be. Again, this happens in the 300 point Chapter 16 question. Not only that, but it answers the question with another question.

Benedict's Rule

4) These monasteries could be useful because of their rigidity towards worshiping God. People who are worried about going to Hell could follow these rules, therefore the monasteries reduce the amount of crime because criminals would be focusing on these rules in the monasteries. Additionally, these monasteries would be home to genuinely good people, who would probably be willing to do things such as shelter the homeless and feed the poor at these monasteries.

5) Thia tells us that economic times may not have been the greatest, since it warns against stealing. Additionally, there was clearly a large lower class, since it talks about donating to the poor. These rules mostly apply to the middle class. This also gives us insight into the way this class behaves because of the rules it presents to them.

Indian Poetry

These poems do represent Indian society well. The poems discuss Indian culture and religious beliefs. One poem describes the caste system well. Another discusses India's polytheistic view of gods being everywhere and everpresent. I do like these poems; they are very calm and serene, and it gives them a nice tone.
