Paper Burning

                                                                 The Burying Of Scholars

  In 221 BC, there was an emperor in Japan named Qin who burned the scholars book and work. He later buried the scholars so they wouldn't be able to write the books anymore. In my opinion it's wrong to burn and bury books, work, and scholars.  Because of Emperor Qin, the history of culture and architecture of Japan is now lost due to the emperor.  The work is now lost forever and impossible to recover.  It is cruel to burns people's hard work and then just bury them so they can be silent and not fightback or say what the real history is.

    Nalanda was a university in India. It was one of the best university in the world, it attracted students from all places as far as Greece just to study. The library was full of ancient books from grammar, architecture, culture, to religion. Some books where the most important information about Buddhism, but they were destroyed by Bakhtiyar Khilji and his Muslim army.  They sacked the university in 1193. They burned so many books that the fire burned for about three months. The loss of the religious books ended Buddhism in India for hundreds of years.  It is not fair for a random person to just come in and destroy religious items while thinking they are superior.  They destroyed all of the religious text and lost all of the information and then losing the religion completely for hundreds of years.

    On March 26 a boy named Jaylen came to the school of Los Angeles Leadership Academy and talked about his hard time in school because he was bullied. He talked about his Tourette syndrome and how it made him do things by force. He needed to live with the fact he will be doing that for the rest of his life. He was tormented and mocked by several of his classmates. I learned that he struggled through his life. I discovered about the dreaded disease known as Tourette. Tourette affects your brain and makes you do random actions and random noises.

    I felt deep sorrow for Jaylen and how he was picked on during his life. I felt a teary eye whenever he talked and ticked at the same time. Even though he had a disease that made him to weird things he still had an excellent speaking voice and vocabulary. Even though the effect of tourette syndrome will ware off in the future, it still affects him now but he is still brave to be himself and to be proud he has it.
