My First Essay Post

This is an essay from my sophomore year in high school. It is an assignment for school. We were supposed to write an essay about the culture of some society in the past. I chose to do mine on Babylon because that is where the written word originated. I thought it was ironic and comedic that I did my essay (using words) about the culture that invented words, or at least writing them down.

A word of warning:

Some of the information may or may not be false. I did cite information from books and internet sites that had it, but in the process of writing it the night before it was due, I may have...put in some...wrong information. This is just as a precaution. So if you are going to cite this info in an essay of yours be aware that it may not all be true. Also, on the subject of citing, don't be an idiot and copy the whole essay without citing so. In school, at least in mine, we use this cite called Turnitin.com. This cite measures how much of the document submitted is plagiarized, or stolen from someone else. So don't be stupid, write it yourself.

Also, I apologize for the formatting error. This was my first submission, I am still learning how it all works, but at least I got it up, right?

Tell me what you think in the comments section, I am dying to know what people think of my writing style and essays.
