I love jeopardy, but it frustrates me when I get the answers wrong. One of the things I noticed when I was playing this is I NEED TO STUDY CHAPTER 17 AND GET THOSE DETAILS DOWN IN MY HEAD! I did not know much about the European stuff, information. Chapters about India and Islam were the easiest for me; I do not know how I understand them so well, but I guess there are certain things which you would understand easily and others you would not. Also, in China, I kept on messing up the emporers of Sui and Tang and Song dynasties. Another thing was dealing with the Post Classical India, the different states in the Southeast Asia; I do not know how to memorize the names - I guess I'm just gonna have to READ and READ MORE UNTIL I GET IT!!
P.S. the game really helped me with the review; it made me realize what I need to work on and what I need to read and focus on. I think we should do this more often because it really did help me.

"Not to love much or excessive laughter!!!" :)) oopps my bad
Focus Questions 4 and 5:
4. Monasteries that kept to Benedict's RULE could be very useful in institutions, because all monasteries now decided by this Benedict's Rule, since before, they were not so unified. Deciding public affairs by this Rule means people who were following these rules were scared and threatened because if they do something wrong, or commit a crime, it would mean it's against their religion. It's a good thing in a way where no one is committing a crime or lying; I guess it did not last very long seeing the modern day crimes. Anyways, since many people might have been following all these rules, it might have helped out with less people creating crimes because of the population. As Benedict's Rules stated "not to be proud" or "not to steal" or "to relieve the poor" - as many more, these all rules helped with the society.
5. In the terms of social and economic structure, if many people were in the monasteries, and following these rules, first of all, they were scardy cats! Secondly, the people must have been poor since Europe was recovering from the fall of the Roman Empire. In social structure, of course, the monasteries had these strict Benedict's Rules which people followed.

Goddly poems
The poems of the Bhakti Movement do represent Indian Society. For example, the poems are more focused on believing in God(s) and also, the poems describe the caste system. The idea of God is represented in all the poems which does represent the Indian society, but the distinction between Hinduism and Islam is present as well. Since its Bhakti Movement, the people were trying to decrease that distinction.
I did like the poems, but the only concern I have is the translation of them. I think the translations ruined the meanings of the poems and those translataions are not accurate.
