She avoided urban and street scenes as well as the nude figure and‚ like her fellow female Impressionist Mary Cassatt‚ focused on domestic life and portraits in which she could use family and personal friends as models.

Ancient Middle East “Cradle of Civilization” The ancient middle east was called the “cradle of civilization” by historians. Why was this? This was because the ancient middle east settled and prospered near two major rivers‚ the Tiberis and the Euphrates and created the very first flourishing civilization.

There was no other weather change in the entire book except for the tornadoes. There was no snow‚ rain or hail. He never made a single comment about the sun‚ but found it important to include a tornado‚ multiple
