Question

2. Imagine you are a farmer living in the hills of ancient Greece. Your brother-in-law, a fisherman who lives on the coast, has just come to visit, and the two of you sit down to talk about your lives and work. Write down what you, as a farmer, might talk about, such as your crops and farm animals. Then write what your brother-in-law might tell you about his experiences as a fisherman. Be sure to mention the weather and climate and how they affect your work and his. Then, talk about the city-states in which you both live. Explain how geography may have influenced the region to develop separate city-states instead of one government that unifies all the people.

Answer 1

hey ur question is sooo long

Answer 2

I will Stop imagine... Ok don't worry i have a answer but at first let me read the question properly The farmer should say that he grows olives, grapes, and grain, and raises sheep, goats, and pigs. The mild, wet winters and hot, dry summers allow several growing seasons so he is busy almost year-round.


The fisherman should mention that the sea links the mainland and the islands, so it is a natural highway. Mountains separate the settlements and there are few navigable rivers, so people turn to the sea for travel, trade, and communication, as well as food. During half of the year, however, high winds and heavy waves make sailing difficult, but the waters at other times are calm and beautiful.


In your discussion about the development of city-states, you might say that the mountains and sea form natural barriers that divide the city-states. Some city-states (such as Syracuse) are islands, and are isolated for part of the year because of the weather.
