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.
Life of the main character (farmer): Life was hard, if a man didnt have enough land. One had to rise early in the morning to start working on their fields, and stayed out late taking care of the crops. Sometimes hardships arrived, diseases that spread to animals, not enough food to feed the farm animals, not enough water (drought), animals that eat plants (for example: locusts, grasshopper, etc), and unusual weather. Many people in the area also farmed, and sometimes, we would help each other out, by lending cows, horses, or even working side by side in fields. Selling the food was equally hard though, for after collecting the harvest, one usually had to bear the burden of bringing the crops from faraway fields to cities. Along the way, there may be bandits, or other dangerous things. On arriving to a town or city, you had to go through guards-posts and pay to bring your load in. Selling was a different matter, whether a person would buy your products or not. In the end, you had to pack up whatever you didn't sell, and leave to start the cycle again.
