M3-Meeting Ramses II

I woke up feeling great! Jumping out of bed I slipped on my slippers, ready for something fun to do today. I got dressed and got on the computer to see if there was anything to do, there were lots of fun things to do but the one that looked most interesting to me was to have a tour of Ramses II tomb. I registered my tickets and headed out the door to my car, while I was walking I saw a paralyzed girl in a wheelchair, I felt very thankful for not being paralyzed. I got in my car ready for a long strip to Ramses' II tomb.
I got to the tomb, and went to the ticket stand and said to the lady, "Hi may I have my tickets under Ava Anderson please?"
"Oh, okay hold on." The lady said while she took out a big box.
"Ah, here you go Ava." she said
"Thank you ma'am." I said while I was walking to the entrance.
I got to the entrance right on time for the tour. I got with the group of people and headed in.
We got inside and I gasped, it was beautiful. The tour guy told us, "You are now entering Ramses' II tomb. Ramses II was one of the pharaoh in Ancient Egypt, he ruled from about 1290 to 1224 B.C.E. He was best known for his military leadership and for building numerous monuments. He did everything in a big way, he had 100 wives and more than 100 children. Now I would say that is a lot of children and wives!" The tour man said. I was amazed about Ramses II having so many wives and children. We walked on a little bit longer and the tour man kept on telling us about Ramses II's childhood and how he fought in wars with his father.
We got to his coffin and the tour man said, "We are now at Rameses' coffin, when he died , he was buried in a tomb that was built for himself. Ramses II is one of the best-preserved mummies ever found." I thought in my head that there were lots of great information I just learned. I headed out the exit and headed for a long trip back to my car and to my motel.

  4. Excellent use of dialogue, especially to have the tour guide provide all of that information.
