I read two stories about the first emperor of China. Their titles are: "The First Emperor" by Daniel Cohen and "Digging up the Past" by Helen W. Bledsoe. The main idea of "The First Emperor" is the emperor was protective of himself. He had the Great Wall of China built to protect himself from the people in the north. He also didn't stay in one spot for very long so he could live longer.
The main idea of "Digging up the Past" is the emperor had an elaborate tomb. The emperor had a lot of people dig four pits and put terra-cotta soldiers and horses in three of them. They also buried him with jade and pearls.
Both stories are about the emperor. They both talk about the emperor and the tomb, but "The First Emperor" talks about the emperor more, and "Digging up the Past" talks about the tomb more.
