I. what was cedric's brand statement?
ii. was it smart of cedric to avoid writing about his embarrassing
lunchtime incident and wacky grandma?
ii. would it be better if cedric had written a brand statement that
promoted his juicebox label and grandma? for example: "i never give
up despite what life brings. when people think of me, they think of
courage, baseball, and wacky grandmas. i stand out because i am the
one and only juicebox."

The greatest gift the sumerians gave the world was the invention of writing. the sumerians were a wealthy people. they needed some way to keep track of what they owned. they began drawing pictures. they used a reed as a pen. they drew on soft pieces of clay. the soft clay was then dried in the sun. the tablet became a permanent record. later, the sumerian drawings changed into wedge-shaped symbols. this kind of writing is called cuneiform. by putting symbols together, the sumerians could write entire sentences.
