The Persian People

     The two stories we read in class tell alot about the Persian people.  In the Manners of Kings it emphisizes their belief in treating others how you want to be treated.  That story also teches a respect for ones posessions.  In the Rubaiyat it shows that they have a "sieze the day" attitude and want to live life to the fullest.  Specifically in XLVIII it tells of how you should see the good in all the bad in the word.  The Persians seem to be people who try to enjoy life and make the best of it.  They try to treat others and their posessions with respect.
