I have no idea if my sentence structure was grammatically acceptable in that last paragraph.
I hate to see this book leave my locker, as it has provided me with a very interesting view of history, but I guess it has run its course. I don't really know how much longer I would have been able to read about salt, but it was refreshing to have a chapter set in the 'ol A.D.'s for a change.
The valley of Po sounds like a wonderful little region, prosperous, fruitful, and according to the author's description, beautiful. I wouldn't want to live there (being in really nice places makes work and school even more depressing...that's why I like western PA), but I'd love to visit there someday.
Back to number six--it always disgusts me to learn about cheese. I love it dearly, but the way it's produced is absolutely disgusting. "I'm gonna give you a liquid that comes from the mammary gland of a cow, and you're gonna wait 'till it goes bad and becomes a solid. Then, use salt to preserve it"

bahah cheese production is pretty nasty. It tastes mighty good though. I love like pepperjack cheese and anything spicy like that. pepperjack cheese+two slices of pepperoni+ritz cracker=SUPER OMNOMNOMNOM.
I don't think comfort of the slaves was a primary concern for those who designed the "salt wheel" brine pump.
Worry less about your grammar and focus more on bringing out observations and inferences to the text. Your blog is lacking in some respects by your prior post.
Tell me what you read about this chapter? Your comment of "I hate to see this book leave my locker, as it has provided me with a very interesting view of history, but I guess it has run its course. I don't really know how much longer I would have been able to read about salt, but it was refreshing to have a chapter set in the 'ol A.D.'s for a change." is very vague and doesn't tell me much about what you read.
Again, off topic about Western Pa. Tell me about Parma Italy? Venice Salt trade? Did you read the chapter?
Number 6? There is no 6th entry? Where is chapter # 6?
