Overall my incorrect answers covered a variety of topics and did not follow many patterns...However I will pay more attention to specific names and political structures now that I have played this game. This is an effective review tool and I plan to use it with my notes to study for the test.

Mnastaries that kept to Benedict's rule could be useful institutions for people who needed structure in their lives. Also, farmers could be a part of these institutions because manual labor is deemed necessary for a few hours a day. Today, I can only see these institutions being used as prisons or intense farms. 5. The Rule reveals a great deal about social and economic structure. Social structure is clearly based largely on religion, as rules such as helping the poor and chastising are present. Economic structure is largely based on agriculture, and also many people sound like they live in poverty as helping the poor is often stressed. The fact that manual labor is stressed is probably to allow people to feel like they are fulfilling their religious obligations even when working.

Bhakti poets

Personally, I do not like this collection of poems because none of them rhyme and are somewhat hard to interpret. However, if you pay close attention to the message they are sending they do a good job of representing Indian society. A few of the poems represent their faith to the Gods, and the others represent love which is important in family life as well as religion. In a nutshell, Indian society is based on family life and praising the gods, so these poems actually do a good job representing Indian society.
