John's World
The typical babylonian life was set in classes.  Being peasants, middle class and the upper class.  The middle to upper class consisted of priest, government officials and royalty.  John and his family were priest which in their time lived comfortably.  John and his dad went around freeing the dead.  Makind sure they found there way, so as to no see them trapped on earth. John at first was scared but again he showed a universal idea, Facing his fears.  His curiousity and his father's influence pushed him on.
