Rome!

Personally I think Rome are copiers of Greece but that's my opinion, and I say that because they have similar of everything from us. Similar Gods, buildings, foods, just a bunch of copiers. The book says they borrowed but everyone knows there were jealous and they copied. Around 500 BC Rome overthrown Etruscan Rule, 450 BC the 12 tables were written the first Roman legal code. Then a few hundred years later the Punic Wars begin, they were between Rome and Carthage. in 202 BC Rome wins control of western Mediterranean. The Romans were shrewdly generous in their treatment of defeated enemies. More often than not, these were given the status of allies, keeping there local laws, government systems, and armies under ultimate Roman authority. The Romans also tightened there control over the Italian peninsula by creating a network of colonies of settlers of Rome.

Mr. Schick was not here once again because he was sick and I don't know why but I really hope you get better and come back soon! Is there a test or a quiz on Greece coming up, I don't know why I'm asking I just got this feeling that there is, I love ancient Greece because I think that it is so fascinating and the best topic of the ancient world. I don't like cyber days and I really don't want another one to be honest.

Presented are project

Today in class we continued watching the videos. We watched some really cool ones that were very creative and also they're were some funny ones but all in all they were really good. and we presented are project to the class, we did are project on Ancient Sparta and I think we did really good because we have a commercial and a PowerPoint and a story board, it was really good. At least I thought so. I think I might get an A or even a 100% that would be so awesome. I really don't know what much to say but oh well. The rest of my day was fine in case you were wondering but you probably weren't haha.

Project

Today in class we worked on our project, we re-filmed the hole thing, because we thought it was bad. It looks a lot better now the fact that we have music and it doesn't look like crap. I get to kill Sung Lee its so cool and he also gets to be a girl, the best commercial ever. Me and Sung are the actors and Ryan is the narrator and Kap is the camera man. You will die when you see are storyboard and find our video the best thing in the world. I miss you Mr. Schick we all miss you Our whole class misses you and we want you to get better as soon as possible. Anyway today in Mr. Schick's class we had two different teachers. We had Mr. Bolden second and I can't quite remember who we had first, but she was cool as well. We worked on our storyboard and video again just to touch up  on some stuff. I think that we will do pretty well.

Greece

I read about how the Greeks artisan skills are still being used today and how the Greeks how a strong military thanks to Sparta. Sparta was its own city-state. They lived pretty close but also pretty far from Athens. They had a really strong military power because they would train young boys at the age of 8 to fight and to kill, and once they reached 21 they has a final test and that was to kill an animal in a one on one with a sword, and if they did that then they were officially a Spartan and if that boy was to die then he would be a disgrace to his family but very few died like 1/20 died. If you became a Spartan you were officially a man. You were responsible for defending Greece and Sparta. The Spartans would wear a red rode with body armor on top of that. The red was for this reason if a Spartan was to die in war the enemy could not see Spartan blood. The Spartans were very skilled people they believed in fight face to face and not arrows because that means your a coward and its like a cheap kill. Only the Athenians and other Greeks used arrows. All Greek armies including the Spartans fight for land when the Persians came and conquer us for awhile and then the Greeks fought back. We beat them in the sea and by land. The Persians out numbered the Spartans and killed them at Thermopylae, but the Spartans were holding them and killing as many men as long as they could until they died by arrows. After they died they went to kill the other Greek army, but they failed the Athenians a few Spartans and other Greeks pushed the Persians and killing and pushing them back into there land a broke the bridge from Greece to there land. The Greeks once believed in these made up Gods but now they are Christians or followers of Christ. And I myself am a Greek Orthodox Christian.
