Today in class we finished we our essays. Here is a part of it.

Ancient Greece was a hardworking country. They had shipbuilders, skill sailors, farmers, medal workers, weavers, and potters, The citizens were normally poor and lacked natural resources. Most of the citizens were middle class, they had some money but they weren’t wealthy. Greece is known through their temples and theaters. Greece is a very healthy country. The women didn’t have many rights living in that time. Their main jobs was to stay at home and take care of the family.

Then we reread all of it and then we were finished and class was over.

Today in Western Civ we read about Alexander's Empire in the textbook on page 142-145. I learned that Macedonia is located north of Greece and had a rough terrain and a cold climate. I learned that under Aristotle's teachings Alexander learned about science, geography, and literature. To inspire himself he kept the Iliad under his pillow. Once he became king he put his military training into use. When the people of Thesbes rebelled Alexander destroyed the city and 6,000 Thesbes were killed. In 334 BC he lead 35,000 soldiers across Hellespont into Anatolia. Victory gave Alexander control over Anatolia. Alexander's army occupied Babylon, Susa, and Persepolis Alexander then disappeared and no one knew where he was then the city caught on fire and the fire is still unknown today. Alexander was more interested in expanding his empire then controlling it. A little later after this Alexander died at age 32. Then the chapter was over and so was class.

We talked about what we were going to do as a group other than the powerpoint and finished up the powerpoint. This is one of our slides that we did today. All athletes competed without any attire. Wrestlers and pankration (a sort of mixed martial art which combined boxing and wrestling) competitors fought covered in oil Corporal punishment awaited those guilty of a false start on the track There were only two rules in the pankration  no biting and no gouging Boxers were urged to avoid attacking the on display male genitals There were no points, no time limits and no weight classifications in the boxing Athletes in the combat sports had to indicate their surrender by raising their index fingers – at times they died before they could do this Boxers who could not be separated could opt for klimax, a system whereby one fighter was gr...
