Carthage

I have no idea why the Romans would burn Carthage because they could make more money with the land they got. How did they burn the land so fast? All of that in 3 months? They must have a huge hate for the people of Carthage. I would live on that land forever! I like the movie because of the acting is pretty good and the characters have a good story behind them. I am looking forward to the rest of the video. I am finally one happy camper.

This was made on Monday and I just saved it by mistake and did not publish it. I hope that you will understand and give me the credit for the blog. Thank You.

84

I got an 84 on my test. I am happy about my grade and it brought my grade up to passing. That is very good and now I will not get yelled at anymore. The test was quite easy and had a few tough questions. An 84 is very good for me and I don't get that good of a grade very often.

Lovin' The Multiple Choice

I thought that the test was very east today and that it was well constructed. The questions were not to hard and easy to understand what it was trying to say. I didn't even have to ask one question! I also love that the color of the test was purple because it makes it look and feel a bit easier. I don't know why but it really does! I was very happy about how my quiz went and I see my grade going up in the near future. I'm one happy camper today.

Bit of notes

9:58 AM

Tarquin was the last Roman King

He had a son who raped a woman and then she committed suicide

Res Piublica- Peoples affair, peoples power, what we know now as a republic

Patricians are wealthy land owners, Plebeians have the normal, middleclass people

Aristocracy created the democracy and there were 300 of them

The people wanted the patricians to come out and say the laws of Rome so they came up the 12 tables that had the laws and the punishments put down

There monarchs were called consuls and there were 2 of them and they had to be chosen by the senate and had a one year term and then take 10 years before they could run again.

At times they had a dictator that only could be there for 6 months in times of crisis

Rome had a very big military that was well trained and they were called the Roman Legion

A third of the population were slaves and they tried to revolted against us

Carthage tries to take over the island of Sicily and fails

Carthage tries to take over Roma and fail

Then Rome crushes them

Presentations

Carlys music thing was amazing. It was well edited and the pictures were well timed. Now if I had one mine would be much better cause I would be the best rapper ever. I would not have any special name or anything. Now I have to watch some wrestling.

Roma

There is a great soccer team in Rome called Roma.                                                       
They have some really good players on there team. There rivals are a team called Lazio and they want to break each others neck. The best player on Roma is a legend named Totti.
He scores a lot of work.

Sounds Like I Missed A Lot

It sound as if I was absent for a month instead of a day. I came back and it was like the whole class had changed. I was not expecting a song that I thought was going to be just a joke, became quite the event and was the whole topic of class today and the day that I was sadly not here for. The good news is that I can finally type without looking at the keyboard! I am so happy that I finally can do this and it took me so long but I finally can do it!

Out sick

Got Sick, be back tomorrow
