Midterm review

     Today in class you were not there to give us a lesson. So, instead we went to your blog where you posted all of the information that will be on the exam. I am writing this in class after I have read through your study guide and can say that this will be crucial in my studying for this exam. I would have gone through all of my blogs to find this information which would have taken a lot of time but, now it is all posted in one place. I did find the note you left at the bottom of the study guide and I think that the essay question isn't too hard. The other method I will use to study for this exam is all of our past tests. I have saved them in preparation for the exams. the only topic that was not found in your latest blog was the information on Excellence. This and the information on Socrates was a very big part of the beginning of the year so I will have to go through my tests and blogs instead.

They won the battle and he made it so Christians would no longer be persecuted.

Rome rap

 Today we got a lot accomplished. First we reviewed all of Rome by listening to a very well done rap made by Mr.Schick. After that we got very far in the power point. We started with how the common folk were given free bread as a sort of welfare. Then we took notes on the Colosseum and Circus Maxims which I have been to. We moved onto Julius Caesar and his conquering of Gaul and the Rubicon and how Pompey became jealous. We finished with his murder by the senate. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1zEi9xi3gni-iKd7UYUX41NRYB2V-qjsz9PyaU5awrp0/edit?usp=sharing

A message to Garcia

     While reading A Message to Garcia I had much to think about and many emotions. During the reading I almost felt guilty because currently I would not be able to carry the message. I am not the most hardworking person who goes out of his way to accomplish a goal the way it should be accomplished. I always finish something with the required work and will definitely find a way to do minimum work possible. I felt like A Message to Garcia was speaking to those who don't do the most work and to inspire them to better themselves not just for them but for others.            The story also tries to convey how people who are able to carry this message are what all of society needs. In the story the author states that " If men do not act for themselves, then what will they do when the benefit of their effort is for all." This explains if you do not do the work for your self how will you be able to work for other people, and if you can not do work f...
