Rome powerpoint slides 9-12 and slides 13-22

Today we were assigned to read through slides 9-12 and slides 13-22 and discuss them. Slides 9-12 talked about Tarquin, his family, the awful things they did. Many people in this family wanted power so bad, they were willing to do anything. It started when Tarquin's grandfather dies and with wife names the new king (who isn't her son). He has two daughters which marry Tarquin and someone else. Tulia (one daughter not married to tarquin) kills her husband and sister so she can marry Tarquin. Tulia convinces Tarquin to take the throne from her father. Her father didn't agree with her, so they killed him. Later, Tarquins son was drunk and tried to force himself on a woman. The woman told her family then committed suicide. Tarquin tried to forget about it, but the people didn't like how they were being treated so they expelled the whole family from Rome. For centuries later they never had a king because they didn't want rulers to be like that family. In slides 13-22 it tells about how the Roman government was run over the years and how it is similar to our government system. In Rome the Patricians made the laws and had a say in government. The plebeians (lower class, but 98% of the population) were tired of being treated the way they were so they refused to serve in the military until they had some rights/laws. In our government all people have a say in what they believe, and the plebeians were gable to do this as well. Also, both Roman and US have three branches of government and a legal code.

Temple of Apollo and Temple of Artemis

Image
Today is the last day before Spring Break! Today we were assigned to find two images of Greek architecture and explain them. The first image I found was the Temple of Apollo: The temple of Apollo was built in the 7th c. B.C. in Delphi, Greece. It was a very big temple, but as you can see in the picture  is  was  destroyed many times over the years.  It was built by Trophonios and Agamedes, two legendary architects. The temple was built and named after the god of  archery, music and dance, truth and prophecy, healing and diseases, the Sun and light, poetry, and more. It is known as the  religious  sanctuary sacred to honor Apollo.  The next greek architecture I found was the Temple of Artemis:   Both of these pictures are of the Temple of Artemis, but the first one is what people beige it looked like from ancient days, and the second picture is what is left of it now. The temple was built in the 6th century B.C. and is located in the western coast of the Asia Minor, now a Turkey.

Thought about cyber school

I have lost count of the number of cyber days, but today we were assigned to write a thoughtful blog about integrity, new responsibilities, how this affects others, and how we handle this situation. Like what was said in the assignment, this is a new experience for all of us. For some it might be hard to adapt to the situation, for others it might be easier. We are all handling this differently. I think we need to consider everyone involved. From my experiences so far, in the two weeks of cyber school, I can say that I do get frustrated because of the workload that I get somedays. I admit that I find myself trying to find shortcuts to finish earlier sometimes, but most times I actually put a lot of effort in my work. I actually get homework that I have to submit every day, except d and h days, for dance. It is different things like filming we do certain workouts or following along in an online class. Sometimes they can be fun. After reading the blogpost for today, I realize that we ar

Corona Virus talk

Today in class we talked about the corona virus. We talked about cyber days, the length of time we will get out, the right way to be sanitary, how to stay healthy, and what the virus is/the symptoms. While talking in class we did not know if/when we were going to get out of school and start cyber days. As of tonight, we were told that we are starting cyber days on March 16 and continuing them until March 27, that is a total of 2 weeks. At first when I heard this, I didn't think much of it because we talked about possibly getting out for a month or 2 in class. I was excited until I realized that we might even get longer if the virus spreads faster. I hope we get back before spring break so we can enjoy it. In class we also discussed how to properly wash our hands so we can stay healthy to prevent rising numbers of infected people. I am anxious to hear what our cyber days will be like. I wonder if we will have to start classes at 8 or just given assignments to finish by the end of t
