I promise this isn't a biased opinion even though it is very clear I do not like Donald Trump for many reasons. The short answer: Yes, The long answer: Well we have Donald Trump in office and just to start it off, I believe he insights violence for a lot of answers. For example when the Charleston incident happened, Donald Trump, there were fine people on both sides, in sighting, Nazi's are.. fine. Donald has made the biggest division in society. Never gives any apology which i have trouble thinking because i want a fair person ruling our country that has the best interest in our people. As a president he doesn't act appropriate for example, sexually speaking about woman, using jokes instead of anazlyzing his problem, being more concerned about his age. Instead, he isn't realizing all of the major issues we have and that he won't analyze. I feel this paragraph could be better but I don't have the time to explain every detail. I really do think Donald has done (some) things to better our country but he needs to act more respectful to his people. I feel like it is possible to repeat history, and he is making it happen. I

Today in Western Civilization we talked about the final and how we should keep all the tests. We got the tests back from the day before break. I miss having off but hey the week is halfway over! tomorrow is a dress down day and I'm happy because I get to wear comfy clothes !! During class, the teacher got a call from Mr. Ireton and he wanted to see me. Luckily I didn't have to go down right away because I saw his rap about Greece and I laughed so hard! it was a good start to the day. When he told me I could go up and see Mr. Ireton I dreaded walking up there. When I met Mr. Ireton, all he did was ask if I played lacrosse and I said no. Then he said I could go back down! Overall i hd a good first mod.

Because he kept on pushing, hoping to reach the farthest edge of the continent.
5.)
Macedonian generals fought amongst themselves for control of his Empire. Eventually, three ambitious leaders won out.

Persian-
1st archers (could shoot very far)
then calvary
lightly armored infantry
huge numbers
a long way from home

So after we took the rest of the notes I wrote down every slide title he said the information was going to be on the test.

Today in Western civ, i was put in a group with Kylie, Grace and Stefan. the group is fun and our main focal point is surrounding gods and goddesses. I mean i dont know too much about any type of god so i had to do some research. for the project we need to have an extra presentable object and i had a great idea of making cupcakes but each one is dedicated to a certain god. for example, put a lightning bult on a cupcake for Zues, a wave/ ocean looking one for Poeisidon. Mr. Schick wanted us to dresss up like the gods and goddesses, but sorry to say that was out of the question! Before i had the cupcake idea, i thought we could make a poster. So me and kylie asked the teacher if we could go to the art wing to use a piece of poster paper. It took a bit longer than exspected but at the end we got it! i am looking forward to the grade because it seems like fun between our group.

Today in Western Civ, we took notes and listen to our teachers exspierience with abuse from teachers/nuns!
Notes:
Even more geography
although fertile valleys cover one quarter of the peninsula, only about 20% is arable (suitable for farming)
their diets consist of grains, grapes, olives, and fish
lack of resources most likely led greek colonization
back then, temperatures ranged mid 40's in winter, low 80's in the summer-even though it could get hot
(summer)
it was nice year round
Some early peoples 1st Mycenaeans
their influence began around 2000 bce
Mycenae is located on a rocky ridge on Peloponnesus, protected by a 20 foot thick wall
mycenaen kings dominated greece 1600-1100 bce
controlled trade in region
there is a little bit more notes but i wanted to talk about how much entertainment was served when mr. schick talked about his experience at school. it is nice to know that a teacher is understanding and aware of school not being the best thing in our minds.

Today in western civilization, mr schick showed us a powerpoint full of facts/ hints toward our next graded assignment. after we were finished, we had to finish getting notes from the text book.
general notes:
2000 islands in the aegean/ ionian seas
the sea shaped greek civilization just as rivers shaped the ancient civilizations of Egypt, the fertile crescent, India,and china
all lived around the sea
took 85 miles to get to the coast
mountains divided the land into a nu,ber of different regions
ancient times, uneven terrain also made land transportation difficult
(mostly dirt paths)
climate was the 3rd most important environmental influence on greek civilization
48 degrees in the winter
80 degrees in the summer
a large wave of info europeans migrated from the eurasian steppes to Europe
I think that greek culture is very interesting and im excited to learn about in the future! Plus I just got told that I am going to greece next summer.
