sorry!!

I want to say I am sorry that it took so long to get my act together. But I will try to up date my blog since I stoped.

Here are some piece I wrote in 6th grade.
This one is on Greece:
1. The sea trade influenced the growth of civilization in Greece by being able to sail where ever they need to go. Since they did sail all around they could spread information. Also they could talk to more people while trading. People could get more developed to help their people.
2. Democracy developed and worked in Athens because someone got an idea that it wasn’t fair to let specific people make the rules. They way things were ran was by 500 random people vote on something, they would be paid to be on the council. So everyone could afford to leave work and be on the council. Not everyone got to be a citizen like girls and poor people.
3. The cultures of Athens and Sparta were different and the same. They were different because Athenian boys only attended school, boys were better, and Spartan kids attended school, also Spartan men went to war at age 30 and Athenian men went to war at 18. Something that was the same that all men went to war sometime.
4. Greeks finally won the Persian wars by the Athens and Spartan joined to together and kept fighting. When ever they were under a lot of pressure they got away. They also out numbered them. Eventually they won the fight/war.
