lots of tears

Most of class today was spent talking about dogs.   Unfortunately Mr.Schicks dog passed away to doggy heaven yesterday.  He told us all about Michaels last day on earth which prompted many girls in our class to actually cry real tears.  When Mr.Schick Brough up the pictures of the dogs many girls in the back rows lost their emotional grip on life for a few moments and balled in front of the entire class.  Then this led into a gruesome details of many deaths and near death experiences of many animals, which led to... you guessed it... more tears.  Today has seemed very long I have been starving all day and am so tired.  Also I have a very bad head ache tonight, so I am just going to write a short blog because my head hurts to think.  I feel like the school year is starting to kick in full swing and I am just so tired every night

Rome pt.5

  - The poet Juvenal said Rome "anxiously hopes for two things: bread and circuses" - Bread (free grain from the state) and entertainment (circus Maximus, Colosseum), partly to keep them alive,  and partly to keep them quiet, distracted, and docile A Change in Rule - Tiberius Gracchus recognized the advantages of courting the plebeians (even though he was ultimately unsuccessful).   Military generals worked that angle - lead an army that conquers a land, then give them a share in the spoils - Soldiers' loyalty was to their military leader, not necessarily to Rome or the Republic No one did that better than Caesar: - Julius Caesar (100-44 BCE) (test question) - A highly successful general - He conquered the huge territory of Gaul He could play the game (of politics):  Made common folks happy  Made friends in high places  Pompey (a general who conquered Syria and Palestine)  Crassus (the richest man in Rome, one of the richest men in all history)  These three
