Situation of Rome in the Movie Gladiator
The way more the movie "Gladiator" depicted Rome as a Land of Barbarians. They act and think they are civilized but they are not. They enjoy the deaths and abuse of slaves. They find it entertaining that men kill each other in the Colosseum. The senators also have no power and everyone is afraid of the emperor. The Emperor has complete control of everything and can do whatever he wants. It shows the corruption of Rome in those days.

What I Admire about the Egyptians
There are many things that I admired about the Egyptians. First most I admire their resourcefulness. They used their environment to their advantage despite living in a desert they managed to survive and make pottery, build houses and etc despite their limited resources. I also admire their art and jewelry. The Egyptian sculptures and other forms of art were very beautiful and creative. The monuments they built were very grand and a lot of work was put into them. I also admire how they treated women in society. Although women were not given work they were still very important as they helped in making decisions of men and how they taught the children. It is also interesting how they let a woman become a momentary ruler when the true heir was unable or to young to rule. They Egyptians contributed a lot in history and I admire them for that.

Necessity is the Mother of Invention
The meaning of the quote above is that we only invent things because we need to. Like when our ancestors learned how to hunt, they learned to do so because they needed it in order to survive. Same can be said for clothing, transportation and shelter. We only discovered/ invented those things because we need them. These necessities drove us to discover and invent new things for without necessity we would not have a reason to invent something.

How the Earth was Made
There Have been many theories and stories on how the Earth was made.Most of them are products of years of research and studies made by scientists from all over the world. Sadly this is not one of those theories.
So the Solar System began as this huge and black space of emptiness made of nothing. It was very, very boring... so boring that that it all just EXPLODED!!! Why? Because boredom can cause us to do a lot of unpredictable things, so this explosion created small rock things called plantesimamals. And these 'planetesimamals soon grouped together to form even bigger rocks called planets! Now you may be wondering, "how do they stick together?". They stick together because of the miracle that is super glue! You may think the joined together because of gravity and stuff, but no it's really super Glue! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!
And on one of those planets life began to form, and this planet was called Earth. I know you’re asking yourself: "How come Earth is Full of Life but all the other planets aren't?” The answer is simple, Earth is special and all the other planets should be jealous!
