integrity

During this unexpected time of the year we are forced to do cyber school because we cannot go back to school. It is stressful for the students and the teachers trying to get used to this extreme change. Teachers have to make sure they have their assignments up before their first class starts. And students have to make sure they have all of their work done by certain times in the day. Most students including myself have been copying and pasting trying to get their work done by using someones work that they have worked hard on. So we have to try and get the most out of this online schooling while we can by doing our own work so we are somewhat learning the material we need to know.

He changed Greece for the better by helping their military tactics and for the Persians he taught them a Greek way of life. He was one of the main reasons Ancient Greece was so strong and dominant in most wars they fought.

This type had a main character that would save the day and be great or have a serious downfall that they have the overcome. Comedy contained slapstick situations or really crude humor. They would be about politics or important people at the time and would make fun of them. Plays or productions today are very similar. There are musicals that surround a certain situation but contain a ton of music. But there are also dramas that surround a situation with a main character and try to figure out why something happened or who did it.  Here there is a theater that is producing a play. There is a ton of people watching showing that this play was a really good one and that dramas in ancient times were really important to the greek people.
