Todays class was very boring. All we did was book work that takes forever cause I hate writing notes. Other then that at the beginning of class Elpris and Dylan were fighting over whether they should do there presentation without Athen or not. After many fights in and out of the room they decided not to. Even tho Elpris won rock paper scissors. But that was it and the rest of class was not really fun.

questions:
1) Direct Democracy: Democracy when the people have a say at a ballet or vote
Classical Art: values of harmony, order, and balance into art.
Tragedy: Drama theater
Comedy: slapstick and crude humor type of theater
Peloponnesian War: Sparta and Athens go to war, Sparta won
Philosopher: lovers of Wisdom
Socrates:He believed in Absolute Standards, admired, punished some view points
Plato: A student of Socrates, wrote "The republic", Perfect Government of three stages, Farmers, Artisans, and warriors
Aristotle: Philosopher that questioned the nature of the world

3) Perciles set out to create a:

4) Athens focused on their Navy, water,  and Sparta had a strong Army, land. Sparta won burning Athens to the ground.

5) His view points were so different creating them to be disturbing to some.
