| | + | Homework Assignment 2 |
| | + | |
| | + | 1. I think the main secret to [[Alexander the Great]]’s enormous success was due to his love for war, his teachings from [[Aristotle]], and his strategic mind. |
| | + | |
| | + | : Excellent point about his "strategic mind." |
| | + | |
| | + | 2. Every region in Greece was separated from its neighbors by water or mountains. This caused the Greeks create city-states. |
| | + | |
| | + | :Good. |
| | + | |
| | + | 3. The big advance in language was the invention of vowels. People could then express themselves in written words more clearly. |
| | + | |
| | + | :Good again. |
| | + | |
| | + | 4. A significant advancement in Greece was the invention of democracy. This somehow trickled down to the United States, which became the greatest democracy. |
| | + | |
| | + | :We're not quite a democracy like the Greeks. We are more of a republic. (Minus 1). |
| | + | |
| | + | 5. Aesop’s Fables were stories that taught people good morals. They were easy to understand and they pointed out the evil in life. Most of them pointed out sly actions in life. |
| | + | |
| | + | :Interesting point about "sly actions." Perhaps the Fables are a good introduction to warning people about deceit? |
| | + | |
| | + | 6. Plato impressed me the most. He thought things could be learned just through logic. His thinking said that someone could train them self to do something without actually doing it. |
| | + | |
| | + | :Excellent. |
| | + | |
| | + | 7. The Assyrians were very brutal. They would torture the people that they captured in battle. Their history was short lived. They were the ones who conquered Israel.(Babylon conquered Judea) |
| | + | |
| | + | :Excellent, though the Assyrians were not all that short-lived. (Minus 1). |
| | + | |
| | + | :68/70.--[[User:Aschlafly|Andy Schlafly]] 22:02, 15 February 2009 (EST) |
