World History Homework 2

BenjaminH

1. A big help to his success was his teaching from Aristotle.

Good.

2. It laid groundwork for Christianity centuries later.

Good, but link this to geography as requested by the question. Always be sure to answer the question asked. (Minus 1).

3. Happened around 1000 B.C. the Greeks took words from other languages and used them as their own.

More than that: the Greeks benefited from the invention of the alphabet. (Minus 1).

4. War and tactics. I think they really improved it because they were able to take over the most of the world known to man at that time. Each soldier had a spear about 15 feet long and a shield on his left arm. Then he would have a sword for closer combat. If the front man fell down that column would just move up to keep it even.

Fascinating.

5. I like all of them even though they may sound kind of pointless, they all have a lesson that you can take away from every one.

Right.

6. I think Aristotle was the greatest because he believed in experience rather then hearing about it. So many things he ended up doing to find out really helped us. He also was the tutor and much of the brains to Alexander’s victories. No he was not there, but he taught everything to Alexander all about the terrain and how to use your army the best.

Excellent.

7. I really liked the Spartans because they had the best warriors in the whole world. Yes 300 did not defeat 200,000 but they were brave enough to bring on that challenge to help there country.

Good. Note: "their", not "there".

H2. The Persian wars was a crusade to try and conquer the whole world. Many went under there blades but Sparta and Athens formed an alliance to join forces to beat them. The alliance eventually over took them but not without a price.

Excellent.

H3. I personally like the Greek architecture the best just because it was so intricate and detailed. Today we might not even be able to find someone who has the skill or the patience to do any of that.

Good again.

H5. I think Alexander the Great was incredible. He was taught by Aristotle, never lost a battle, and never rode a horse besides the one he caught when he was young. The horse died a little before or after him.

A little before, I think. Good answer.
