My First Day at John Carroll

-
1.   The best part of my day today was lunch. I feel like that is when I got to meet new people and make new friends. It was interesting to see a bunch of new faces, especially because not many people from my middle school came to John Carroll. Even though I was nervous in the morning, I later had a feeling that I might enjoy high school very much, and that I might make a lot of new friends, too. I look forward to see what's to come in the next four years here at JC.
       The worst part of my day today would probably have to be the time spent in between classes. Today, I was having to check my schedule a lot because I did not really know where I was going. However, I feel like this is bound to happen the first couple days at school because I am not used to where everything is yet. It is okay though because eventually it'll get better and I won't end up lost.

2.   I like the seat I was given in class today. To be honest, I would be okay with any seat I was assigned to because it does not really matter to me where I sit. I am seated in the front row and that is fine. Plus, I won't have to worry about anyone's head getting in the way of my view of the front board. I do not have any vision problems or any preferences pertaining to my seat, so the seat I was assigned today works for me.

Dramas Performed in Ancient Greece

In Ancient Greece, dramas were performed as a form of art, just like plays in our society today. Dramas back then would focus on leadership, justice, and duties owed to the gods. There were two types of drama in Ancient Greece. A tragedy is one type. Tragedies were serious dramas about common themes such as love, hate, war, or betrayal. There were usually main characters and tragic heroes. The tragic hero had what is called a "tragic flaw". This is what causes the downfall of this hero. Aeschylus, Sophocles, and Euripides were great authors of tragedies in Ancient Greece. The other type of drama is called a comedy. Comedies contained scenes slapstick situation and crude humor. In comedies, politics and respected people/ideas were usually made fun of. A playwright named Aristophanes wrote the first great comedies for the stage like The Birds  and Lysistrata . (b) An Ancient Greek comedy has similarities to the movie Home Alone . For starters, they both  colorful costumes/se

Thoughts on Mr. Schick's Blog

-
   On yesterday's Western Civ. blog post, Mr. Schick posted a bunch of his thoughts on aspects of cyber school. One thing he mentioned in his list was accountability. During this time away from our regular school environment, we are finding that students really need to step up by focusing on doing our assignments with our 100% effort, by realizing the importance of doing our own work, and trying our hardest to manage our time so that we get our work done efficiently. I would completely agree with this. From my point of view, I am finding it harder to get my work done efficiently. Not only do we have an increased workload of schoolwork, but we have to give it our all and try our best on these assignments, with all the difficulties surrounding us. To be completely honest, I find myself wanting to just look up the answers to my work, but then I realize that I need to truly understand the subject/topic we're learning. This can make it even harder because, like Mr. Schick stated in
