Entry 16

We ate and ate until our stomach was full of food. Then, we packed our equipment and stuff and then head back to the holler. We talk all the way from that house to the front gate of the holler. Tiller and Sairy talk to each other and we heard that they were talking about too. Back at the Boxton Creek Home, Mrs. Trepid stood in front of a window in her house watching the trash cans fall and make loud noise. She was thinking back when she first met Florida and me. It was a best time even in her life, but now we were gone so she is very lonely, but anyway she still has Mr. Trepid. She was thinking back and back. She saw a woman walked by swinging her arms. It keeps on annoying her until she shouted at someone to stop the trash cans from swing and felling. At Ruby holler, tiller and Sairy told us that we can have free time which mean that we can play, jump, hop, and other. We were decided if we are going to escape again or just stand there or should we go to the trip with tiller and sairy. While that, we were playing on the other side of the hill swing, sliding, jumping, and other. They were swinging on the swing and talk. It was very dark outside. There were many thunders and lightning. At night time, every one of us was facing a nightmare. Florida has a bad dream, and also Tiller, sairy, and as well as me. It was very scary!

Entry 15

We follow them to a room at the bottom floor of the house. It like where they shore food and other resources. Florida and I were in a dark, smelling room that is full of disgusting thing such as rat, snake, and other. I was very sleeping, but it is hard to sleep. We talk almost the whole night and suddenly our brain turned off. We were sleepy and we got ready to sleep on the sleeping bag that we have pack while we were with Tiller and Sairy. Florida couldn't sleep and when she turned to talk with me I was already snoring. When I wake up it was still dark. Everybody in the house was already asleep except Florida and me. I was very, very hungry and so was Florida. I didn't know that she was hungry as well. We have another conversation during our sleep time. We decided that we will going to escape one more time. This place is very horrible. We slowly, quietly, and carefully step outside the room, down the hall, and finally outside. When we reached outside it was already morning. We take a deep breath and suddenly in front of us were Tiller and Sairy. We were very, very surprised. On their hand was a large plate with delicious food and candy. We were very lucky because if we didn't come out, we wouldn't saw Tiller, Sairy, and all of that home-make food. We also asked them how they knew that we were her. They said that Sairy saw us escape and they thought they we were trying out their new equipment that they will take to their trip. We ate bacons, pancakes, candies, and other food.

God and Goddesses

Describe three ways the ancient Greeks honored their gods and goddesses.

 -They honored their god and goddesses by giving something to them so that they will receive something good and special from the god or goddesses. Another way that they honored the god is to have competition, which is known as Olympic game. The third way that they honored is to kill the animal and give it to the god by honoring them.

If you were a Greek god or goddess, which one would you be and why?

 - I would be Apollo because he is good at music and he is kind and is also helpful.His name is similar to the spacecraft called Apollo11 and 13. He was the one who bring Achilles into the Trojan War where Achilles and other heroes won the Trojans.

What is an oracle and how was it connected to the gods and goddesses?

 - An oracle is a special person, who knows the future. He was conneted to god as he knows the god's plan and can discover the future by many ways that god sent to him for example the way the bird flew, the shape and color of the liver of a sacrificed animal.

After viewing the prezi, write one question you have and one god/goddess/hero/myth you'd like to learn more about.

- One question that I have during the prezi was:

Why did kronus swallowed his son and daughter?

I like Apollo because he was a kind and helpful god. He is good at music and his name was like the spaceship.

 

Council and Assembly

1. What is the main job of the Council in ancient Athens?

- The main job of council in Athens is to list the problems that the citizen are facing and then they will send them to the assembly.

2. What is the main job of the Assembly in Athens? Also, how do they do their job?

- The main job of the assembly is to debate and vote for the problems and then solve them.

3. How did democracy in Athens change the way citizens were treated?

- They have right to debate and they can have a chance to be in the council or the assemble. And the gorvment worked for the people such as building a 

  public school for children. IN Greek, the gorvment worked for people, but in other ancient civilization the people worked for gorvment.

Entry 14

We were very patient because if they spot us trying to escape they might lock us in a room or they might send us back home. (Boxton Creek Home). What will happened if they kwon that we are escaping? Will they miss us? Will they be happy that we are not there? Will they be lonely, sad, and angry? Is it the right thing to do? Do you think that we will scare them to death? Who know? We will be moving now. We have been waiting for the night train for 13 year already. Finally our dream has become true. In tiller and sairy' room, they are still awoke, but luckily they didn't spot us yet. A few minute later, sairy went downstairs to find something. She didn't notice anything, but she said that the house was very quite. She reached for a box where she had put all of her and tiller's photo in the box. It was a photo of her in the wedding dress. In the photo tiller and sairy were getting married with each other. Tiller who is upstairs was also thinking about when his daughter was facing a fever. He was very worried. First they decided that they will go to the trip alone, but now they decided that they will go with other people, which include me and Florida. While that Florida and I were escaping we meet a little scary house. Suddenly, one old man came out and the other one came out. They were very old people that lived together. One was a man and the other was a woman.

Entry 13

After we visit Mr. and Mrs. Trepid we went back to ruby holler. It was super hot out there. Florida has already finished building the boat. Tiller and Florida was very happy! Florida earns extra money for finishing the boat. A few hours after that, Sairy and I were finishing up the list of equipments. I also earn extra money. (Lots of money). We kept it safely under our pillow, in our shoe, in the pocket, and others. We decided that we were going on the night train this night. In the other room next to our room were Tiller and Sairy. They were not asleep yet and they were talking about us. We remember that our birthday was on the 29th July. After that, they went back to sleep. Sairy blew the candle out. In our loft, Florida and I were escaping out of our room carefully and quietly. We walked down the stair, but before we went down Florida was thinking back when she was young. In the room, there was Florida, me, and one little girl. Mr. Cranbep said that her name was Gigi. She likes to spit on us while we were asleep in our bedroom. (At Ruby Holler) we continue to walk down slowly.

entry 12

They nearly caught us planning to steal the money and spy them. But they did not ask. How lucky am I. we also decide that we will bury our money like them too. We think that it is cool to have our own understone fund. We make a trip to Boxton Creek Home. Again Mr. Trepid, the head of the house or our father was standing in front of the house. I think that he was waiting for someone or something. He was still angry at us for any reasons. We decide not to go in, but unfortunately he slowly walked toward us. We have a small conversation with Mr. Trepid. After that we went back and we pass Mrs. Trepid. She was standing with a baby in her hand. Sairy told with her while we were in the car ready to leave.

entry 11

We went down to eat pancake with Marble syrup, and other special and delicious food. We never eat this delicious food before. It was almost our first time. We accidently break the window in out bedroom. We asked Sairy if she has any rules, but her answer was NO. She said that most houses have rules except her house. Tiller almost has some common rules. Tiller was making a list of final items that we will needed for the river journey. They needed more money because they have not enough money so secretly, they told us about the secret of the undertone funds. It was the place where they both hide each of their money. It kind of like a bank. We decided that we will secretly follow them up and down the paths and to the secret place. A few minute pass, we got stuck in the trap. When they got back they couldn't find us. Luckily they went back and saw us and they helped us. We were safe!!

entry 10

I was outside with Florida in the garden while Tiller and Sairy were talking to each other. We were chopping down tree, but not a normal tree. It is a special Marble Tree that Tiller planted with his dad when he was young. Tiller loved it so must because it represents his children that he once take care of them, but now they were separate. They all went out to find jobs, families, friend, and education. Tiller was very mad at us. That not all, Florida and I have cut I hole in the barn because Tiller said that in there was dark with no lights. We make it like a window for light, air, and natural wind to flow in. we want to help Tiller and Sairy worked. Now Tiller was even mad that us. In the next morning, Florida was standing in front of their room. She was looking at the rocker, a wooden swing chair in the corner. They talk and talk. Florida wants to swing on the chair, but she afraid that she will break it. An hour later, in front of Tiller and Sairy's room, Florida was swing on the wooden chair. Back at the Boxton Creek Home, Mr. and Mrs. Trepid, they miss Florida and me very much. They were thinking of a good time when we all stand as one. They remembered that when one boy called Joey, once lived with them and one day he sadly died. Mr. Trepid was very very sad.
