Today in West civ we went over a mini quiz thing we took in class. We talked about the fall offf the roman empire. And how it was split into east and West and how the west was lost to barabians and the east became the byzantime empire. The East was more rich and powerful then the west, the west contained the poor and was easier to sack because it didn't have a big wall. Eeveryone was scared of the huns., they were fearless and nasty.

TODAY

Today in class we reviewed each to others Papers. I reviewed Emily Stasuks, her paper was pretty good filled with facts and creativity. Her paper discussed the differences between the roman empire and the roman republic. She talked about Claduis and Clawigua and TIberus. She discussed how tiberus was a bad ruler and how Caudias was a good ruler but dissabled and how Calwiga was crazy
