What I do over the weekend

January 22nd, 2010 by nolanoprms15

Every weekend is a fun weekend because you can relax and you don’t have to go to school. Well I am going to tell you about what I do every weekend.
Every weekend I go to my uncle’s house. We go there because my uncle has a baby girl. And her name is Alexa. She is just a year old.
Usually my family, cousins, uncles, aunts, and grandparent go there. I like going to my uncle’s house because it is fun and I like to play with my brother and cousins. Usually me my cousins and my brother usually play are Xbox 360 or watch TV. While my sister, mom, dad, aunts, uncles, grandma, and grandpa play card games. Most of the times they can’t get Alexa to sleep. But most of the time they do. I like stay there because we get there at 6:00pm and we leave at like 1:00am. And I get to drink a lot of pop and we get to eat a lot of food because everybody that comes brings food. We eat around 12:00am.
I have a lot of fun going to my uncles! I wish I could go there everyday!

My future self

January 15th, 2010 by nolanoprms15

My future self

First I see myself playing football and basketball in middle school. I think I am going to get grades good enough to get me by.
After grade school I am going to go into high school and probably play football there and basketball. I am going to try to take classes that prepare me for engineering.
Then I see my self getting a scholarship at USC playing football.
I probably don’t see myself going to the NFL so I am probably going to major in engineering. I don’t really have a specific building I want to build but I will probably figure that out. I am going to try to get a bachelors degree.
Finally after I graduate from collage I am going to start my job. I probably am going to have to prepare myself by getting good at math because engineering takes a lot of math. Maybe later on in life I will make my own engineering company.

The Bloody battle of the Persian wars

The Bloody Battle of the Persian Wars

A long time ago even before Jesus was born there used to be ancient civilization. It is hard to believe but it is true. in this story we will tell you about this great war that happen a long time ago.
Along time ago about 800bc a city state called Greece was filling up. A lot of people were out of jobs. so people were moving west and east to try to find a home in a city or city-state that is not as packed. One settlement was on the eastern side of the Aegean Sea. The Greeks living there did not like the Persian. Because the Persian were trying to tax the city-state. the Persian king (Darius 1) sent advisor to Greece.
Darius 1 was born in 521BC. He was the son of Hystaspes. He had a wife named Atossa. And a son named Xerxes. He is famous for his inscriptions he wrote. The most famous one he wrote was the inscriptions of Behistun. in which relates how he ganged power and became king and put down the rebellions. Darius 1 belonged to a younger branch of royal family of the Arhaemenidae. After Cambyses committed suicide on march 521BC. The empire was ruled under the name of bardiya (son of Cyrus). Darius 1 tried to regain the kingdom so he could be crowed the king. he killed the usurper in a median fortress (October 521BC) he became the king of Persia. But this sudden change was the signal to regain there independence for an attempt on the part of all the eastern providences with only a tiny army of Persians and Medes and Darius and a hand full of loyal generals overcame all difficulties. And in 520 and 519 all the rebellions were put down (Babylon rebelled twice, Susiana even three times), and the authority of Darius was established throughout the empire. . Darius appears as a fervent believer in the true religion of Zoroaster in his inscription. But he is also a outstanding statesmen and organizer. Darius made the Persian dominion bigger by adding the wild nations of the Pontiac Armenian Mountains to the Caucasus. He became the successor of Cyrus the Great by the organization of the empire. He sent an expedition down the Kabul and the Indus, led by the Carina captain Scylax of Caryanda, who explored the Indian Ocean from the mouth of the Indus to Suez. He dug a canal from the Nile to Suez. his ships sailed from the Nile through the Red Sea by Saba to Persia. he explored the shores of Sicily and Italy. He attempted to gain the goodwill of the subject nations by letting the Jews build the temple of Jerusalem and his name appears on the temples he built in Memphis, and Edfu and the Great Oasis. He called the high-priest of Saïs, Uzahor, to Susa. He gave him full power to reorganize the Great medical school of the temple of Sais. In the Egyptian traditions he is considered as one of the great benefactors and lawgivers of the country. About 512 Darius undertook a war against the Scythians. The Persian wars were begun by the Greeks themselves. The support of the Athens helped the Greeks. But the first expedition that of Mardonius, failed on the cliffs of Mt. Athos (492), and the army which was led into Attica by Darius in 490 was beaten at Marathon. Before Darius had finished his preparations for a third expedition an insurrection broke out in Egypt (486). In the next year Darius died, probably in October 485, after a reign of thirty-six years. He is one of the greatest rulers the east has produced.
The Athens and Spartans didn’t put up with that rule. They killed the advisors. War broke over this rule. The first invasion took place in 490BC. The Persian king at the time was Darius 1. He wanted to conquer everybody that he met. so Darius 1 sent his army to marathon to fight the Greeks. (marathon is a beach 26 miles east of Athens.) The Persian lost this battle. a runner was sent to Athens to tell that they beat the Persian. Persian went home short of supplies with their heads bowed down in defeat.
The second invasion of Greece happened in 480 BC. Xerxes was the king of Persia at that time.
Xerxes was born in Persia in 519BC. He was the son of Darius 1. Xerxes I was king of Persia from 485 – 465 B.C., presiding over ancient Persia’s decline from mighty power to falling empire. His father Darius`1 was defeated at marathon by the Greeks. (490 B.C.), and 10 years later Xerxes created a huge army to ambush Greece and get revenge from his father’s defeat. Xerxes crossed the Hellespont and methodically killed the Greece. He won a close victory at Thermopylae — the famous battle which ended with 300 Spartan warriors holding of the entire Persian army in a last battle to the death — and finally the Persian reached Athens and ransacked the deserted city. But the invasion ended in disaster when the Persian navy was demolished by the Greek fleet at Salamis (480 B.C.). Xerxes retreated to his palace in Persepolis; Xerxes abandoned his army which was defeated by the Greeks shortly thereafter. Persia remained a powerful nation but Xerxes withdrew from king , devoting himself to what Herodotus. 15 years later Xerxes was probably killed by Arabians and Xerxes son Artaxerxes took the crown.
At that war Xerxes gathered a vast army. Xerxes army attacked the Greeks at Thermopylae.Leonidas had a army of three hundred Spartans at the leadership of Leonia. Leonidases army fought until the last Greek fell.
Leonidas was a 5th century B.C. Spartan military king who bravely led a small fleet of Greeks — mostly Spartan (the famous 300), but also Thespians and Thebans — against the much larger Persian army of Xerxes, at the pass of Thermopylae, in 480 B.C. during the Persian Wars. According to Herodotus, Leonidas had been warned by the Delphic oracle that either Sparta would be crushed or their king would lose his life. Leonidas chose the other way.
All the Spartans and Thespians died, including Leonidas, although Herodotus says the Thebans had never wanted to be there and surrendered when Leonidas was killed. The Persian cut up the remains of Leonidases body.
Then Persian headed to Athens. The Athens couldn’t confront the vast army so they left the city of Athens. When the Persians arrived at Athens they ransacked the city and burned it down. After that it was demolished. With the help of the Athens general Themistocles the Persians were finally defeated by the Greeks in a violent sea battle. Themistocles was the general at that time. He convinces the Athena’s to spend the miners silver to build a fleet of triremes. 200 ships were built. It was a big accomplishment for the Greeks. Athens and Sparta worked together to beat the Persian once and for all. The Persian Wars lasted for twenty years. The Persian and the Greeks never fought again.
