The Worst Day of My Life

I don't even know how I'm typing right now because of how upset I am. If you have not heard yet, one of the most important and loved members of One Direction has left the band due to depression. It's the best thing for him but I'm still very sad for him to go. I thought I should share that but in other news we finished up the projects in class today. First was Veronica and Adam telling us about the mythology of Greece. Greeks were polytheistic and their religion was developed around 700 BC. These gods and goddesses resembled human form and showed human feelings like anger and jealousy. The major deities of the Greek Pantheon were Zeus, Poseidon, Athena, Aphrodite, Hera, Demeter, Apollo, Artemis, Ares, Hephaestro, Hermes, and Hesita. Zeus was the God of the sky and is the King of the Gods. He over threw his father for the thrown and he made his sons compete for it. Poseidon was the god of the sea and was forced to build the walls of Troy as a punishment but later destroyed them with a sea monster. He controls the oceans and waters with his emotions so you wouldn't want to sail on Poseidon's Monday. We went over all the other Gods but I'm going to skip to one of the most important Hades. Hades was the god of wealth and the ruler of the underworld and he myself is not the representation of death. He was one of the three major gods to the Greeks. Then Parker, Dylan, and Jeremiah went and talked about the Government of Greece which we have also have been studying in regular class. We discussed Aristocracy and the birth of Democracy and then after that we took some notes from Mr Schick's power point. We discussed the famous philosophers of ancient Greece and how they are still influential today. Tomorrow I think we will continue the notes on Mr Schick's powerpoint. Until then good luck to Zayn.
