First week of July

Hello ! I'm Harald Winter 17yrs old and a fourth year highschool student.This is my first time to create a blog because this was required from my english teacher to write a journal about what I had expirienced and learned every week.Let's start,I had many things learned in this first week of July,I had learned about a blind poetry in Greece and his contributions,this poetry is Homer.He got blind because of a accident but their was no explaination of what accident caused of his blindness.Homer's countryfolks calls him "The Poet".His two epics are Iliad and Odyssey.The Iliad showcases the passions found in and the cruelty war.It is a story of heroism and love.The Odyssey speaks of great adventure.

I had also learned about the difference of Rome and Greece like their religion,currency,government and etc. I also learned that olympic games started in Greece and Greece was also known in the world because of their art and litreture.Greek's(people who lives in Greece) art are divided into four major forms:architecture,pottery,paintings and sculpture.There is no sculpture of Greece that is comparable to other sculpture in the world;there are no buildings in the world that is more admirable and more beautiful than buildings in Greece;and all litreture of Greek's are all in supreme,that's why Greece are known by the world because greek's talents in architecture,sculpture,paintings and litreture.The capital city of Greece is Athens.Most of the peol

ple in Greece speaks english.About their religion I learned that 98% of the population in Greece are Orthodox.On my english time in my school we watched the movie entitled "Troy" it was so beautiful and educational even its little SPG.Its shows the history of Greece and Spartan.The main character was Achilles role played by Brad Pitt,Achilles is the most strong and dangerous but a gentleman warrior of Spartan.The movie also tells that spartans dont easily give up during wars,even their chance of losing are more than their chance of winning ,they will still think for ideas how to win their battle and achieve their goals together.I recommend you to watch this movie to learn more !.This week also made me tired but fun because I go to at 5:30 in the morning cause I had a duty of community service in my school,I help childrens bring their heavy bag to their classroom,but i'm not the only one doing this cause i'm with my friends who are also leaders doing this and when it's 7am I had the opportunity to teach filipino at a grade two section because their teacher was absent.Even the children are noisy because all they want is to play they still learn because sometimes they'll be quite and listen to their lessons.At 8am i'll go back to my room because my lesson starts at 8am.Yesterday,I had also expirienced a "boodle fight",we were a group of twenty-five(25) persons eating on a banana leaf using only our bare hands.It was fun and the food was delicious.It is a celebration of having a good performance being a leader of all fourth year students..I hope you enjoyed reading my first blog :D
