rome actually seems fun... i did not see this coming?????!!!!

6RileyO said...

Going through the tyrrhenian sea was good because there where no anemies and the path was shorter also.
Following Remus to rome was a horrible idea becuase he has a poor country and the other people don't like you now.
Sneek under the walls and through the city it was a good choose because you didn't atract any attention to yourself.

4Rose Kellogg said...

I made the wrong decision on which way to sail to get to Rome because I ended up on the other side of the country away from Rome.

I made the wrond decision on how to get back into Rome when i was kicked out, i chose the elephant and it made too much noise so that I attracted people and they threw bricks at me.

I made the right decision when i took my smelly shoes off and pleaded for them to let me in because they felt sorry for me and let me in.

I made the wrond choice when i went on the patrician path because i didn't know that they were rich and someone hit me and another threw water all over me.

I made the right decision when i hid behind a fake bush because i had glue in my pocket and glued leaves to me to sneak out.

4Kellogg Rose said...

I made the wrong decision to sail through the Adriatic Sea because i ended up on the other side of the couontry away from Rome.

I made the wrong decision to enter Rome again by riding an elephant because it made so much noise that people came and threw bricks at me.

i made the right choice to take off my smelly shoes and plead for them to let me into Rome and they felt sorry for me and let me in.

i made the wrong choice to go on the patrician path because i didn't know that they were rich and they hit me and poured water all over me.

i made the right choice to hide behind a fake bush because i had a glue stick in my pocket and a glued leaves on myself to sneak out.

I chose to go to Rome with Romulus. That was good because he named Rome and it was his city.

I chose to go to Forum to find the emperor. That was bad because emperors don't go to Forum.

I chose the Plebeian path. That was good because I am not rich and I would have suffered gravely.

I chose the Appian way. That was good because I got to stay safe and build roads.

I chose to stay in Rome. That was good because I stayed safe and learned more about Rome.
