Project Day 2 (the final day)

Today is the day I've been waiting for since the beginning of the week. The week has been crazy. Tuesday felt like a Friday, Tuesday felt like a Wednesday and Wednesday was a lot of up and downs. Thursday just killed me. I was just thinking that can it just be Friday already. Friday was the best day. I don't know why I was so anxious for this day or just wanted to get the week over with. The work in Western Civilization is getting to the process of getting finished. As a group I think we did fairly well. I think I wrote a good amount. This is what I wrote: Jobs in Greece depended on the ranking you were. If you were a politician, you were a higher class,  like an aristocrat. You got more money and fame, but most important, you had to be a male citizen. If you were a slave or working for someone, you were a lower class.  If you asked someone for money and didn’t pay them back, you could possibly be a slave and work for them in order to pay back the debt. The higher class male citizens would meet up  in the agora. The agora was a meeting place where the male citizens could discuss ideas and others would come and sell. A citizen in Athens was a free adult male property owner in Athens. The leadership would work as a monarchy. When the leader dies, his son or another relative takes over his rule. Oligarchs are the people who were dissatisfied with the aristocratic rule. They seized power with military help.  ¼ of Greece’s land was arable or suitable for farming, therefore people would be a farmer and provide the crops for their family or sell them to others. The Greeks were very healthy, so eating fruits and vegetables was in there daily diet. Others would be in the Greece army and protect their country. They would take care of there polis, a city state. The job you were in Greece had an impact on how you were treated and the “rank” you were in.
Yes, I know I just ruined the fun of reading my part of the project but I have to do what I have to do. I spent my time and I put work into this and I hope I get a good grade!
