AMAZING ACROPOLIS

Athens: 480 BC. Despite the amazing victory against the Persians in the Battle Of Marathon, King Darius burnt the Acropolis to to the ground. General Pericles was elected leader and started an ambitious plan to build a new temple dedicated to Athena (the goddess of warfare) on the top of the sacred rock. My latest trip was to Greece. Our first stop was to the Acropolis complex, which I am going to write about. We first went to the Theater of Dionysus. The Theater was dedicated to Dionysus, the god of wine, theater and fertility. The theaters in Greece have 2 plays: Comedies and Tragedies. Comedies are funny plays and Tragedies are...tragedies. our next stop was at the Sanctuary of Asclepions. Asclepions was the Greek demi-dog of healing. The sanctuary is dedicated to him. The next spot was the Odeon of Herodes Atticus. It was built by the Romans in 161 AD and renovated in 1950. The theater is still used for concerts. The next spot is  the Propylaea, the gateway to the Parthenon. It used to the connect to the Parthenon, but has been destroyed. After that, we saw the temple of Athena Nike. It was built during the war against Sparta. Athena was the goddess of war and people prayed for her to summon her powers against Sparta. The next place was the Erechtion, a temple dedicated to both Athena and Poseidon. It's most famous feature are the small statues of Athena instead of pillars. Last but not least, the enormous Parthenon. It was dedicated to Athena and had a huge gold statue of her. It was huge made of marble. After that we went back down.

The Great Escape Adventure

This is the story that I came up with for my school assignment

One day, Noah was walking in the woods. While he was walking, he heard a noise. He looked around and saw nothing. He continued walking into the forest until he stumbled upon a cave.

After walking in the cave for an hour, he heard a stream. He walked to the stream. The stream had golden water. It was -90 °F at the bottom and +80 °F at the surface. Just above him the cave was golden. It had silver stalagmites and bronze stalactites.

He continued walking, until he felt the ground shaking. Then he smelled foul odor. After that, he heard the sound of a breath, followed by a roar! Suddenly, a T-rex ran after him! He ran for his life! While running, a group of velociraptors also ran after him. Just then, one of the raptors jumped in front of him and they surrounded him. He thought he would die, but suddenly, the T-rex ran all over the raptors and ate one. It gave a roar, “AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAO!!! Noah grabbed the T-rex’s tail. The T-rex ran and Noah climbed onto its back. The T-rex ran to a light which made Noah fall asleep. 

 When he woke up he was on the ground in a magical land. The trees were red and the leaves were blue. There was a bridge made out of a rainbow. The sun was pink and the water was yellow. He saw meadows of poppies and mountains of grass. There were golden deer and the sky was red. 

“Hello”, heard Noah.”Who are you and where are you?!”, shouted Noah. “I’m a stork”, said the bird as it walked towards Noah. Noah got scared and shouted, “You can talk!”. The stork replied, “This is the future my friend, you have come 500 years in the future.” “Woah! That’s amazing!”, shouted the excited boy. “I shall take you to our kingdom”, said the stork. “Yes, but how?”, asked Noah. The bird took to the air and grabbed Noah at his feet. Off they went into the air. They flew over, past a canyon, through a ravine and over a mountain. Finally, the bird landed.

 “Follow me”, whispered the stork. “Ok”, said Noah. They quietly snuck behind a large tree. “Stop right here”, said the stork. The stork walked away.

“HHHHellllo kinggg, I have ssssomeone to show youuuuuu.” “Who has come? I shall meet them right now!”, shouted Steve the tiger, the king of the jungle. “Come here!”, shouted the stork. Noah ran there. “I see he is a human visitor form the past. Catch him!”, ordered the king.  Monkeys surrounded him, grabbing him by the arms. “Stop it!”, shouted Noah. The monkeys took Noah to Steve. “This is our problem”, said Steve.”Our planet is in great danger. Climate change, cutting down forests, plastic pollution and over population. I will kill you if you don’t help!”, shouted Steve. “I will help”, said Noah.

 

They went looking for help and peace to save the world. All the animals followed Noah. Steve was protected in the middle. Suddenly, out of the clouds, something fell from the sky. It was a paper. It said: There is a lake. At the bottom of the lake, there is a cave with a special stalagmite that will save the world if broken and taken into fresh air. “We must get it!”, shouted Noah and Steve at the same time. 

The animals and Noah continued walking. That night, it rained. They found shelter in a cave. The next day they continued walking. They felt the ground getting hot. Suddenly, lightning struck a tree next to them. It was on fire. There was fire everywhere. They ran faster and faster and faster. They were surrounded by fire. But, then it started raining. The fire was put out. 

Right above them, it was the Donald family. The father was Donald John, the son Donald Barry Jr. and the mother was Sophie Donald John. “Haha, you mindless fools, I see you got someone from the past to help you. Guess what? I’ll get there first and destroy the cave! Now let me kill this tiger now!” He shot at the tiger. The stork flew in front of the bullet and got shot and died.  Noah shouted, “We must get him!”.

Meanwhile, the family was talking. Donald John: “Hahaha, those stupid animals, they got a boy from the past to help them. “Donald Barry Jr.: “Good we killed one of them”. Sophie Donald John: “We’ll get to the cave first and destroy it.”

The animals walked and walked, day and night, for 3 days. Finally they reached a lake. “You think you would have gotten here before us? No way!”, shouted D. John. They looked up to find his plane hovering. “Launch the missiles!”, D. John shouted. A missile went towards the lake. “Stop it!”, shouted Steve. A swarm of locusts flew into the missile and broke it. “Noooo!!!”, shouted D. John. Then another plague of locusts came into the plane, sending it crashing down. A T-rex ran out of the bushes and ate D. Barry and S. D. John. 

Meanwhile, D. John got a new plane. But a pteranodon crashed into the plane. The plane exploded in the air and they dropped to the ground. He picked up a gun and said, “Do you really think you would live? No way!”. He was about to shoot Steve, when Noah grabbed a gun and shot Donald John on his back. “AAAAHHH!!!!”, he shouted. “How long did you think you were going to live?!”, shouted Noah. “I’ll end you first!”. A T-rex came behind him. D. John shot at the T-rex. It got angry and ate him and roared at the setting sun. 

Noah swam inside the cave and broke the stalagmite. He came out and all the animals cheered. “You have finally got peace”, said Steve. Noah lived with the animals ever after.
