Free Day (Yay)

There's not that much to write about for today's blog as we didn't do much. However, because I want the points, I will write about it anyway. Today in class we played jeopardy. Well, we just kinda watched jeopardy and answered the questions. We chose a candidate to represent Nick due to the similarities between the two. He lost by a lot. He finished the game with no money. It was awful. Complete manslaughter. Just brutal. Not even close. He was 10k away from the closest competitor. It was hard to look at. Just awful. Sad. It was very sad. A toddler could've done better. He should've just stayed home.

A poor attempt at poetry

The Athenian Plague As the darkness fell on the land, so too did fear. So sure to win the war the Athenians had boasted, how could they have foreseen the horrors to come? Struggling, reaching desperately for their thirst to be quenched, a cruel joke it played on its victims. Pain, distraught, suffering until its victim reached their dying breath. Panic, fear, hopelessness to those who had evaded the Plague. How could anyone be brought to endure such pain? It starts with just one, one person to be sick. Then it becomes ten, ten people to be sick. Then it becomes 100, then 1000, then before you know it mass graves are being built. At least I, living thousand of years after this happened, would never experience an incident like this. Surely now, a plague so great could never happen.

The plague that hit Athens vs. COVID-19

The plague that hit Athens and COVID-19 share a few similarities. When the plague hit Athens, the people panicked, a lot. It is said that they held no regard for the law, nor for behaving honorably. We can see a few people acting like that right now. Fights breaking out over toilet paper, panic buying, and in some cases, even thefts all show the disregard for not only following the law but also for common etiquette. One difference would be that everyone took the plague in Athens very seriously, even to the point of abandoning anyone who had it; many people assumed they were going to die. While there are a lot of people who are acting rational and self-quarantining, there are also a lot of people who are not taking this seriously enough and are still going out in public. I heard a story the other day of a beach in Florida that was filled with people who didn't care about if they spread this epidemic. During the time of the Peloponnesian War, people didn't know a whole lot about
