modes paragraphs

My project is about ancient Greek and roman culture and war. In relation to this

subject I picked a film, fictional book, song, and a piece of artwork. The film that I chose

to relay this topic was “Gladiator”, a film by Ridley Scott. This heroic film is about a

warrior whose family is killed by the roman emperor. He is arrested and subjected to the

lifestyle of becoming a roman gladiator, fighting for his life. I believe that this film

displays a reality that happened back in that time period. And a good source of close to

truth as possible, my next choice was the movie “300” but that was about Spartans not

Romans or Greeks.

The book that I chose was “The Diary of Cleopatra”, this book also deals with the

Romans. For example Marc Antony, and Caesar, in the book Cleopatra goes to Rome to

ask for help from the emperor forming a love triangle between the emperor and the

fighter Marc Antony. When she finally goes back to her beloved Egypt the Romans

invade Alexandria and kill her sister, restoring Cleopatra back to the thrown. Although

this book did not have Greeks in it, the Romans did a great job of fighting in it.

Next is the song I chose to represent the culture and war. The song I chose was

“fighter” by Christina Aguilera. This song is such a great representation on never backing

down and fighting to get what you want out of life and other people. She sings about the

difficulties she had to go through to become stronger and get through the hard times and

making others the victims.

As for my artwork, I chose the model of Greek Bireme of the Trojan War 1250

B.C . It shows the advances in technology in the structure of the ship. The thought

process it must have taken to realize that all the ores must row at the same pace or rhythm

or the rowing is screwed up and could quiet possibly die.
