Imagine if i am a roman slaves forced to fight in the colosseum the things i would do as a gladiator before is to pray the god or the statues before going in to fight because the god would give me a good luck. They have to train me everyday so i could be strong and tough because the other gladiator is tough and strong too. the harder they train me the better it is because i could win and if i win i get a reward.

If I were a gladiator writing before a fight... not knowing what the future holds I must admit I would be scared out of my wits. I would write... "I don't know if this is the last thing i write. I have prayed to the gods already and hope this is not my last fight.
I want to have the opportunity to have my freedom! To see my kids at least once more and my wife as well... this can't be the END.I have not spent this much time to die now... Why am i so nervous?
I have to suck it up and win! My pride is too overwhelming to ask for more training. That is if I live this I will try to become stronger and get my freedom..." I imagine that as a gladiator they would be naturally scared. If I were one I'm sure I would be too...

Writing as a gladiator before a fight, I would write many things, starting with my family. Since I don't know if I will live after the fight, I'll probably write about how much I love them and how much I want to see them and how I want to grow old with my wife by my side. I would also try to motivate myself by thinking of how much I've trained and how hopefully I will win and finally be free from all this chaos. If I die,I will die with pride and dignity. But for now, I'm just scared gladiator about to fight for my life. May the gods be with me.
As a Roman slave , bound to fight for my life, freedom and the entertainment of others, I'd write: "When Apollo lets the sun shine, I will wake up to face my destiny. I have prayed to Mars and Jupiter for strength, courage and success. I have spent the past week training to become stronger, and be able to achieve freedom. Fearful thoughts run through my mind, I fear I will never see my wife and children anymore. Things are hard around, and the slightest mistake could cost my life and all I have achieved. If I am to die tomorrow, I will die fighting for my freedom, family and name. I hope my strength doesn't fail me, now I must rest to at least enjoy the dawn of a new day."
ReplyDeleteI think that I would naturally be scare because you dont know if that day will be you last. what if that day I loose everything; my life,my chance in freedom,and my chance to see my family again. I would write about wanting to see my family before I go and fight because that could be the last time that I see them. At the same time I have to keep my head up and think more possitive.I have to tell myself that I do have the possability of getting out of this and that I will be able to get my freedom.I will write about how I am scare but I will try my best to be victorious

ReplyDeleteImagine you are a roman slave forced to fight in the Colosseum... If i was a roman slave and was forced to fight the thing that i will do is to pray to our god and goddess to give strength, and luck. I will also be scare because i might not see ma family or friends for the last time. Not also i wont have a chance to see my family but i wont have my freedom. But if i win this battle i will gain my freedom and be celebrating the freedom that i have gain.

If i was a roman slave forced to fight in the colosseum, the first thing i would do is pray to god that i would surive and not get my head chopped off. i would also pray for strength and luck. i would think of my family and friends because it might be that last time i see them. As a gladuator i would fight my best so i kan earn my freedom. i would have to win all my battle so i could have freedom and see my family and friends. i would train hard so i wouldnt get killed and when i am ready to fight i would think about some one hurting my family so i can fight my best and chop some heads off.

If I was a Roman slave forced to fight in the colosseum, I'd do what i have to do. You honestly have no choice, yu either fight & die , fight & survive , not fight & die. I would pray to God, I'm a suirviver & think about all the good & bad times that I've been through regarding my situation. Just go fight,

I would probably be scared and excited i would love to go into combat and feel that rush. I would like to see how long will i survive if i am skilled enough to survive or if i shall die in an instance. It would be a great experience, i personally think i would be excited yet scared, and i would try to communicate with my family to say how much they mean to me ,but if i am strong enough then i would be released and free to do what i want.

First i would pray to god to get me out of this situation. Then i would try to think of a way to break free. If that didn't work out then i guess i would have to fight in the colosseum. Even though i would be terrified. And i would also pray to god and ask him for strength.

Thoughts of craze rush my mind as I am about to walk into an arena of covered with blood of those who perished in the hands of a true gladiator. Thinking that my blood will be in the arena floor fear strikes my face and the faces of everyone else around me. Then i realize, "Hey I am here for a reason and this is why I will be victorious this is what make me a gladiator.

If I was a gladiator I would enjoy everyday of my life, but I would't think too much about dying. I would spend time with friends and family and I wouldn't make them worry about me. I would also prey to the gods to wish me luck and strength. I would do my best in every battle I am put in and give a good fight.

Before my fight, I would pray to the god of war, Mars. I would really feel pressure while im out in the colosseum. I would write a letter to my family just in case I would die. And if I die in my fight, then that would be my destiny.
Before my fight, I wouldnt pray to anyone. >.>
ReplyDeleteI would just face the fact that I may live, or die. And ill just have to fight my hardest If I want to live, and be a free man. I'll just try ever way to survive. Like throwng sand in his eyes or something like that. BUT YES, I will try my best at fighting.

Before I die i too will pray for God to save me from this fight. And that after this fight I would like to see my friends and family. It is my duty, my destiny and it cannot be changed. So therefore I must fight for freedom.

Before my fight as a Roman slave forced to fight in the Colosseum I will pray to God to save me and not let me die. Another thing I will asked is to give me strength so I can fight for my freedom. However if my destiny is to die then so let it be.

If i was a Roman slave/gladiator forced to fight in the Colosseum, i would firstly pray to god before every battle. Hope that i will survive and keep living my life. Ask what i have to do to earn my freedom, and try as hard as i can to accomplish it.

i think that the most important right man has is to be free to express what he thinks about a theme. the most important right is also to be free to work how they like, because there is nobody who can make them work harder if they dont want. in general the freedom is the most important right.

The most important right man possess is freedom because each person has the ability to do whatever they want. With people having that ability, people could speak out there thought that could lead to new ideas like invention, politic,etc... In addition, I think freedom is something important for humankind.
I would be very scared knowing this could be my last time fighting.The things I would write down is tell everybody I care for that I love them and that this maybe my last time having a conversation to them because am going to be batteling in the colosseum. I wouldnt write much all the exitment wouldnt let me I would just be thinking about how em i going to stay alive.

To begin with, the most important right man possess is the freedom for everyone. Without freedom this world would change and be different. With freedom people could speak out and say whatever they want to without people answering back. Also with freedom you could speak out and end up making new things or inventions for saying what you need too. Lastly, i think freedom is an important factor for or society and mankind.

One of the most important right man posses has to be freedom of course. Without freedom we cannot do anything. When we go out to the streets and can go to where ever you please, thats freedom. The freedom of speech is also freedom, if you want to talk bad about the president do so because they can't do anything about it. In other countries if you try that your screwed pretty much.
I think that the most important right man has its his freedom. without freedom everything and everyone would be different. Man wouldn't be able to express themeselves, do the things they like, say anything they want, etc.. Freedom is something that you earn more and more as you get older. and you have more rights to do things you like as you get older because you are more independent and you have your freedom but you also have to learn to use it wisely.
ReplyDeleteIf I were a gladiator, I would be so scared to fight because this fight depends wether I live or die. So what I would do is that I would pray to the Gods and ask them to help me while I fight. And pray to the Gods that I dont die or somethng

ReplyDeleteWritting as a gladiator before a fight would be really intence. I would right about many things especially my familly. It would have to say that as im going into this battle no matter wat happens that for them to always love me and remember me by someone great.I would also have to pray wishing that everything goes right and i dont die ofcourse.

ReplyDeleteIf i were a gladiator, I would be very scared because i might have to fight other people that are stronger than me. I would pray to god so he can give me strenght and to don't feel scary, that I can do it. I would also feel excited because of the weapons you use. I wouldn't like being a slave beacuse i don't like to be pushed around or getting whipped by the bosses.

If I was a roman slave forced to fight, I would be thrill and freaked out at the same time. It was be very hard to fight against others that are bigger and better than me. I would rather be the one fighting for my life then be the one thrown in to be killed. If I had a chance to be there it would enjoy every moment. It would amazing to be learn skills of fighting and have the crowd cheering. The type of rush you get right before walking to your death. Just being able to listen to people screaming, slaves around you talking about how life WAS, even just proving your strength. Being a gladiator would be such an amazing and life changing experience. =]

If I was a Roman slave forced to fight in the Colosseum I would give the best of me in order to win that fight. I would think of every move I do before I go out and fight. I would pray to god to help me and be alive for one more day.

Before i go out to the colosseum, i would certainly practice and pray that everyday i get better, stronger, and faster as i play with the sword. I'd take my techniques in value as god gives me the strength and i do my actions. I'd also tell my family ( if i had one) that i love them and will fight for them, and if i die... they will have to face a surprising fact that im dead.
If I was a Roman slave forced to fight, I'd write two things. A prayer for my family to be safe in case something were to occur to me during the fight and a letter written to my family showing them my love for them & prayer for LUCK; you never know if you go into the arena and fight and simply never come back out alive. Living life as a gladiator isn't an easy task. You constantly have to worry about how your going to survive inside and you have to forget about everything else in order to fight a good fight. I'd write about my long days training, fighting and stressing about the day it all comes to an end .

Till this day, i have live my life. Now the question is, what is left of it? I now fight as a slave for particularly no purpose but to survive. What is the true meaning of this? Maybe ill define myself as a warrior, or maybe even a gladiator. As we all know though, as i walk out those gates looking to the eyes of my careless opponents, only time will determine my fate.

If I was a Roman slave and I was gunna fight in the colossiem I would train very hard 2 fight for my death. I would make them train me harder because the harder they train me the better and more hungrier I am to kill. Hopefully the gods are on my side when I step into that arena and help me bring a victory home to my fellow Gladiators. Before I go inside I'm going 2 pray to the statue of the god infront so I can have goodluck and win my fight. I am going into that arena alive and I'm coming out of the arena the same way I walked in .....

US History 1
The most important right a person could ever have must be the first amendment of the US Bill of Rights. It contains the freedon of speech, press, assemble, and press. These are all helpful for someone who wants a say in our government or to even protest against it. With these rights, a person is almost impossible to be stopped, but there are other laws to stop or limit u to a minimum and in some sense, takes away some of your rights.

If were a Roman gladiator. Right now I'm praying as I train before being sent out to the field. I need to be my best right now if i don't want to lose my life. My friends all around me, as nervous and sweaty as I am. When I hear the gates open I enter to a state of shock.
