In the video, I mostly noticed what a woman's life was like back in the day.  They had a very interesting life.  Unlike, the Greeks, Roman women could actually go outside but they were still very limited compared to today.  I thought it was very weird that within a single family, most of the daughters are going to have the same name.  I personally would not like that at all.  It would bother me if a parent was trying to get my attention and both my sisters answered as well.  Another thing that stuck out was that the girls got married at such an early age and they were required to wear all of the gifts that their fiance had bestowed upon them.  I like to change it up and I would not want to wear the same items everyday when I had to leave the house.  I feel like the women in this time period were still very restricted and I would not like growing up in that society where I would have been told what to do and where to go. 
 
In the past two weeks, one thing I have learned more about is Greek pottery.  I learned about the different shaped urns and what the red and black figures looked like.  I also learned about the elements of tragedy and what they are.  We watched the movie Casablanca in the past week which represents an Aristotelian plot.  In my opinion, after studying Aristotle more in depth, Aristotle was more opinionated than Socrates.  
 

My name is Natalie and I am a senior this year.  School is pretty easy this year and I am excited about going to college.  I plan on going to Oklahoma City University and double majoring in piano performance and general music education.  In my free time, I enjoy playing the piano and spending time with my friends.  I also love to go shopping.
