Dear Humanities Kids,

If you missed today, we completed the following:

1. JOURNAL #6 " A FRIEND TO ALL IS A FRIEND TO NONE"
Plato's words have merit and validity, don't you think? What does he mean? How can a person be friendly to everyone; yet, not actually have any friends? Do you know people like this? Explain?

2. We completed discussing the Hellenistic time period in relationship to Greek sculpture.

3. We also discussed the significance of Alexander, the Great! You can decide if you think he was "great" or not?????

4. We then discussed Sparta and Olympia.
