Biblical tradition told of a Messiah that would come to restore and save the Jews. Jews believed that they would be saved by this Messiah. Sometime around 6 and 4 B.C., Jesus; a Jew, was born into the town of Bethlehem in Judea. Raised in Nazareth in northern Palestine, he was baptized under John the Baptist.

I am not really sure what to put into this blog because I wasn't really here mentally or emotionally first mod. I hope to get back on track with my schoolwork next Wednesday or Thursday and finish out the year strong.

SICK I am pretty sure I have food poisoning from whatever I ate last night so I was not in class today. That is it so yeah!

MORE NOTES Today we took more notes, however, I forgot my notebook so I cannot record any of them :) While taking notes, we talked about the bombing in Syria and how the world 'is going to end' (supposedly). Then we talked about how a bakery refused to make a cake for a homosexual couple and how the case is trying to climb its way to the Supreme Court.

Well I am in no mood to impose my beliefs and opinions at this time so I'm done.

The people's shock at this horrible family and their terrible behavior made them NEVER want to be subject to the rule of kings EVER again. This was an attitude that lasted for centuries. Rule of Kings is replaced by the rule of two consuls ("gotta be better than one"). Consuls are elected officials term of office: One year Always aristocrats (Patricians) Patricians chased their descent from a famous ancestor, or pater  ("father") Duties: Dealing justice, making laws, commanding the army. One consul could veto the other; reducing the power of the individual. Fifth century BCE- patrician dominance of the government was challenged by the plebs ("people"). Plebs were 98% of the population. Plebs had to serve in the army but could not hold office. Plebs were threatened with debt slavery. Plebs had no legal rights Plebs were victims of discriminatory decisions in judicial trials.

POWER POINT Today we took notes from a power point about Rome. We learned about the Italian peninsula and about the Etruscans. I will write in my notes next week some time because I forgot my notebook and I am already on my way home.
