Plutarch's Lives

Plutarch's Lives is a book about Greek people. Most of them are in wars or are jealous. Some of them are royalty. And there is adventure and much more danger in Themistocles, Pericles, Astrides and Alcibiades adventures. Themistocles wasn't entirely Greek, but his story started in Greece and ended in it. Plutarch's guess is that he's probably half Greek and half Thracian. Themistocles had many attempts on his life. He was an Athenian.
Pericles was Greek and royalty. He was taught music by Damon . He was also very wealthy and proud. He is Roman by birth.
Astrides was a rival of Themistocles and always accused of things he didn’t do. But
their rivalry was forced to end when they fought barbarians in defense of the Greek
city , Attica. He enjoyed parties and festivals.
Alcibiades’s grandfather was Ajax, who fought in Trojan and Greek war, better known
as the Illiad. Alcibiades was proud and wealthy enough to by a private army. Some people would ridicule him in public, like Aristophanes. He was also taught, like Pericles
to play the flute and is Greek by birth.
This is about all I know about Plutarch’s Lives about Themistocles, Pericles, Astrides, and, Alcibiades adventures, wars, and their many journeys in ancient Greece.

My dog, Ikaika

The first thing you might say, or say to yourself about Ikaika is ''He's cute.'' That's what the Vet says. He is cute, but he's naughty and pushy. When ever he barks a lot he thinks he can go outside and play. He's right but he's also wrong. First, he's right because we have to take him outside to use the bathroom, second he's wrong because sometimes he wants to go outside and play.
Now I'll describe him. Ikaika is a light brown/tan medium-sized dog with his front paws white and brown eyes. He's male
This is what I know about my dog, Ikaika and what he looks like. I have one more thing to say if you don't have a dog yet : Watch out, dogs are trouble.
