Gladiator

            Commodus was the son of the emperor Marcus. Commodus went to Rome because his father was very sick. “He will name me as Emperor” said Commodus. But Commodus is an evil man. His personality is very evil. He did many bad things in the book Gladiator. He is an evil man because he is jealous, he killed many people, and he is a liar.

            First, Commodus is jealous of Maximus. Marcus loved Maximus like a son. Commodus thinks Marcus loved Maximus more than him. He asked his father, “Why do you love him more than me?” After the battle Commodus saw Marcus with Maximus and was filled with jealousy. His father put his arms around Maximus and did not put his arms around Commodus. Jealousy is a very bad feeling for people. It causes people to do very bad things.

           The second reason why Commodus was an evil man is because he killed many people. He killed his father. He held his arms around Marcus very tightly until he died. To kill your father is a very terrible thing to do. Also, he told people to take Maximus to kill him. “Take him as far as the sunrise and then kill him,” said Quintus. Quintus was told from Commodus to kill Maximus. The soldiers also killed the Maximus family. Also, Commodus had gladiator fights in Rome after his father stopped the tradition of gladiator fights. Commodus killed many people.

          Finally, Commodus was an evil person because he was a liar. He did not say the truth about two important things. The first lie was he said Marcus died in his sleep. After Maximus asked how Marcus died Commodus said “In his sleep. The doctors say there was no pain.” This was not true. Commodus killed his father. The second lie was Commodus told the Senate that he was the Commander of the Roman Army. Many senators believed Commodus did not say the truth. Telling the truth is very important in life. Many bad things happen if people do not know the real truth. Commodus was very evil because he lied many times.

            Many things Commodus did were evil. He was self-centered and he did not become upset when he did bad things. The bad things he did were kill his father and he said he was the emperor. Also he killed Maximus family. Commodus father loved Maximus more than he loved Commodus because Commodus was evil and he did not trust him. He was an evil man because he was jealous of Maximus, he killed many people, and he was a liar.

Healthy Fast Food

        Many people like to eat fast food because it’s delicious and cheap. However, it’s cause of obesity in the article Healthy Fast Food it shows us some step we can flow it to make fast food healthy ‘’ Many fast food meals deliver enough food for several meals in the guise of a single serving. Avoid supersized and value-sized items, and go for the smallest size when it comes to sandwiches, burgers, and sides.’’ You have to avoid big size when you order fast food to reduce calories in your meal.  It is  rich in fat that can cause disease for most people and affect the heart in adult people. Many people because of their work and they do not have the free time they go to fast food restaurants without thinking about their health, but if they stay away from fried chicken and french fries, it can be less risk of them. Also, to stay in  a good healthy doesn’t eat fast food every day. In addition, parents have to teach their children about risk fast food in their body and it’s not healthy food because many kids like fast food. For this we must know what to eat and how to eat and when to eat, because we cannot say that this food cause obesity and other does not lead to this, we can eat all kinds of foods and do not deprive ourselves of them, but we have to know the amount of food intake albeit low-fat or free of sugar and increased the quantity for the needs of the individual, inevitably will lead to an increase in weight. In my opinion, we can make fast food a few calories, fats, salts and more useful if we replace white bread in brown bread It provides us with fiber and vitamins found in wheat, replace cheese and mayonnaise full fat little fat or indispensable, and choose baked potatoes, grilled instead of fried.

What would you do?

                                                     What would you do?

        In chapter 6, many people from the town go to the church once a mouth to celebrate the birthdays of their children. Since most people don’t have enough money to pay for a birthday party, the priest has the party for them. During the party, Jim is with his family and he sees Mike and Sara at the docks having an argument. Sara is angry with Mike because he will not let them go to the birthday party for the children. Jim interferes with the argument, and Mike and Jim begin to fight each other. Mike and Jim both should have made different choices to make the situation better.

        First, I think Jim did the right thing to interfere because he was trying to help. I think he was worried that Mike would get very angry and hit Sara. Mike and Jim are good friends, so Jim thought it was okay to interfere. Even though Sara and Mike were angry that Jim interfered, I think it is good that he did because it was ruining the party for the children. Everyone was watching and listening to the fight.

         Second, if you were Jim, I would have done the same thing to help stop the argument. One thing I would have done different is when Mike asked me to stay out of the problem, I would have respected him and left. Cerasini writes, "This is between husband and wife, Jim', Mike said angrily" (Cerasini, 28). Jim did not leave, so I think that this was not right. Jim wanted to help Mike and Sara solve their problem because Mike is his close friend.  

          Finally, if I were Mike in this situation, I would not try to hit Jim. Jim is a boxer, so he is very strong, and he knows how to fight people. Also, hitting dose not solve problems. Mike should have walked away from the situation, so he would not be angry anymore. Sara was very angry with Mike and she says, "Why don't you fix your own family? What kind of father are you? Too proud to let people know that your daughter can't have her own birthday cake..." (Cerasini, 27). This made Mike very angry and disrespectful to his wife.

         In conclusion, I think that Jim Braddock did the right thing to interfere. He was trying to help Mike and Sara. He was also trying to stop the fight so it wouldn't ruin the party for all of the children. However, he should have been more respectful to Mike. I don't think Mike should have acted the way he did in front of every one. He was disrespectful to his wife and to Jim.
