"300"

        I hope to one day visit Greece, I have a favorite movie,”300”, that took place in that beautiful country. The main character of the movie, King Leonides, talked about his life growing up in the city of Sparty in Greece. In Sparta only the strong survive, if there were a new born baby to look weak or scrawny it would be thrown over a high elevated ground. Once the males in Sparta reached about the age of eight, they would be tested. They would have to go outside the gates of Sparta and fen for themselves. If in the process they didn’t survive, the people would know the boy was not deserving of the title, Spartan. This city was known to have warriors as citizens. The King of Persia wanted to extend his kingdom and he threatened King Leonidas. There was a man who was working or getting bribed byt the King of Persia. So when King Leonidas wanted to go to war to defend his land, that evil man didn’t let him.
      King Leonidas was smart, he gathered three hundred of his best warriors and walked to a location that would give him the advantage in winning the battles. The Queen helped her husband out by talking to the council. They discovered that the evil man was being bribed. King Leonidas died protecting his land, and because of his death all of Sparta went to war.
