Gladiators


Gladiator fights distractions the Romans from all their problems. In our modern day the TV is the distractions from our problems. The gladiator were slaved, criminals and Christians. Gladiators were also forced to fights with each other and animals. Americans today are a little the same from the Romans because when a person fights now in modern days, he people that are watching the fights lets them fights. In Romans when the gladiator fights they also let them kill each other.

Gladiators...


Gladiator fights distracted the Romans from all their problems; which isn’t to smart. Modern day sports distract America from all their problems. For example; boxing is like gladiator fights because it involves fighting with one another. So we haven’t changed much since the time of the Romans. People, like me really like violence. People now days are a little different, because we don’t see people killing each other. Just fighting with each other.



Do you Like Violence? Why?
