History of Rome

I chose to write about Rome because its one of the places im hoping to go to when im older so…

As legend has it, Rome was founded in 753 B.C. by Romulus and Remus, twin sons of Mars, the god of war. Left to drown in a basket on the Tiber by a king of nearby Alba Longa and rescued by a she-wolf, the twins lived to defeat that king and found their own city on the river’s banks in 753 B.C. After killing his brother, Romulus became the first king of Rome, which is named for him. A line of Sabine, Latin and Etruscan (earlier Italian civilizations) kings followed in a non-hereditary succession. There are seven legendary kings of Rome: Romulus, Numa Pompilius, Tullus Hostilius, Ancus Martius, Lucius Tarquinius Priscus (Tarquin the Elder), Servius Tullius and Tarquinius Superbus, or Tarquin the Prou 534-510 B.C.. While they were referred to as “Rex,” or “King” in Latin, all the kings after Romulus were elected by the senate.

Beginning in the eighth century B.C., Ancient Rome grew from a small town on central Italy’s Tiber River into an empire that at its peak encompassed most of continental Europe, Britain, much of western Asia, northern Africa and the Mediterranean islands. Among the many legacies of Roman dominance are the widespread use of the Romance languages (Italian, French, Spanish, Portuguese and Romanian) derived from Latin, the modern Western alphabet and calendar and the emergence of Christianity as a major world religion. After 450 years as a republic, Rome became an empire in the wake of Julius Caesar’s rise and fall in the first century B.C. The long and triumphant reign of its first emperor, Augustus, began a golden age of peace and prosperity; by contrast, the Roman Empire’s decline and fall by the fifth century A.D. was one of the most dramatic implosions in the history of human civilization.

Promoting others blog

I chose to write about https://karasaemsblog2020.edublogs.org/category/uncategorized/ because we have very different mind sets but i acually found myself interested in her blogs.

I thought that her blogs were really good and well writen. They had lots of detail and interesting subjects. I really liked the ones about tattos, social media, and the mental health one. I think that they are really well said. While reading her blogs i learnt a lot of stuff about her that i hadnt known before. I think i could definitley find myself reading her blogs more often.

Wattpad

Wattpad is a free app you can get in the app store and on your laptop. It is an app for reading and even to write your own chapter books. Its a good app it your a beginer writer trying to make a carreer and  it has a lot of amazing and well written  stories.

I know i’ve hated reading all my life but i started reading some harry potter realated stories on wattpad and now i can stop. I think it the span of 4 days i have spent about 15-20 hours reading on it. I am currently reading the book “Little Bird” by:Marrisa-Lynn, and its by far, the best book i have ever read. There are 64 chapter to “Little Bird”, and i am on chapter 54. so im going to make a little suggestion and if you do get it, if your really into Harry potter, then you should definitley read some of “Marrisa-lynn“s storys.

The writers on wattpad are acually very talented in their writing ablity and their storys have lots of for-shadowing, detail, adventure. I can definatly say that since i started reading on here, i have definitaly added a bunch of new words to my vocabulary and will definitley use them in future story writing. So far, the books i’ve read give so much detail so i can get a real good image of what the setting and characters look, act, and feel like. It has definitley widened my imagination a bunch.

The app is well put together as well. When you make your account, it will ask you questions, it will ask you what genre you like then will base your feed on that for the most enjoyable experiences. And, the more books you read about one topic, it will show up in your feed more seeming as that is stuff your interested in the most.

As in 2020, over 90 million people are using wattpad. Its headquarters are in Toronto and it was founded it 2006, of November.

here is a link to a site that has posted about it and reviews:

more: When the app is trying to get to know you to see what books you like, as i said, it will ask you which genre. And, i personaly found it very difficult to choose just 2 options, so, if you do plan on getting it, here are your genre options for you to think about. reminder: the app only allows you to choose 2 but you can definitley search through differnt one in the app when in the search tap. anyways, here are your options:

Action Adventure Anime Billionaire Chicklit
Creepypasta Diverselit Fanfiction Fantasy General Fiction
Historical Fiction Horror Humor Imagines LGBT+
Mystery New Adult Nonfiction Paranormal Poetry
Random Romance Science Fiction Short Story Spiritual
Teen Fiction Thriller Urban Vampire Werewolf

my review: i would definitley give wattpad a 4.75/5 because it is an excellent app that has made me enjoy reading more than ever before, but, since anyone can join it, you could have a bunch a little kids going around and posting whatever so it think that the app should like, i dont know, review the peoples books before they are published so we know its a real book and not a little kids publishing a 4 word sentece, ya’know!? anyways, i definitley recomend you to get this app!!!
