Gladiator

Life of a Gladiator


The life of a Gladiator is bloody. His life depends on people decisions, a dumb up means live and down means kill. Every time they fight in the end they get to choose if he lives or doomed. If they like him most likely he would live to fight another day.
There are a lot of distractions in the US. Distractions to keep us always from something. They have TVs, Internet, Myspace, Phones, Cells, and Shopping. Anything u can u can think of that’s fun. It’s almost the same thing in Rome; there a lot of things they do to make them think everything is ok. Americans are different from them because we don’t cheer for people to die. We change but sometimes we do force fight to happen.
