GATES OF FIRE
CODE

My predictions were not accurate at all i thought they were going on happy ever after but no they got slaughtered and they killed Leonidas also cut his head off his dead body and put it on a stick not to mention it was a custom war that you can have your dead back but no he just had to brake it what a shame. One of my predictions was right i predicted that there will be a glorious war and how the Spartans warriors would kill at least thousand or more and that's how 300 men killed millions. I think my prediction on them wining the war, or Xerxes at least giving them respect and saying i will leave you alone but remember I'm the one you answer to or something like that but like i said he just had to kill them , but what really happens is that Xerxes really didn't care about any thing but killing Leonidas and taking the hole world for his army also his kingdom.

GATES OF FIRE
book 7-8
"But you must tell me now,before i seal the papers and dispatch them."
i chose this because it made me think how Leonidas didn't really trust Rooster and how Rooster was called a trader but came through for every one just think they were going to kill him.
The author really thought of the reader in mind because he made it fill as if you were there i felt like the war was won as Rooster told you their plans.
"In that case," the helot said, "I look forward with even greater anticipation to your death."
I chose this quote because it makes me think of how me and Joe talk at school like he always says he will kill me in wow and its like in a way that we are not angry but may the best man win thing just like this.
The author made you fill like you were there and i could really relate to this also i am going to read his other books because his writing is amazing.
"Some 300,000 including Oronets himself and the ten thousand immortals."
I chose this quote for one reason only how did Xerxes d all this and the immortals are are quote unquote immortals i don't believe that they were immortal and just a said note i would of heard there names and ran lol.
I believe the author made his point with this quot because it makes you step back and say wow no not w.o.w is the bet thing i every seen like so unreal that's why i think the author made his point
"The enemy stood, invincible in the might of their missile fire"
When i read thiss i was thinking modern war then it hit me there were catapults to fire flame balls or shards of flaming blades like engineers make for there war, i guess it was modern for then and it is cool h it worked if it works like i imagined it.
I chose this quote because it really brought something new to the table for war with all thees place's.
