Gladiator Night!
Since IGNITEyouth is having a Gladiator night tonight, I thought I would do a little background information answering any questions you may have.
Usually in English class we are told to use who/what/when/where and why? when doing research on stuff, so that is what i am going to do with the help of Google of course.
1. Who are Gladiators?
According to IMDB Russell Crowe is/was a Gladiator. (Incase you don’t know, IMDB also known as the Internet Movie DataBase and it (obviously) tells you about movies…)
2. What are Gladiators?
Wikipedia informed me that a Gladiator was an armed combatant who entertained audiences in the Roman Republic and Roman Empire in violent confrontations with other gladiators, wild animals, and condemned criminals
3. When were Gladiators?
1st century BCE, 2nd century CE and the 4th century CE. I wonder what happened to the 3rd?
And for those of you who don’t know what CE means, it means ‘Common Era’ here is the Wikipedia Link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CE
4. Where are Gladiators?
Ancient Rome/Roman Empire and all that Jazz.
5. Why are there Gladiators?
To entertain the King/Queen or Important people.
This is Russell Crowe as a gladiator:
So I can’t promise you that we will actually look like this at IGNITEyouth, or that we will try to kill each other for your entertainment. But one thing I can promise you is that you WILL NOT regret coming along to IGNITEyouth tonight, because it is going to be a blast!!!
So I know that you are now cancelling all other plans to make sure that you will be here at 6pm at the Church.
Keep Smiling : )
