My Writing



                Ancient Greece was a majestic place with massive cities, lush rolling hills, and calm relaxing (adj) seashores. There was a king who dwelled (sv) in a palace in a city in Greece. He was rich, spoiled, and very greedy.  [3]Conversely, there was a man named Damocles who lived on a farm outside of great Greece. He was a poor simple farmer. He had everything he surely (ly-) needed-a family, a shelter, and food.
          Damocles was feeling tremendously (ly-) sorry for himself. [3] Unexpectedly, while he was in the city, he encountered (sv) the king. “I dream every night to live like you do O’ king.” Damocles admitted.
          “Would you like to take my decorated (adj) throne for a day, so I may go on vacation?” the spoiled king asked. Damocles couldn’t believe his magnificently massive fortune.
While Damocles is sitting in the throne, he sees a sharp (adj) sword. Damocles exclaims “Let me out of this place!”
          “What is wrong O’ Damocles?” the servant questioned.
          “That sword is freaking me out,” Damocles declared.
“Oh yes, there are many people who would happily (-ly) kill the king to take his throne,” explained the king’s servant. Damocles figured out that the king didn’t live a happy or safe life. [3] Quickly, he raced (sv) to his farm, which was peaceful and calm. Don’t be jealous of others.
