Did Aristotle lead the way? He went to a good school, his teacher was very renowned, and he did really well in school! He thought some things and had ideas that led the science world for centuries! He was a world renowned scientist,( I mean in the tiny world they knew about) and he was just trying to figure out the world around him. So, do I think he led the science world? Yes. I think he did. But, that doesn't mean I think he did a good job. When he put an idea out there, I bet people were like, "Hey! This guy Aristotle had this idea about the universe! He was well educated and he was Plato's student, I think I believe him!" I don't blame them! I am sure they were trying to figure out what to believe themselves! But it really blocked real scientific growth from happening because when a different scientist would figure something out about the universe that didn't go along with what Aristotle said then they would totally reject the idea and not believe him. Here is an example: Aristarchus was a scientist that lived about a century after Aristotle. Aristarchus was a brilliant guy that figured out that the earth revolved around the sun!! He also said that the sun was bigger than the earth! He also said that the moon was about one third the size of the sun! But, of course that is not what the great Aristotle said. It can't be true! But is was!!!!!!! He was mostly right about those things! It took 1,700 years for people to come to there senses and realize that Aristotle was wrong! So, I think that Aristotle did lead the universe, but I think that is was unfortunate that he did because it blinded the science world for centuries. Aristarchus view of the universe ^^

I would definitely choose watercolor! I love the way watercolor looks! I love to paint with it! I would paint a temple. That shows me what the most important thing is in my life which is coming closer to Jesus.
What is the difference between the ocean and the sea? First off, the ocean and the sea are NOT the same thing. The ocean is bigger and makes up most of the world, but the sea is a smaller body of water. I mean, the sea is still pretty big, but the ocean is (way) bigger. The sea is mostly surrounded by land, but the ocean isn't. The sea and the ocean can touch, but the sea is the part that is mostly surrounded by land. One pretty obvious way to tell the difference is by the name; the Pacific ocean, Mediterranean sea, Atlantic Ocean, Black sea. If you look on a world map, the smaller bodies of water are the ones that are called seas. Look on the map that is on this post and find the oceans and the seas. You will find that the seas are smaller and are more covered by land than the ocean.
On page 60 the book talks about Odysseus sneaking into troy by dressing up as a household slave so that no one would recognize him. I do not think that is cheating. How would that be? Is is possible to cheat in a war? Are there any rules? I don't know of any. If there are, I want to see a rule book ;) Sneaking and dressing up to learn the enemy's plan I think is all part of war. I think it is smart! I mean, they won the war! I think that if you are going to war you better plan on sending spies to find out what the enemy is doing! If you don't, you might lose!
