Jack and Annie meet some Gladiators on the streets of ancient Rome.
Gladiators were slaves or criminals who fought in the amphitheater.
They were forced to fight each other or wild animals like lions
or bears. The people at that time thought a gladiator fight was
great fun. They viewed it as a kind of entertainment.
Question 1:
Do you think it is cruel for both humans and animals to fight each
other? Similar kinds of sports, such as boxing and bullfighting
in Spain, are still popular today. What do you think of that?
Question 2:
The volcano in Pompeii was so quick that people had to drop everything
and run. We could see what their lives were like. If you had to
suddenly leave Hong Kong, what would your home and school show people
about your life?
