Comics on Romulus and Remes

         Today's class was pretty entertaining...Mr. Schick wasn't there (maybe he is going on tour with M. Schick Lamar)...so Mrs. Magner subbed for us. We had to pick a partner and work on a Pixon cartoon to explain the myth of Romulus and Remes. Romulus and Remus is a story about twin brothers who were abandoned by their parents as babies. Their parents sent them down the Tiber River and a she wolf found the basket when it washed up on land. The wolf raised them for a little while before they were found by a shepherd and his wife.The shepherd raised them until they were adults. As adults, Romulus and Remus found a city where the wolf had found them. They argued over who should rule the unexplored land. Romulus eventually ended up killing Remus so he could obtain the noble position. Romulus then ruled the new city named it Rome after himself. This however is just a myth. The beginning of Rome was much less exciting and it took much more time to put together.Victoria and I worked together and our comic is pretty amazing so far. It was pretty fun to make the comics too. Hopefully we will be able to use this website more often.
