Introduction to my Journal
|
Posted at 17:30 EST
|
In this journal I shall tell of Romans, both famous, and infamous. From the Rich, to the poor, and more. Listen clostly to my tales, and much you will learn... Bring out the wine, and the food, and the history. So that you know, the tales are made into Three parts:
1: The title, which tells the name of the person;
2: The lifespan;
3: Interesting facts. What biography, however brief, is complete without these?
This is a educational journal. Some people have less information than others, and some have quite a few. All entries can be read in any order |
