6Pearson: A Day in the Life of Ancient Athens

A Day in the Life Of A Slave! By Ella Anderson I wake up to Brandon screaming 10 different tasks at me. The only one I heard was “Make me breakfast.” Once I got a little more awake I rolled off the dirty rotten ground, and walk out of my room and made his usual breakfast. He always had porridge and berries. When I was just finishing up Melisa walled out of her room. She told me we were going to the farmers market after we finished up our breakfast. Around 1 minute later Brandon walked out and Melissa told him that we were all going to the angora. It took us 15 minutes to get their. As we were walking around the market there was a slave holding a rope that looked like it had red paint on it. Suddenly it hit Brandon in the back of the leg. “Congratulations” the slave said as he was walking over. You get to attend the Assembly, and if you don’t attend you will get fined.  Alright see you tomorrow. “Alright let's go back for lunch.” Brandon exclaimed When we ...

One day I woke up to my master yelling at me to get him a drink. So I did. My master also made me get him some food. I also had to bring the female citizen wherever she wanted. The male and female citizen made me do whatever they needed. I also had to fan and get a drink for the male citizen when it is hot. But one time I didn't do what he wanted me to do so he abused me and then they kicked me out. A new family picked me to be their slave and they treated me way better than the other family. But they still made me do lots of stuff and even worse. They made me dig out all the rocks in their backyard and they didn't hurt me as much.

A Day in the Life Of A Slave Just like any other day I woke up on the floor and got ready for the day. My master Jim demanded “Izah go make me food!” “Will do.” I sighed. I spent the afternoon in the agora and cleaning the house. A day in my life is quite repetitive and ordinary. Wishing to be with my family and spending time with my friends was also a part of my routine. daydreaming about things I would’ve done if I wasn’t here working for some random family not even blood related gets me upset sometimes. I wish that I could be born in ancient wouldn’t have to put up with my master. Even though the masters wife is very nice I still want to see my family. My family was born in ancient Athens but they were on a trip for a week and I was born earlier than my due date. So I was born in Italy, when my parents and me came back from Italy to Athens they said that I could become a metic but my parents didn’t have that money. So my only choice was to become a slave. I’ve bee...

A Day in the Life Of A Male Citizen Ahhh what a wonderful day at Athens with birds singing in the sky and me and my wife buying a necklace at the Agora I found a person selling a necklace for only ten drachmas. I went up to the person with my wife and bought a necklace with beautiful shiny gems. I went up to my wife and gave it to her. She puts it on while walking back home. While walking back home with my wife I remember we needed horses so I took my wife back home and I went back by myself. I walked back home to my slave preparing my lunch and my wife waiting on the table. I sat on the table beside my wife, I rang my bell and my slave came walking in the kitchen with our food. He puts the food in front of us and me and Debra a te. Minutes later I went back outside in the sight of a slave carrying a red rope. As time went on I found the same person carrying the rope and I thought I’ll never be picked so as I went back home a rope with red paint. Yes, I got picked to be in the l...
