Greek Legacies pre-write |
I think a legacy is a tradition that is carried on through the ages. I want my legacy to be exactly like my grandfathers, ambitious and outgoing. I would also like to be remembered for being a respectable and intelligent individual who was very caring.

The Greek Legacies
My Greek Legacy was literature. Greek literature was the best of all the legacies because without it you couldn't write anything down. You use writing to copy designs down for pillars, to record scientific information, and to preserve history. Literature also gave early people an way to entertain themselves and their peers. So in conclusion, our legacy was the best.
In the United States literature played a major role in history. Everything that happens is recorded and preserved. We also have thousands of different literature works and thousand of authors who write stories to entertain the public. Literature has also been transformed into plays, skits, t.v. shows, movies, and so much more. |
