There are many differences between plebeians and patricians. One main difference is that the plebeians are lower class citizens. The patricians are a higher class then the plebeians, however there aren't near as many patricians. Plebeians make up most of the population in Rome. The main difference is the class they were in and the wealth of them.

The Ancient Greek cities
Were all quite separate.
Athens, Thebes, and Sparta -
Each was a different state.
These city states sometimes
Decided to unite,
Like the time when Persia
Came to pick a fight.

1) In Ancient Greece, there were two main types of drama. Humor was a crude humor less serious type of drama. Tragedy was a more serious type of play with more love, death, and hate.

2)b)Movies today have many, many woman roles. That wasn't allowed back in Ancient Greece. young boy or sometime grown men would play the role of woman instead of actual females.The physical storyline of the movies today vs. the plays in ancient Greece could be very similar, but the films today are much, much better due to the editing and being able to record it and get It perfect instead of doing it, in person.

3)This Theater was a semi-circle, and was elevated so everyone could see the stage. It was also open, which meant it was exposed to the elements outside. The actors would preform in the middle of the pit area, and the only way for people to hear them is to talk loudly, since of course there were no microphones or speakers.
