it helps me to put some of this into perspective. we're a whole bunch of 16/17/18 year olds trying to figure so so so so many things out. most of us haven't even lived a quarter of our lives yet! there's so much good out there waiting to be discovered in life. find some things that make you...
samee omg, i legit said "the battles were not successful in the short-term, however in the long-term they allowed the Greeks to win the second Greco-Persian war through advantages gained from Thermopylae and Artemisium at the battle of Salamis" like bro so much yap 💀
yeah same, ngl for the second one i think there was a bit more (but i wasnt familiar with that part of the syllabus lol do i didnt do it), but then for the first question it was assessing victory or smth in 2/5 battles (all 5 battles are in the one dot point)
like that was so narrow what
yeah i def wrote the least for the essay, i wrote like 8 or 9 pages for xerxes, 7 for persian society, and used 1 extra page for pompeii and herculaneum, but for greek world i only wrote like 5 and a half 😭
yeah you're def right, that makes sense
ngl i still talked about salamis but i was more like "they weren't successful in the short term, but in the long term they helped them win the war"
i still think it cooked me tho
