"The apple doesn't fall far from the tree." Hint: An apple is a fruit that grows on a tree, the apple tree. When it falls, it doesn't fall far from the tree. In many ways, when people describe children, they notice that when children become adults, they resemble their parents. Or, in history, if one country (the "mother country") founded a colony, the colony looks very similar to the mother country. Copy the quote and write what you think it means for everyday life.
"Rome wasn't built in a day." The most powerful and important civilization for many centuries of the ancient world was the Roman civilization. However, this civilization didn't start out big and strong, but only as many families living in group. Over time, these families grew, more families joined, and this people, called the Latins, were ruled by other people, called the Etruscans. Eventually, the Latins became their own rulers. In a few hundred years, the Romans had one of the most powerful empires in the world. |
