I’m going to miss Rome like crazy. It’s been here for over 1‚200 years and just like that‚ it’s gone. The Roman Empire was such an astonishing place I just know it will influence other cultures for centuries to come. I love everything about Rome but the things I’m going to miss the most are their architecture‚ their law‚ and their science. From the flowing water of the aqueducts to the gladiator games of the Colosseum‚ Roman architecture was a beautiful thing. I truly do believe that Roman architecture

Dark Romantics or Transcendentalists? Is there good in evil (transcendentalists)‚ or is there evil in good (dark romantics)? I believe in both of these statements dark romantics and transcendentalists because people in this world do awful things that affect others but in some way they do things that can help our environment and our society. Such as not littering‚ cleaning up at home‚ and many other decent things. We have our marvelous side with a bit of evil that isn’t shown much. For example

Vastness of the Dark into a surprisingly vibrant story that progresses in stages of hue and colour‚ as opposed to what is suggested by its title.
