The Time Warp Trio

Today in class we watched a video called Time Warp Trio. The video was about the ancient Greek Olympics. The Olympics was a time where Sparta and Athens could compete without having a big war. And one of the rules are that if you lose a round then you die. Another rule is that girls were not allowed to participate in the Olympics. In the video there were two boys; one is Sam, and the other is Fred. Also one girl named Samantha has a book that can take you through time travel.

One of the boys, named Sam, made Fred fall while taking a picture and ended up spraining his arm so he did not get to play in the baseball game. Now they are all eating lunch at the diner and Sam is bragging about how he made the winning goal. So when Samantha gets up to go and get a drink, they start messing around with the time traveling book, and they just keep pushing all the buttons until they end up in Ancient Greece! And when they get there they end up being part of the Greek Olympics. So then Sam gets sent to a diner place outside to time warp and meets a the guy who is really supposed to be in the Olympics instead of Sam and Samantha. His name is Glottis.

Now Samantha is about to fight this really big guy named Simplex. And his weakness is seeing his own blood, so Sam gives some ketchup to Samantha so that when she is out there fighting, she can squirt some on him, and he will get scared and fall. When you fall that means you give up and lose. But soon Achilles realizes that it is not blood on his arm and goes back to fighting. While they are fighting Samantha's hat comes off and reveals that she is a girl!

Meanwhile Fred is back at the diner and Glottis is telling him how if he goes back an hour in time then none of it would ever happen. But he realizes that he would be giving up the time he made the winning score in the game. But he does it anyway, and then before he knew it, Sam and Samantha were back in the diner talking about the big game, except this time Sam was also talking about how he made some scores!

In the movie I learned that the reason they ever had the Greek Olympics is because it was a time were Sparta and Athens could compete without having a big war. Another thing I learned is the rules and penalties of the Greek Olympics, like girls were not allowed to compete in the Olympics because they thought that boys were better than girls (which is not true!!!). And that's mostly what I learned about the video.
