Today in history our announcements went on like usual. 
We went over the Napoleon packet and talked about Napoleon reaching his zenith or peak. And how the french mob said : "Haaa! We're the royalists rebels!" (Elizabeth Gomez). 
At 1:35 we learned that wars before Napoleon's time were called gentleman wars. Is it just me or are those two words that should not be in same sentence? Also, we learned that "Napoleon stole the Mona Lisa." (Lauren Nuchols). 
At 1:52 Mr. P told us all these different quotes by Napoleon. "A picture is worth a thousand words" (Eugene Kang). The only reason Napoleon said that was because he would have a picture painted of the battle and himself. I guess that big ego is a compensation for something. . .  his height.
