Gladiator, by David Franzoni; fiction, pgs. 150-160

In these pgs., just as they were about to leave the arena through the gates, two praetorian guards appeared to surround them so the gladiators put down their weapons, and kneeled. Commodus, the new emperor neared toward them with a big smile, Maximus found a small spear head, and just before he was about to kill the emperor, Lucius the little boy appeared in front of him. so he didn't kill the emperor yet. He was just about to leave until guards stopped him, he was to tell who he was, he had no choice but to, so he did, and amazement/ silence swept the crowd. Commodus was mad, and almost executed him, until the crowd stopped him. They booed him out, and let Maximus live. Later that evening he screamed his madness out, like a child.


I thought it was funny how he screamed his madness out, and when the crowd booed him out. But I do have to say, it does really use descriptive words, again to describe the setting, and what's happening. I love this book, It's enjoyable. At least, for me.My favorite part was of course, when screeched his anger, like a child.
