- 146: Life In Ancient Greece 2

Homes, public buildings, and temples were where people gathered for conversation and to buy food and crafts at daily markets. Citizens also lived in small villages or farmhouses scattered around the city-state's countryside. In Athens, more people lived outside the city's wall than inside. Houses were simple, containing bedrooms, storage rooms, and a kitchen around a small inner courtyard, but no bathrooms. Waste was dumped in a pit outside the door ...

The times, in which wells and Golding lived in, reflected on what was written in each of their stories. Wells lived in a time of peace and stability, as there hadn t been a major war for 30 years, which was in 1865. This had an impact on what Wells wrote about in his story.

In a blinded study published in 1989, researchers found that children who had lived at least 75% of their lives near Love Canal - the notorious toxic chemical dump - had significantly shorter stature than children who lived farther away from the dump site.

A previous (1984) study had shown that children who lived near Love Canal had abnormally low weight at birth. The following year, another study confirmed low birth weight in children born to parents living near Love Canal. There does not seem to be any ...
