I would rather live in Sparta. I would live in Sparta because they are fierce and strong warriors and know how to fight. Also women and girls were treated the same as men in Sparta which is good cause they don’t in Athens. I wouldn’t want to live in Athens because girls don’t get taught as much as boys and they could never leave there houses alone. I want to be free and be able to fight so I choose to live in Sparta.

I would rather live in Sparta. I say this because of a lot of reasons. My first reasons is that I am a girl, living in Athens, I could not vote, own property, or even go out alone. I would even manage the household. In Sparta, the women could own property and re-marry if they decided their husband was gone for too lang. also because ALL CHILDREN were given a good education and taught to fight at the age of 7, girls in Athens weren’t given a good education at all. My last reason is that in Sparta women have all decision power, this is why I would rather live in Sparta than Athens

I would like to live in Sparta.In Sparta girls learn how to read and write.Also girls learn how to fight at a young age.You would be treated almost the same as men.In Athens women have less rights then men.You are usually married around 15 (Athens).If you're married and your husband is in war if he is gone for to long you have the choice to remarrie.

I would rather live in the Athens because in Athens boys education is learning, reading, writing, etc. Another reason is girls where able to cook, clean, spin thread, etc. So the boys and girls where taught good. Also not many slaves, and they where born into or captured in wars; skilled workers, that mean't they where taught good to be in wars. That's why I chose Athens, as where I would rather want to live at.

I would want to live in Sparta because because first they treat women and men with equal rights. Second because slaves could buy their way out of slavery. Also because girls were able to be taught more than house work all kids were taught to read and write even though it didn’t matter much

i would want to live in sparta because most people are free. Like, the slaves get to buy freedom and the woman are allowed to guard and do many things. The secound reson why is because girls were allowed to do things. In the Athens you can only cook , weave, and do house work. in sparta they used heavy bars that nobody can reach or carry. In the Athens they only had coins that anybody can steal. That is why i choose Sparta.

I would live in Sparta rather than Athens. The reasons why is because in Sparta I get to learn how to fight. So I can stand up for myself and my city. They would also teach me to read and write. The girls did not suffer pain but boys did. I could also own property and I could remarry. The Athens girls were taught to clean and cook and I could even learn to read or write. Why would I be in place where I didn’t have freedom This is why I would live inn Sparta and not Athens.

The Greek city-states I would like to live in more is Sparta. The reason why is because girls have more rights than in Athens. They were expected to be strong and fight. They also, would have to guard their property during war time. The second reason is that all children were trained to fight at age 7 and taught to read and write. The last reason is that Spartans liked farming and conquering other people. They also, produced goods.

If I could live in Ancient Greece I would live in Sparta. I would live in Sparta because In Athens women don’t have rights. I also think that if I lived in Sparta I would be thought of as an independent and strong person. My last reason is that military training seems interesting and awesome.

I would like to live in Athens over Sparta because it is more like my life now. I learn, play an instrument, and more. Also I would have to start training at age 18 instead of 7 like in Sparta. The act of trading to get things can let you get good things often if you have a more valuable object or money. Also, less likely if I become a slave there I would still have kind of equal rights like everybody else. That’s why id rather live in Athens then in Sparta.

I would live rather live in Sparta. I would live I Sparta because of how most men were soldiers. The land seems to me. The reason why I say the land is safe is because everyone was able to fight/protect themselves as well as their country or in this situation- city. Also when it comes to basic education ALL children were able to learn. By that I mean they were able to read and learn which to me is very important. Sparta was powerful; they conquered other people for their economy. Would you want a weak government or a strong government?

I will live in Sparta because women and girls have the same rights as men . Women in Sparta will be treated fair and not unfair. The economy is better than the Athenian economy because there idea is smater by having big iron bars so no one will be able to seal their money.There education was better they taught the boys to be braveand for the to have more rights.That why Sparta is a better place to live.

I would live in Sparta because woman could go out the city. The boy's were tought to do gymnastic's. Men said that the women could do what ever they can do. The Sparta place is guarded by really buffed soilders. The soilders are brave and tall and strong because they possed the that is diffuculty to the person that they had time to wait.

I would rather live in Sparta because women lived the same as the men and they could own their property. There are many more slaves than citizens. Also, all children learned how to fight at age 7 but boys suffer pain because they have to be brave. This is why I rather live in Sparta.

I would rather live in Sparta because the girls had rights. They were taught how to fight. Also, they were able to remarry if their husband was at war for too long. They were even allowed to own land, and thay could speak in public.

I would rather live in Sparta then Athens because i would like to become a warrior. Even though i can get punished if i fail, i will take the chances. Also, if i get married, my wife would be as equally free as i am. Unlike in Athens, my wife wouldnt be as free as me. She will have to stay home all day. That is why i chose to live in Sparta.

I rather live in Sparta because I am a girl and in Sparta I have many rights and in Athens I have no rights, if I lived their I have no rights I would have to clean , work all day, and do everything for the men. Also in Sparta I could remarry that’s a good thing because when my husband goes to war and I really don’t want to wait that long. Also women in Sparta are equally valued as men and I really liked that. That’s why I want to live in Sparta not Athens.

I would rather live in Sparta than in Athens because in Athens the women not treated equally as men, but they were in Sparta.Women were taught to fight in Sparta. In Athens women were useless only good for making children. In Sparta slaves could by their freedom instead of staying slaves until death unlike in Athens.

I would rather live in Sparta because. The women have more freedom and could go out alone. Also because woman were equally treated. The last thing is that we could remarry. That is important because if I want to have kids and my husband is at war for 7 years. I will not wait that long and if he dies or get kills . That is why I would live in Sparta because women are free and not captured.

I would choose Sparta. Sparta would be better because if you are a slave you can buy your way out. Women are treated fair, equal, and they are strong and have equal rights. The Spartans were all taught to do things like fight, read, and do math. At age 7 they were taught to fight which is good they can get strong and become good fighters defend them selves and get what they need. They also use iron bars as money so people wont steal things. They also have good rights and many people. That is why I would choose Sparta.

I would live with the Athenians. I would live with the Athenians because they honor there enconmy. They trade, they use coins for money, they value art, culture and they really value thinkers. I also like thier education. The boys learn things what i like. For example math, wrestling, gymnastics and music. Last i like how they treat the womans. Its way better than the way how the spartans treat them. They cant leave the house without protection and they managed the house hold. I would not like to suffer or go to the miltary. This is why i would rather live with the Athenians.

I would choose to live Athens because of the benefits of a BOY. I would get to learn how to fight. Sparta is simple too. Women get to do a lot and the men only have to fight. I would actually want strength more than smarts because I will be tougher.

As a woman, I would rather live in Sparta. Spartan women and girls had more rights, were educated and were allowed to leave the house. They had regular physical training and their lives would have been more interesting than those from Athens. Sparta would have been a very safe city-state too because of their strong military.
