Murder

In latin class, we are reading a story called, Murder. It is in chapter XXI, 21, in our Ecce Romani book.
The story Murder is about two guys, Aulus and Semptimus, who take a trip to Greece. One of which stays at a friends house, the other stays in a inn. Back then, staying in an inn was like sleeping on the streets, very dangerous. While Semptimus was asleep at his freinds house, Aulus appeared to him in a dream. In the dream Aulus said that he needed help and that the innkeeper was going to murder him. Semptimus woke up panicked, but then remembered it was only a dream. He quickly fell back to sleep and again Aulus appeared.

Aulus said, " You are to late, I am dead and the innkeeper has hidden my body."

Semptimus soon woke up. He went to the inn in the morning to see Aulus, and come to find out he had been killed. Gruesome, but true.

After translating this story, I noticed something that caught my attention. That was the stories creativity and vividness. Although it is in Latin, I have  realized that they use adverbs such as, slowly or gently, to describe a characters movement. This really helped me picture the scene of the story, and what was really going on because after all Latin is difficult to understand.
