  2. What I learned yesterday in the gym was that the North had the most advanced weapons more than the South and that the guns took forever to reload that's why a lot of people got killed.What I liked was whenever we got to keep on throwing the dodge balls instead of just throwing it once.

  3. What I learned yesterday in the gym was that the north & south where very different from each other because the North was more advanced than the south they had more things such as weapons, and materials they can use to enter fear with the south so its like they had more things then the south
