1.     Hi my name is Andrew and I have been under the command of King Alexander for the last 9 years and it has been an honor to serve under his command. King Alexander is a great man for many reasons. For one thing he led our army to victory on numerous occasions and conquered many empires including the Persian Empire. Because of this he inspired many other later conquers. He also almost never lost a battle and was a great strategic leader.

     I honestly and truly believe that Alexander was great. He was great for many reasons. For one thing, he believed that he could one day conquer the Persian empire. It is one thing to say you want to, and it is a whole other to actually achieve that goal. Also, Alexander was a very young man at the time that I was in the army and the fact that he could think as strategically as he did for each battle was truly amazing. His greatest quality was his military strength and the way he thought out all of his plans. Also, Alexander was very involved in battle, he has always been loyal to me and the rest of the troops. Loyalty is one of the most important parts of being a great leader. I don't like to refer to King Alexander as "King Alexander". I would much rather call him Alexander the Great because he was truly a great man.

2.     Hello again, this is Andrew. I have returned home from many years of marching and fighting and to my surprise the Hellenistic culture has spread all throughout Greece and is continuing to spread. The Hellenistic culture is a mix of Greek, Asian, and African cultures to create one blended culture. I think that this is a good and bad thing. It is good because it unifies all of the empires because everyone speaks the same and have the same customs and traditions. It is bad though because each culture is different and not everyone wants to change their customs and traditions just because one man told them to. But I think that it is has more pros than cons because a great empire is a diverse one. 

3.     A historical figure that was considered great was Martin Luther King Jr. He was great for many reasons. He was a leader and a fighter for equality in our country. He was also one of the biggest contributors to the Civil Rights Movement. He fought for what he believed in and he did not do it with violence or harm, he did it with peace. He marched and made inspirational speeches all throughout the country for the rights of African Americans. He believed that he could make a change that could impact the entire world. This is why he is still considered great because we wouldn't have the rights that we have today if it wasn't for people like Martin Luther King Jr.
