Thomas' post

 Questions 1 and 2
Alexander has been taking good care of all of us very well. Everything has been much better ever since he took over Phillip II’s place. Our kingdom has become very powerful. He has been scene great by everyone forever. He was a young 20 years old when he became leader. He was taught geography, science, and literature by Aristotle. He is now a ruthless leader. His first conquest was an attack on Thessaly, which restored the Macedonian rule. The attack also solidified his father’s treaty to unite Greece. Just a couple of years ago he defeated the Thracian's penetrating to the Danube River. Just a couple of days ago I overheard some soldiers talking about how he has started the war against Persia. He has the largest army to use in the war. He has a total of 48,500 soldiers. Aristotle had taught Alexander to appreciate Greece’s culture. He was going to use terror and kindness to conquer his empire. He said if anyone resisted that he would burn their town down and that all of the people would be sold into slavery. He also pointed out if the city state surrendered that he would let them keep their government and Alexander would rebuild their damaged property.

  1. In your post, you pointed out that Alexander was young when he came into power. Then you backed it up with how he is now ruthless and informed us of how he came into being the leader that he is. That is a very good point and helps to show how Alexander has progressed into being even greater!
