Reflection of Alexander the Great

1.) Alexander obviously took a different approach on taking over cities, and overall ruling. He did it simply, while respectiong his peers, and in general people. He took ruling to a whole new level meaning ruling, while being respectful. Alexander was obviously a very ambitous person, which made him strive to meat his goals, with great pride. I like how alexander mixed cultures, and beliefs together which taught him a lot. I think a reason he didnt conquer his goals as he would have likes, is because his expectations were so high it was very hard to accomplish them.

2.) I think Alexander would be more succesful if he prepared, and treated his body as needed. He obviously didnt put into consideration the 12 wars in 5 years was way too much for almost anyone to take. I think his body weakened as the time went by which made it easier, and more likely for him to catch an illness, which lead to his death of his high fever. He should have stopped, instead of kept going untill his body couldn’t take it any more.

3.) Libraries are a huge way of entertainment, documenting history, and learning to this day, but even bigger a while back. Imagine being able to read a whole history book back then. It’s such an amazing oppurtunity to be able to read, and learn history, while being entertained.
