Brutus's Dilemma

If I were Brutus and I had to choose between my friends and my country, I would have to choose my friends because I think I would like to see where my friend could take Rome and what he would do with the country. Even if Caesar started to hurt Rome I think I would have a close enough relationship with him to change his opinion like Cassius said in 1:2:329. But then there is my standing with the people that I have to keep up like in 2:1:47-60. I understand fully that my decision could be the wrong one, and there could be very bad consequences but I don't really think that if things got really out of hand I could not do something to stop them. So in the end I think I would have to side with Caesar.

Leader

I say the qualities of a good leader are someone who has influence in other people and can make people do what they want in a non-violence way. They also usually have experience and have a good idea of what they are doing. Another good quality of someone who is a leader is they are friendly and make friends easily. They usually have a funny and outgoing personality. I really think Aysha is a leader in AES because she has a good personality and is very friendly. Another person is Sophia because she has this way of getting people to do just what she wants people to do. I think I am a leader because I am so outgoing.

Imperialism

As the different spokes people were talking I realized that Britain seemed to do almost the almost same thing in every country they conquered. They conquered for land, resources, protection, glory, religious reasons, and because they could. The British usually came into power using the military and then shut off the countries economy. Once they did that they started to force the people to make them items they could send back to England to make into products and sell back at that country. they usually tolled the country they were just helping out and would leave soon but then never did. They usually left the country in turmoil and left them to fend for themselves. They also left with people starving and usually took slaves. But Britain did help India and the other countries as well. They usually built schools and taught many children how to read and wright in English. They also built dams, bridges, and canals helping the country. Usually the public health also greatly increased. So overall the British usually did the same thing everywhere they went.

End of Quarter 1 Feedback

I really think I hit on to my first goal because I read about four books this quarter and i am very proud of that. I also became better friends with Casey and Alex which finishes my second goal and last but not least I greatly improved my vocabulary an d reading skills. I am very proud of myself and hope to become even more confident.

My goals for second quarter are, I would really like to help myself become a better speller, I want to become a more confident writer, and lastly I would like to write very meaningful and professional blog entries.
