Friend to Caesar of Friend to Rome?

As Brutus I would have chosen Caesar over the good of Rome. This is because Caesar would have been one of my closest friends and friendship is one of the most important things in my life. As Caesars closest friend I could have persuaded him to think more like I did (Brutus). Being his friend would work to my advantages because the people of Rome look up to Caesar and listen to a lot of what he says. So, if Caesar decided to listen to my opinions then I would get to keep both my good friend and my preferred side of Rome. All in all, I choose not to kill my friend Caesar because he is a nice guy who has been misguided into thinking what he is doing is for the better of Rome.

Leaders

What are the qualities of a good leader?

I believe a good leader should be able to get along with everyone. Leaders should listen to other and try and help them.

I think Alice and Sophia are one of the 8^th grade leaders.

How do they demonstrate the qualities of a good leader?

They show good qualities of a leader because they are kind to all and help you when you have a problem. They are also in SLAMS and so if you have any idea of something you would like SLAMS to do they always try to make it happen.

Imperialism

Imperialism brought along many changed. The motivations of imperialism were based upon three things gold, glory, and god. Gold was based upon the countries natural resources and labor. Glory was based upon making your own country stronger and wealthier. God was based upon converting people into Christianity. The way many countries achieved these things was either through war or a meeting where the leaders from all of the countries would come together and come to a solution. Countries main ambitions generally changed the way of many peoples’ lives. Most of the changes made were negative ones. They were negative in both long and short terms. Short terms because people were forced into labor, long term because discrimination began. These changes suited the wealthier and white people while the poorer blacks hated it. As you can see imperialism was great for some yet horrible for others.

Goals!

This quarter I think I did well meeting my goals. My goals for this quarter were to get an A in AR and improve my spelling. I achieved my A in AR because I planned ahead and read many books over the summer so I wasn’t stressed about it when time came to take the quiz. My spelling has always been a weak spot but I think this year I have improved a lot. Although I have improved at spelling I still think there is room for even more improvement.

Next quarter I want to carry on my goals for this past quarter as well as add some new ones. Some new goals I would like to add is not to procrastinate with homework and when I do my homework I should attempt to complete it to my fullest ability. I also think it would help if I turned on the filter between my brain and my mouth more. I think I will be able to achieve these goals if I work hard and stay focused.
