Assignment 6:Create Your Own Adventure- Noah Welch

Prompt One: What would you do if you were King/Queen of the World?

Prompt two: Discuss your ideal government, use examples and try to relate it to the real world.

Prompt three: Discuss your favorite historical leader.  Explain why he/she is your favorite. Name qualities that make him/her a good leader.

My favorite leader of all time is Julius Caesar. This is because Caesar was smart, talented and courageous. He was also a brilliant politician who was able to manipulate the Senate to obey his wishes. Caesar conquered the Gauls and wrote about his adventures. These stories helped Caesar gain the support of the people of Rome.  Julius Caesar was said to be extremely intelligent and a good orator. When Caesar made speeches people listened. People were inspired by Caesar to do great things. Another thing that makes Caesar impressive, to me, is the fact that other famous commanders such as Napoleon have studied his work and thought.   The thing that I admire most about Caesar is the fact that he was able to seize power and run an empire, despite the wishes of a corrupt Senate. Brilliant leaders such as Sulla and Marius were destroyed by the Senate, but Caesar prevailed and went on to lead the new empire into a new era. Unfortunately Caesar was assassinated by the very senators he tried to control. However his legend lives on. Caesar was a brilliant bold and daring man who changed the very core of one of the greatest civilizations of all time.
