8. Would you have followed Alexander into Persia? Write a short story telling your tale from the point of view of one of Alexander's inner circle.
Today our great leader, Alexander the Great, is leading us off into Persia. I can not wait for the expedition. I am a little nervous about dying. War can be a very scary place. I have already been through one battle and watching your friends get slaughtered around you can be a scary sight. I am especially afraid of archers and Chariots. There is nearly no defense from them. The chariots are equipeed with spike on their wheels that will rip your legs if they are in your path. YOur friends will panic and could possibly throw you in the way in order to protect themselves. War starts as a fight with another enemy but eventually becomes a fight to survive with the help of some teemates and a general commanding what you should do. That's where Alexander the Great comes in. He is one of the greatest if not THE greatest military leader of all time. I am honored to do battle for Alexander the Great. He is the son of God. There is no way we could possible die with him by our side. TOmorow we begin our march into Persian Land. I have plenty provisions and my sword is sharp. I cant wait to do battle. I will fight for all of my fellow Greeks and avenge what the Persians did to us.
