I am Alexander the Great.I believe that I can make a world wide state where all people live together in peace. I wonder if I take Persians in my army, I can unite a group of fighters for my state. I see me and my army marrying women to form political alliances. I hear Persian rulers are treated as gods. I feel like dressing in Persian fashions and following Persian customs to unite my state. I touch and cut my soldiers hair to make sure our enemies cant grab them in close combat. I am not sure my idea will work because things haven't been working out as I hoped. I worry about the Greeks and Persians getting along. I cry because my father was killed while pursuing an attack on Persia. I understand that Greece wanted to be treated the same as Persia.I say we name 16 out of the 70 cities, Alexandria. I dream that the breakwaters protect my cities and docks.I hope to see my cities advance in trading. I am Alexander the Great.
