Conflict Between Friend and Country

The dilemma that Brutus faces is between his friend, Caesar, or the good of his country, Rome. If Brutus chooses Caesar he lose the trust of his country and someone would probably kill him. But if he chooses Rome, he looses a great friend and becomes the ruler of Rome. Caesar dies anyway so if i were in Brutus's place i would choose Rome because he would have power and victory. He will make friends along the way and most of the time enemies. Life does not end when you loose one friend, move on with your life and learn your lesson from it.

Leaders Among Us!!

I think that a good leader should be someone who:

• takes control
• listens to other people's suggestions
  
• organized
• responsible
• has fun but knows the limit
  
• is not selfish
• knows that the decision he/she makes affects the people who work for them.

Aysha is a great leader in the school, she fits all of my characteristics. I am proud of her!!!
She takes control when their is no leader and always lets people give their input. Aysha has fun but when its time to be serious, she gets down and dirty!

Case Studies in Imperialism

Motivations:
Resources, land and the power of who go's through the Sues Canal was some of the gold. The glory was land and power. There were no gods because religion was not an issue in this situation.

Methods:
The methods that the British used was to use the Sues Canal as a way of taking over Egypt and other countries. Another method was states frighting and war. A British company signed an agreement with the Persian rulers to develop oil fields.

Changes:
The Persians rebelled against their ruler - who was corrupt- and the growing influence of the Europeans. In Persia, Russians and the British competed for control of local power. Britain controlled Egypt after they had money troubles and could not complete the Sues Canal.

Reflection for Goals!!

My goal for quarter 1 was to read more and to read higher level books. During the quarter, I managed to achieve the goal of reading more and by the end of the quarter I was reading a book my mum and dad recommended to me. It's called Master of the Game and If Tomorrow Comes both by Sidney Sheldon. They are mystery books and have great adventures in them. Time flies when I read these books, so they must be great books to read.

My new goals for quarter 2 are:
1) To get a B in humanities.
2) To get all my TMTU's in one lesson.
3) To do my homework the night it was given.
