MY READING

I am reading actually an interisting book the name is Cleopatra. For me this book is cool becaause show me the ruler of Egypt abd contributed Cleopatra as a fascinating historical figure and how can we learn about universal hisstory.

I think Cleopatra was the great queens that the ancient Egypt because she was so smart to get her goverment and control the city. She tried to get the power and people adored her because she was really stronger to fight or waging a civil war.

Cleopatra was born in 69 B.C. in Alejandria, Egypt. Her name means "her father's glory ". She lived in the royal palace and she was grewing up and learnig about the conquests of Alexander. Cleopatra was not only powerful woman, Arsione II, wife of Ptolemy help to her husband to control the city. Romans were very critical of the freedom adn enjoyed by Egyptian women. They also criticized the power exercised by Egyptician queens.

I think this book help to contribute about the history of world and how important is the powerful of control to the big cities.

  1. Hi, Gabriela!

    I loved reading your piece! I think it was an awesome choice to write about Cleopatra and her strength as a ruler, in spite of how women were treated in those times. I like the way you organized your essay, ending with the contributions of the book.

    I suggest you go back and edit, thinking about whether your verbs agree with your nouns. Also remember to keep your verbs consistent- if you are writing about the past, make sure that all of your verbs about the past are in the past tense. If you are talking about the present, keep your verbs in present tense. I will talk to you about this in class today.

    Keep on writing and working hard! You're doing great!
