He woke up in the middle of the night, sweating profusely and trembling in fear, all because of his interview tomorrow. Alexander was a 25-year old who was valedictorian of his high school, graduated top of his class at Stanford University, and now studying law at Columbia University. Despite all his great achievements, he believed that his life was just about to begin. The difference between him and regular law students is that in his short span of life, he experienced great pains due to his parents. His parents didn't care for him and kicked him out at age 18, which caused Alexander to appreciate everything given to him. As the bright sun rose from the ground, Alexander groaned into his pillow. He was dreading this day, even though he believed it was the start of his official “life”. Due to his traumatic childhood, Alexander always had low self-esteem so he never realized …show more content…

He used to be sweet, humble, and grateful for all the things he had but soon had changed as he gained too much confidence by winning every case in court despite his young age. During the short time, he had been in Sanderson, Johnson & Lenox, he had risen the numbers of the wins in court by 60%, which created the opportunity for him being the youngest business partner the law firm has ever had. Alexander went on with life being evil, greedy, and conceited, but that soon changed as a new female intern named Michelle Winsley came to work for him. Michelle was like the old him and it made Alexander think but not enough to change back. While working together, they both developed feelings for each other and then they started dating. The first year of their relationship, Alexander was almost like his old self again and their relationship was beautiful. As they got more comfortable with each other, Alexander changed back to his bad personality again, which caused them to fight almost every

Based on this quote, it shows that Alexander’s early life wasn’t the best. This is shown by the fact his dad left, and he had to get a job, most likely to help out his family with money. Later in the article, the author writes,” In 1774-1775 he wrote three influential pamphlets, which upheld the agreements of the Continental Congress on the nonimportation, nonconsumption, and nonimportation” (DeConde). The author says this because it shows that even early on in his life, he was trying to prove himself. It is clear that Alexander knew he had a hard life, and he wanted to improve how life was going to be in the future of the United States.

In Parallel Lives by Plutarch, he portrays Alexander the Great as an outstanding moral individual and an excellent leader of his people. Although Plutarch illustrates Alexander as a wise, compassionate, and ambitious individual, his defense of Alexander against the people who think of Alexander as a bad leader is weak and inefficient. Plutarch’s defense of Alexander’s fallible qualities, such as his drinking problems and his apathy to his people at the later part of his life is questionable and easily disproved, weakening his argument that Alexander is a truly admirable person. The majority of the beginning of Alexander is dedicated to the description of Alexander’s background and his experiences as he grows up into a mature and ambitious

I focus on the challenge that his father Phillip left him. "Philip and his friends looked on at first in silence and anxiety for the result, till seeing him turn at the end of his career, and come back rejoicing and triumphing for what he had performed, they all burst out into acclamations of applause; and his father shedding tears, it is said, for joy, kissed him as he came down from his horse, and in his transport said, 'O my son, look thee out a kingdom equal to and worthy of thyself, for Macedonia is too little for thee' " (Alex. 6.8.). He was lead to believe that the cause of His life was to be the greatest leader and conqueror of all time. Alexander the Great's legacy is both far reaching and profound.

The conquests of Alexander the Great during the 4th century BC undoubtedly transformed the ancient world, bringing people of foreign lands into contact with Greek ideals and customs that spawned a unique Hellenistic period of both decaying and generative traditions. Despite the historical dramatization of Alexander, emphasizing his charisma and intellect as being the driving forces in creating an empire of a size that had never been imagined before, the contexts of cultural tension between Greek and Persian societies, a fractious Greek political state, and civil strife from an overpopulated Greek world greatly supplemented Alexander’s inherent traits in clearing a path for him to rise and embark on a path of conquest in the pursuit of eternal

As his tutor, pushing these views upon a young, impressionable Alexander would have been inconceivable. I have one more example before you speak, son, and that is the trip to Siwah. Although there is a large degree of uncertainty of exactly what happened when he consulted Ammon’s oracle, I focus on the reasons for the visit and the effect it had on Alexander’s own self-perception. I believe Alexander visited the temple not only to outdo his predecessors but to create an elaborate account of his divine origins21. It seems that after this visit he began to associate himself with the Egyptian god Ammon, even goes as far as claiming to be a son of his.
