Rome Sacked/ Falls to Barbarians

I wil be interviewing King Alaric of the barbarians. Date September 24, 410.

Emily- Hello King Alaric!
King Alaric- Hola!

Q: so the word is going around that you have something to do with the sack of Rome, can you tell me about this?
A: Yes, i would be happy to! about a year ago we surrouned Rome to take over, us barbarians kept demanding goods and cut off all trade from Rome. This went on for a about a year until a month ago and we decied to take over. we destroyed everything in Rome and killed many of the people.

Q: What do you think will happen to Rome in the next few hundred years?
A: I think that they will go in a so called "Dark Ages".

Q: why do you think this?
A: i am thinking this because the people now do not feel safe. we took away and destroyed the creat city. when people feel safe they create and express themselfs. now no one feels safe. i will say that this is a hard loss for all the people in Rome but a great acomplishment for the Barbian people.

Emily- Thanks

Alexander the Great

Hello my name is Emily and i will be asking questions to Alexander the Great. Date February 17, 332.
Q: Alexander what do you think was your greatest achievement?
A: Hello Emily! Thank you for interviewing me. The greatest achievement I think i ever had was defeating Persia about a year ago.

Q: Why was defeating Persia so important to you?
A: Defeating Persia was impsotant to I Aledander the Great because the east meets west and becomes one. The Hellenistic culture comes from this defeat. More woman rights come out. Also major conquest in Asia.


Q: What is the Hellenistic culture?
A: Hellenisric culture is a blend of Greek and local cultures mixed into one. I think this was a big step because this is the first time the Western culture is spread. i started building Greek cities with theaters and public place to help spread this culture.

Q: How do you feel about the gain of womens rights?
A: I think it was good for women to start taking charage, as long as they are not stronger then me!;)

Q: Did you have any other great achievements?
A: YES, the other achievement i think was very important was Egypt. This was a big deal because i just rolled in there and took over. no one got hurt. The people of Egypt even ended up naming me Pharaoh.

Q: How do you feel about being named Pharaoh?
A: Im just cool like that.. what can i say? haha

Emily-Thank you Alexander for letting us ask you these questions!
Alexander- Anytime!!

Reporters note: Alexander died 11 years after this was published in 323.
