Please write a brief biography of Hannibal and explain whether or not you think his reputation (in Roman eyes) as a monster was deserved.
Hannibal grew up in Carthage. In Carthage, they taught him to hate the Romans. Carthage people hated the Romans. After he was raised in his Carthage family, he became a general. He became a general for their military. He tried to defeat the Romans many, many times but kept getting defeated by the great Roman army. He was a very violent person, and he deserved it. In one of his wars, he came out successful by creating a master plan. It was a war against the Romans. His plan was to attract the Romans to the milled portion of his military. When the romans broke through, all of the rest of the Cartage surrounded them. Even though this was a master plan, Hannibal was a bad person, and deserved all of the losses that he had.
Good job Emily! You did really well explaining Hannibal's life. I like how you used some of your education and then outside sources. Well if you did, make sure you site them! I found this website that maybe could explain Hannibal's life in more detail: www.sacklunch.net/biography/H/Hannibal.html
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of long but lists some information that you have already included, and a little more if you were interested in learning more about it! Nice job and keep up the good work :)
