Julius Caesar

The Life of Julius Caesar

By:JJ

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Julius_Caesar

How much do you know about Julius Caesar? Well you can find out some more about him by reading this biography. You will learn much about him,his military career,death,some of his amazing feats and his strange ways.

Julius Caesar was born July 13th 100 BC. He grew up as a great general but ended up fighting the wrong people. He started a civil war in his own country! Another Roman man named Pompey beat him once in the Roman Civil War but Caesar came back and beat him. Julius Caesar almost always let the people he beat live and would “pardon” them and ,in a way, put them in his debt. A lot of the Romans he beat in the Roman Civil War preferred death to this treatment, which I don’t understand.

After he won the Roman Civil War he involved himself in the Egyptian Civil War.The war was between Cleopatra and her husband who was also her brother! Caesar ended up killing Cleopatra's husband/brother. After he settled that civil war he started a relationship with Cleopatra! Then Caesar fought and beat The King of Pontus, Cato who committed suicide so he wouldn't pardoned by Caesar since he was a Roman. I told you that these roman guys preferred death to being pardoned by Caesar. Then he fought and ended up killing (one of)Pompey’s two sons. It is was in the war against Pompey’s sons that Caesar came the closest to dying while staying alive. His army was so scared of the army of Pompey’s sons that they would not fight them. Caesar solved this problem by grabbing a shield and a sword and running at Pompey’s sons army by himself! His whole army then ran up to protect Caesar and won the battle.

Caesar returned to Rome and was appointed dictator for life in February 44 BC. He was preparing for another war, this time with the Parthian Empire but before he started the war he was...assassinated! On March 14 44 BC, when Caesar was going to a meeting in a sennet chamber chamber he was attacked by sixty senators and stabbed twenty-three times. Probably very few of the wounds was fatal. He did not die instantly but instead bled out at the feet of a statue of Pompey. A bit ironic. He ended the military career and indirectly the life of one of the greatest military men in Rome and he ended up bleeding out at the feet of his statue. After he died all the common,poor people attacked the houses of some of the people who had participated in his assassination like Brutus.

Julius Caesar was a very cool Roman. He did a lot of things. Some good some bad. But whether what he did was good or bad he made a big impact in Roman and modern history.

Edgar Allen Poe

By George

Oh, hi there. My name is Edgar Allan Poe. Let me tell you a bit about myself. I went to school at the University of Virginia. Sadly I had to drop out because my family did not have enough money to afford school. I then made a book called “Tamerlane and Other Poems.” When I was older I went to the U.S. Military academy, but was soon expelled. I was brought up by my aunt & uncle because my mom died when I was three, and my dad left the family.

My family had lost a lot of money to gambling losses. When I had dropped out I claimed that my uncle had made me because he had lost a lot of money gambling. Sadly that ended up to be true. Later I went to the U.S. Military academy at West Point, but was sadly soon expelled because I hadn’t done well with my duties. Then I went on to become a writer and start that as a career. I must say it ended up in favor of me. Now I’ll let my older brother William Henry Leonard Poe tell what he saw from his point of view.

Well hello. I’m guessing Edgar wants me to tell you a bit about him. Well I might as well tell you.My brother actually married our cousin. She & Edgar stayed together for their entire lives. I didn’t know him much. I know a bit though. I know in honor of his poem ‘The Raven’ The Ravens football team was founded. I was famous because I was his brother. His wife’s name was Virginia Clemm Poe. Well I think I’ve told you enough. Now I’ll let our younger sister tell what she knows. Good bye.

Hello there, I’m guessing William wants me to tell you about what I know about Edgar, Will, and I right? Well than I’ll tell you. Will, Edgar, and I never really knew our parents. Edgar was separated from us, and went to live with our aunt and uncle. John & Frances Allan whom I believe is a successful tobacco merchant. They lived in Richmond, Virginia. I believe he grew happy having Frances around. I don’t think that he and John ever really bonded. When Edgar left the University he turned to gambling to cover the difference. He ended up in debt of John who let it go. Well I’ll leave you to Edgar.

Well my friend I hope you have learned, “Quoth the raven, Nevermore.”



These are pictures of Edgar (left) & William (right)



‘The Raven’

“Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered weak and weary, over a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore, while I nodded nearly napping suddenly there came a tapping as of someone gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door. “Tis some visitor.” I muttered, “Tapping at my chamber door, only this and nothing more.”

Thank You

Nellie Bly

The Adventurous Nellie Bly!

By Kyli

https://www.nwhm.org/online-exhibits/youngandbrave/bly.html

Does anyone know where my monkey is? No? Sorry. He can be quite rambunctious at times. I bought him in Singapore on my trip around the world. It was quite a quick trip, only seventy two days! I wrote a book on it. It was a bit insane, but not as insane as when I went undercover to become a “patient” at a mental hospital. That made a great newspaper report. Anyway… would you like to get to know me? I thought so.

Here we will ask the classic question, “Who am I?” I am Nellie Bly! I was born, Elizabeth Jane Cochran, May 5, 1864, in Cochran Mills, Pennsylvania. I was a journalist/reporter/inventor, and I made an important change to our world in a few ways. One that I feel is very important is that I went undercover to become a patient at a mental hospital to show how badly the mentally ill were treated. I am most known for being a reporter that actually does what I’m writing about. For instance, I wrote a book called Around The World In 72 Days. This is because I actually went around the world in seventy-two days.

I sure was a cute kid in my younger days. My father was a very important part of my life. He taught all of his kids, including me, how hard work and determination can get you places. I took this very seriously throughout my life. I was also nicknamed “Pinky” because I wore the color so often. But in my preteens, I decided to stop so people would take me more seriously. My first writing was actually a response to an article in the newspaper titled “How Women Should Act.” The original article explained that women should not have an education, in fact, that they should not leave their house, etc. I was outraged! I wrote back my thoughts about the article, and titled it “The Little Orphan Girl.” One of my most important discoveries was when I went undercover and pretended to be crazy, spending ten days in a mental institute. I wrote about how they treated the patients there. There were horrible conditions, and I titled my article “Ten Days In The Madhouse.” My experience, and article, changed the way we look at the mentally ill.

I traveled to many places, including a trip to Mexico and of course, all around the world. On my trip around the world, I had crazy adventures, including the monkey! I went to Mexico to write about their government, and what we were doing to them. Many Americans, and some Mexicans, didn’t appreciate this. When I went around the world, I was racing another woman. I won, getting back 72 days later.

Finally, we will discuss my later years. In 1895, I married millionaire, Robert Seaman. Seaman was seventy-three, and I was thirty-one when we got married. Seaman died in 1904, then I came up with the idea of a milk can, and stacking garbage cans. I then died at age fifty-seven of pneumonia in St. Mark’s Hospital in New York City. I was buried in Woodlawn Cemetery in New York, 1922.

Well, did you enjoy my life? Good. I think I am a very interesting person. I am glad you enjoyed my life story. I hope you are intrigued to learn more. I’ve done many things important to the world. And I think I am just downright amazing.

"Excuse me, but do you know where my monkey went? Sorry. He doesn't like to stay in my purse very much. May I introduce myself? My name is Elizabeth. I am a writer and reporter for the newspaper. I've gone on many travels, including Mexico, and around the world. It went by very quickly, only 72 days. I also went to a mental hospital, but I'm really not ill. And that pretty much sums up my life. Any questions?"

Thomas edison made lot’s of thing like the motion picture camera,the photograph and a long lasting light bulb.He tried many times to get the light bulb perfect it took him about 100 tries to get it just right it's a good thing too because now we have light bulbs.

Thomas edison was once a great telegrapher.he also had a power station on pearl street in manhattan it was the first central power station in the united states.

Thomas’s middle name is alva so his full name is Thomas Alva Edison.Some of his movies include:The original Frankenstein (1910), Boxing cats (1894),and Annie oakley (1894) just to name a few.

Surprisingly Thomas was self educated that must be tough,he also had a job in new jersey as an inventor.
