  15. Alexander The Great was famous in many ways.One way was that he told his father if he tained the horse that his father owned what would his father give him.His father would give him the horse.When he did do it that showed bravery and that he was very tough.Another thing that he did was he owned and took over alot of land and i think he became a leader when he was at a young age and he was a warrior he was realle tough.

  18. I think Alexander the great was famous for taming a untamable horse no matter how strong or old someone was.Alexander was only 8 or 9 when he tamed the horse.Then he became king and took over lots of parts of the world.He was a strong person and he became king at the age of 16.Also Alexander would want to have the same level like his warriors.If they slept on the floor he would sleep on the floor.He was a great leader his horse he tamed died in war he fought in and since he was really attached to him he was really upset he died.Alexander died at the age of 33.Therefore Alexander the great was a strong nice leader

  20. I think Alexander The Great was famous for multiple reasons. One reason is all of his influence of Greek culture and beliefs. He spread that belief through conquering lots of land. He was also famous for his bravery for tamming his horse,Bucephalas, he was so attached to. He is also famous for being equal to his soilders. So that is why I think Alexader The Great is famous.

  25. I think that Alexander The Great is famous for his bravory. He tamed a horse and had it until he was in his early 30. He got that horse because his father bought it and the horse wasnt tamed and his father told him if he could tame the horse the it was his. Then he tamed it and kept it. He went to battles and wars throught his like and he would always try to conqure a city state. His empire ran from Greece to Asia.This is why I think Alexander The Great is famous.

  26. Alexander the great was very brillant person. What he did after his father had died was to defeat in the battle with his warriors. He was very powerful person and he was very helpful to others. one way he was helpful was to train others by getting them ready for a battle. Thats one reason why they would defeat many battles with alexander the great. After he had died they were so depressed And sad and crying. ANDREA{PRINCETON}
