Dear Readers,

My life story will begin at Machiavelli.

Niccolo Machiavelli

He wrote The Prince,

which focused on

“Absolute rule by one

authority.”  He believed

that the Prince’s divine

right was to rule and

no one could stop him.

It was his responsibility

to care and govern for

the people whatever the

circumstances.   He

believed everyone should

feel the same way and

know the same truth, so

he wrote his book.  After

time, Machiavelli lost

favor with the Medici

family who was his basis

for his book.

How I compare:

Amanda Webb

I began my life with

the idea that my parents

knew what was best for me;

therefore, they would always do

what was best for me.  When

I had school projects, they

always did the most work

and then approved them.  

They made sure my homework

always got done and they

always checked it.  They pushed

me to achieve in activity

days, always getting all the

awards I could.  I stood in

the background of my life

and was content in staying there.
