BR1-02:Cleopatra



From the palace balcony,Princess Cleopatra could see lush gardens...(p.5)

I read a book which wrote about Cleopatra's life.Her family -the Ptolemis- had ruled Egypt for 250 years and wew completely at home in Alexandria. So,her father was King of Egypt and Cleopatra become Queen later.
Her family was so hard and she'd never liked her sisteres much because Berenice and Arsinoe were very bossy. When his fahter get out Egypt, Cleopatra's sisteres became more and more bossy. So Cleopatra's father was back and had brought support from Rome, he said "Arrest my traitore daughter,then kill her!"
It is unbelievable thing that father killed his daughter, but it is very commonly.
I think people who live in this time are poor because they fight for getting our fame, and lose something a lot: family, lover and so on.
Cleopatra got married for keeping her fame. She has very beauty face, it is greatest her arm.She was pretty smart woman and strong. That is truth.
But I think she wants to love more.When she died -the snake's poison- she want to be bureid alongside her beloed Antony. The beauty queen's last wish was so simple and pure.
