...spelling/grammar things.
Ps. I know its a bad report, but hey, I'm not so brilliant @ writing things llike this.
Here it is SO FAR:

An introduction to Alexander the Great: “From victory to victory, from triumph to triumph”, Alexander the great, (In Greek: Μέγας λέξανδρος) a famous Macedonian ruler who, in his time, was a great conqueror. He is one of the most famous rulers in the world ever recorded. He conquered many places, and ruled with intelligence and “with an iron fist”.

Where he came from: Alexander the Great was born in Pella, Macedonia, on the day June 20th, in the year 356 BCE. His father was Philip II of Macedonia and of his fourth wife, Olympias, was his mother. It is said that when Alexander went to see the oracle later in life, the oracle said that his father was the god Zeus Ammon, and he was the son of a god. Alexander believed it, because it is said to have happened that Phillip would not sleep in the same room as Olympias, because she slept with snakes in her room.

Growing up, as a child: As a boy when he was growing up, he studied literature with his tutor, Aristotle who also interested him in science, medicine, and philosophy. Aristotle told him stories of the Western lands that never ended are partly what encouraged him to become a conqueror. Aristotle also gave him a copy of the Illiad, which Alexander kept with him, and read a lot.
Alexander, when he was around a teenager, sometimes was left a regent for periods of time, when his father, Phillip, was leading on attacks or wars, and couldn’t be there, because Alexander was his son. One example is when, in 340 BCE, Phillip was leading an attack on Byzantium, Alexander, when he was 16 years old, was regent, for a while.

His relationship with Phillip, his father: Alexander the Great’s relationship with his father, Phillip, rocky at times. In one instance, at Phillip’s wedding to his fifth wife, Cleopatra Eurydice, her uncle said something Alexander thought offensive, and Alexander, threw a goblet of wine at him, and started yelling. Phillip then lifted up a sword and tried to kill Alexander. After a few steps, he fell, because he was drunk. Alexander then insulted him by saying “Here is the man planning on conquering Greece to Asia, and cannot even move from one table to another.”

Alexander’s conquests
In 338 BCE, in his first conquest, Alexander helped his father, Phillip at the Battle of Chaeronea against Athens and Thebes, two Greek City-states. Alexander led the calvary, in the battle, called the sacred band of Thebes, who were thought to be unbeatable, or at least, very hard to beat. After the battle, Phillip had a huge party in honor of their victory.

A Silent Perspective

Everywhere.
Silence.
I cannot hear the echo of my own footsteps along the pavement;
The sound is foreign to my ears, but it is
Familiar to others.
The crowd surges toward me,
Engulfing my tiny frame in its ambiance.
I force a smile to disguise the pain in my heart.
Mouths are slightly open, laughter
Escaping through parted lips.
Silent laughter.
I can only hear with my eyes.
I gaze upon an unknown countenance and
Imagine the sound of a voice, what it is to have a
Voice.
My voice is a series of hand signals few of which can
Comprehend.
I envy those who are normal.
I am tormented by my handicap, though I compel myself to
Live through it.
I look in the mirror, and I witness a monster.
I perceive myself the way everyone else sees me.
Society’s misinterpretation of my world is the cause,
My pitiful self-reflection, the effect.
I cannot conceive of placing myself into your shoes until
You recognize what it is to be deaf, what it is to live
A silent perspective.
