Cleopatra Informative Speech

Decent Essays
How could a ghoul ever forget the name of the first human they fed on? If I were a ghoul, my name would be Cleopatra. Cleopatra was an Egyptian pharaoh for almost 3 decades. She became the last in a dynasty of Macedonian rulers. She was very beautiful and intelligent. She had a very healthy diet which made her delicious to feed on. She ate a lot of grapes and such. Cleopatra took her own life on August 12, 30 B.C. by making an Egyptian viper bite her in the arm. Cleopatra also fell in love with Mark Antony. She had a love affair with Caesar at one point too. She also became pharaoh at the young age of 18. Cleopatra was one of the greatest and definitely most famous pharaohs and will never be forgotten, especially not by me.

    In Crawford's passage, Who was Cleopatra?, she tells of Cleopatra and how she became the ruler of Egypt at the time. The entire passage doesn't stay on topic of the claim though, throughout the whole passage she tells different things about Cleopatra, but its not all about how she was a strong leader who could match other leaders' skills and abilities during that time. Crawford hardly stays on the same topic about Cleopatra at all in the passage. She jumps from telling about one thing about her to telling something completely different. For example, in paragraph 2, she tells of how Cleopatra sneaks into the palace to take the throne from Caesar.…
