If you could meet any famous person dead or alive, who would it be? ( Part 1)
> Cleopatra- I would love to meet her, since she is the last Queen of Egypt. I read her story and I was touched by her life how she loved Mark Antony and Caesar. I think of her as a brave woman and a true lover, because first she tried to protect her country with all her might, second she even commit suicide just for Antony. (sheesh) Just like Juliet, why couldn't they live? She undergo many challenges in her life and she even learned how to speak Egyptian even if her family only knows Greek. It was even told that Cleopatra was an incarnation of a Egyptian Goddess, Isis.

Antony describing Cleopatra: “For (as they say) it was not because her [Cleopatra’s] beauty in itself was so striking that it stunned the onlooker, but the inescapable impression produced by daily contact with her: the attractiveness in the persuasiveness of her talk, and the character that surrounded her conversation was stimulating. It was a pleasure to hear the sound of her voice, and she tuned her tongue like a many-stringed instrument expertly to whatever language she chose….”
Ain't it sweet?? :)
