Ok, so today I had to write a little writing response in English class. It was in response to"Imagine you are a Roman soldier under the leadership of Julius Caesar." The other kids in my class liked it... Let me know what you think, please!
Miles and mile I march stiffly across the countryside. Left, right, left, right. I must continue on to the next city to conquer for my homeland. My life as a Roman soldier has been very hard. Every morning I march into battle. All for my home. My leader, Julius Caesar himself, has lead us into battle. He wants to conquer the world. The long journeys, carrying my sword, shield, and wearing the heavy, metallic armor is very rough. This life was chosen for me. The gods have chosen it. I have learned to love it, but I still grow weary with the harshness of the weather and test of endurance. Many times I have seen my brothers fall in battle, but I am forced to continue this long voyage to the next battlefield. I do not know what is to happen, but I do know I must that this journey one step at a time. Left, right, left, right.

I like it! I think it is cool that you are putting yourself in the place of someone who may have lived so long ago. It does sound like you are incorporating the specific topics you've learned in class into the story...which is good, but it sounds too much like a textbook essay. Imagine more than just that one day's trudge across the battlefields. Think about how what happened yesterday and the day before affected your feelings today. ;-)
thanks for the advice!! :D
