Nero, a crazy man
Today in class we watched a movie about Nero Caesar. Nero was the ruler of Rome for a period of time. He was not what you would call a normal guy. Nero was crazy! After there was a huge fire in Rome he decided to re-build the city and change it completely. He killed dozens of people including his wife who was pregnant. The council wanted to kill him themselves but a slave who over heard them talking about their plan to attack him ran and told Nero before they could do it. Nero was confused and very scared but also furious. He called the men in and asked them if they were really planning to kill him. They lied and said they weren't planning on doing that but the slave interrupted and said that it was a lie and they were going to. Nero ended up killing many men in the council and also the slave. Everyone in Rome thought that Nero was crazy and all wanted to do something about it. But since he was the ruler, and was completely crazy, they were to afraid to actually do anything. They are currently planning on what they will do to Nero because they definitely need to get rid of him. He is crazy and an awful leader!
