Machiavelli ? He wrote The Prince And How to get ahead as a leader . As we talked about him we listed off the positions qualities and ways to get ahead as a leader . As we did this we read a metaphor and had to write and create my own. " Men and homes can be built but not stay sturdy " this metaphor is saying that you can build both house and man but they'll either get knocked down or will weigh there selfs down. That says a lot in today society . It was nice learning about him and being able to discuss and go it to depth with his story.
