Melanie:
You shouldn't limit your study of Alexander(or
anything else) to what you might learn in school.
And I'm a teacher. I know studying the ancient
world isn't considered fun or cool by most teens
but while you're on your holdiay break you
should try reading a novel by Mary Renault, "Fire
From Heaven", it is worth reading and you may
get hooked on this fascinating personality.

Excellent advice. In highschool the history class only touched on this character. I went on my own to the library and read everything I could find on him. He's become my hero thru the ages. You will enjoy reading Renault's books about him.
