Cleopatra: The Last Queen of Egypt 1.) Was Cleopatra as important as most people think she was. 2.) Did Cleopatra commit suicide or was it an accident? 3.) Why did Rome take over after Cleopatra died?

When Did You Last See Your Father? The story is a boy and his family have been accused of hiding something from the Parliamentarians. I think the two women in the background have something to do with the interrogations. The women with the black dress is probably the family’s maid, and the other women is probably the mother. I think the maid informed the Parliamentarians that the family is hiding something for the Royalists, and that they should be searched and questioned. I think the family’s father has done something wrong, maybe he is the leader of the Royalist’s army, or that he has something very important to do with opposing the Parliamentarians. The little girl that is crying is probably the sister that is getting ready to be questioned after the boy is done. I think the girl might crack if they interrogate her too much, and she is already giving them a clue, since they have not even started questioning her yet. I think the boy is telling the man questioning him that he has no idea where his father was and that he would not tell him even if he did know. I think the man with the brown coat that is sitting behind the desk is only there to be a witness of the interrogation. The man that is standing by the little girl, the one that is holding a spear thing, he is probably a guard to make sure the family doesn’t try to run away or start a fight or anything like that. I bet the family does know something but they don’t want their father to get into any trouble, especially since if the family got caught hiding something from the Parliamentarians, they would be executed.

Thesis Statement: Even though Cleopatra was a good Queen, she failed her people by committing suicide, allowing the Romans to take over her country, causing the Egyptian government to collapse.
