Essay Topics
Write an essay for ONE of the following topics:
Essay Topic 1

2. Explain the difference and similarities between a dictatorship and a democracy government.
3. What do you think is meant by Sallust binding the theme of acting quickly with a sound political structure.

1. There are many reasons why one might join an army. Discuss at least four reasons and whether you believe those are better reasons than to join it for fame.
2. Discuss why Sallust thinks self-aggrandizing has interfered with greater literature being produced.
