Just grab some land!

                    Today in class, we began watching a movie on Tiberius Gracchus. We saw how different he was compared to the other patricians. Instead of taking land from the plebeians and  pushing them out of his way, he actually seemed to care about them. Octavian on the other hand, didn't. He was more of your friend when you needed a drink or really nice food. He could easily take a plebeian's land free of guilt. Ever since Tiberius was young, he was told that he would be rule just as well as his father did, possibly even better. He had to walk through a poor area of town one time with his mom. Maybe that's why he has more sympathy for plebeians than most of the other patricians.
