Alexander and Aristotle

3. Based on what you know about Aristotle, do you think Alexander had listened carefully to his tutor?

Based on what I know about Aristotle, I think Alexander did not listen carefully to his tutor.  Alexander did not learn much from Aristotle, but they did become friends.  Aristotle was a well-educated man who was very interested in science, but Alexander was not interested in learning science; rather, he was interested in conquering the world.  He did just that until his death at the age of 32.  After his death, the land that he conquered was divided among his generals.
