  12. Speech Writing Opinion: I, Ares, god of violence and warfare, am the best god of all! Reasons: Since I frequently control the life and death of humans, I am clearly important. Also, I am fierce and confident, which are traits that a leader needs to have. Examples: I was responsible for the Trojan War. I also am the reason there is no world peace! I have fire-breathing horses, which shows how fierce everything associated with me is. Opinion: Just remember, a vote for me as the best god is a vote for protection from your enemies on the battlefield of junior high!
