We Wear The Mask My reaction to the poem “ We Wear the Mask” is a feeling of truthfulness. It tells about what people see and what others hide.

for a leader to do is to understand war. He believes a leader should always be armed with weapons and a strong‚ forceful military. He saw that other great leaders before him were praised and honored for a strong military and believed that he should do what those great leaders before him did (Machiavelli 223).
