Journal 11: Is Brutus the "noblest Roman of them all?"  Provide at least three reasons justifying your opinion.
I think Brutus was the noblest Roman of them all because he realized how there was a problem with Caesars ambition and he was the person that did something about it. He was willing to go against the whole republic rather than to see it fall. He was willing to kill his best friend because he loved Rome more and did not want to see the people become worthless and Caesars slaves. He eventually found out that he was becoming a problem for the people and was willing to take his own life by running into the same sword that killed Caesar also because he would never want to see the day that the great roman republic would become an empire.

Considering everything we know about Brutus and the body count already, do you think Brutus will commit suicide, too? Why is suicide a difficult decision for Brutus?

Considering everything we know about Brutus and the body count already, do you think Brutus will commit suicide, too?  Why is suicide a difficult decision for Brutus?
Yes I think Brutus will commit suicide because i was on sparknotes and It said something about Brutus committing suicide. Also he is not that of a honorable man so he will most likely not want to be humiliated by Antony so he will commit suicide.

Why does Brutus’s speech in Scene ii ultimately fail?
His speech ultimately fails because Antony makes a better speech was better and really touches their hearts and makes them feel bad for him and it makes him look good as if he cared for the republic and for caesar equally.He used pathos. He had the crowd in the palm of his hand after he told them about Caesars will.

JOURNAL 7 3/2/2011 Did Caesar have to die?  Who is most responsible for Caesar’s death?  Caesar or the Conspirators…Give me proof answering why- 10 sentences
I think that Caesar had to die because he was gaining to much power and when people gain to much power they get out of control. Caesar was becoming to greedy and put off a really good act pretending to faint. He knew if he "fainted" he could convince people that he was not really after power or becoming a dictator. He knew he could gain power easily if he waited and then once he did the people could not do anything about it.

JOURNAL 7 3/2/2011 Did Caesar have to die?  Who is most responsible for Caesar’s death?  Caesar or the Conspirators…Give me proof answering why- 10 sentences
I think that Caesar needed to die to save the republic of Rome because when people become to powerful they are not themselves. He had to be killed because if he did not the Republic would become an Empire, but first the empire would fall. Caesar might have been strong and able to resist the crown 3 times but after the first time he hesitated and then he fainted. He could not resist power for much longer. Brutus did the right thing in killing him because if he did not the Republic would fall and become an Empire.

If you were warned that someone's dreams or visions foretold danger for you, how would you respond?  Why?   

 I would not believe them unless they were close to me. If they are someone I just know I would still listen to what they have to say and take precaution. If they were someone I did not know I would ignore them because I can be a bit paranoid sometimes so it all depends on who the person is and if I trust him or her enough to believe them.

JOURNAL 4: Write a newspaper account of Caesar’s refusal of the crown of Rome on the day of the Lupercal festivals.  Make sure you interview at least 2 bystanders. REMEMBER: newspapers expect answers to the questions who, what, where, when, and if possible how and why.

Caesar was offered a crown by Mark Anthony today and he refused it. The crowd cheered and then they offered him the crown a second time yet again he gave it back but  he hesitated to give it back. It was offered to him a third time and he gave it back but he took his time and almost did not want to let go of the crown. The crowd cheered and Caesar fainted. Most people think it is good that he refused because it shows that he will keep Rome a republic but others said that because he hesitated he might give in and make himself the dictator of Rome.

Do you believe we control our fates or is it more or less out of our control?  Why or why not?  
I agree and disagree sometimes you can control your fate but sometimes you cant. Sometimes you can chose what to do whether its right or wrong. In some peoples cases you cant. You cant pick what you are born into. You cant pick whether you will be born in wealth or in poverty but you can chose if you will become wealthy or poor.

Dan's hair

Dan's hair is like a corn field
Dan's hair is a road
Dan's hair was long
Dan's hair is gone
Dan shaved his head
Now he cries himself to bed.
He cut his hair with clipping sheers
And now he looks like Britney Spears
But don't  worry Dan your hair will grow back
And be a mop again
But till then just wear a hat.

vocab words paragraph

The United States has been in a bellicose mood with Iraq for a while now and I am not sure whether or not we will appease. We have been very inhospitable and inimical when we should be more friendly and forgiving if we would let bygones be bygones.
