It is the definition of my daily activities as it is for everybody at some point in their lives. But the thing that makes my chaos unique; that makes how I define my life different is that I perceive having a chaotic life as a good thing. I believe that you aren't really living life if you are not living it with a little disorder and complications. I don't want everything to come served to me on a silver platter, because it would defeat the purpose of learning. When i have to work for something, I'll probably appreciate it more, and I'll have the learning experience of finding out exactly what is needed to accomplish the things I want in life. I also learn about what I can and can’t handle, and when I fail, and especially when I succeed, I need the chaos to bring me back to reality. I need it to slap me in the face with the next problem, and give me a chance to fix it. Chaos is directly related to how much control I have in my life, and it forces me to make the decisions that define who I am as a human being. We all need to chaos to come in our lives. It brings love, and hate, and many other emotions for is to feel. It tests our abilities. It defines our characters, and it takes those choices we'd rather not make and the problems we'd rather avoid and throws them in our face and forces us to deal with them. It makes life interesting, and worthwhile. many people need to realize that without the chaos, the resulting

    Julius Caesar Research Paper

    The Republican period of Roman history began in 509 BCE after the last Etruscan kings was dropped. The Republic was controlled by the Senate, which was an assembly by dominated upper-class families. This dominance by the aristocracy led to tensions between the social classes, especially among the lower classes who fought for equality in both the economy and the government. Despite these inner struggles, Rome's military power strengthened throughout the 5th and 4th centuries BCE and by 270 BCE they commanded the entire peninsula. 264 BCE brought the beginning of the three Punic Wars fought against Carthage over control of the western Mediterranean. These resulted in victories for Rome which granted them access to the wealth of Greece, Egypt,…

    Julius Caesar Conflicting Perspectives Analysis

    All texts are deliberately constructed to convey an agenda and a set of values. This means that every composer has a purpose, which is based on the issues arising from their context and audience. To that end, the composer uses conflicting perspectives as a vehicle for successfully conveying their purpose to the audience. So, through the representation of events, personalities and situations (which utilises form, language and structural devices), the responder is positioned to accept the perspective that the composer has represented as valid or credible. As a consequence, the composer is able to successfully impart their values to the audience. Examples of conflicting perspectives in society and the media come in the form of William Shakespeare’s…

    1. Overall I would classify Marc Antony’s speech as largely monosyllabic as a whole in length. This took a much longer time to decide than it did of Brutus’ speech, this could be that Antony is a smarter and nobler person or that it’s just how Julius Caesar constructed the speech to persuade the crowd. One of the lines that demonstrate a great use of one syllable would be “My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar and I must pause ‘till it come back to me” (Shakespeare, Lines 108-109). This is just one of the many lines that uses a lot of one syllable words but in the end the speech was mainly one syllable in length.…

    Julius Caesar Dbq

    “I came, I saw, I conquered” stated by Julius Caesar is one of the most well-known quotes in history. Neither Western Civilization nor the Roman Empire can be discussed without making reference to this great leader. Being a leader, Julius Caesar was continuously faced with obstacles but how he overcame them and impacted society, centuries later, is what mattered. From his personal endeavors into the political leadership role that he excelled at, Caesar got what he wanted out of any situation and was extremely influential. From Rome to Egypt and back again, Caesar never allowed for his way of thinking to be compromised and that, in turn, allowed for him to impact certain things in Western Civilization and history…

    Julius Caesar Seminar Questions

    1. When Caesar says that Cassius thinks too much, I agree. Cassius tends to look into the details and over think simple situations. He becomes very meticulous about how the group of the conspirators is organized. Also, while Cassius is the one who originally comes up with the idea of the conspiracy and that he wants Brutus to be in charge, he thinks through the plan, yet does not want to take responsibility. Cassius just about argues with himself, due to too many thoughts running through his mind. He thinks about so vile a thing as Caesar! But, O grief, where hast thou led me? I perhaps speak this before a willing bondman. Then I know my answer must be made. But I am armed and dangers to me indifferent,” (1.3.11-115), proving that his thoughts are all over the place.…

    Julius Caesar Thesis

    Gaius Julius Caesar lived from 100- 44 BC and was a prominent person in the last few decades of the Roman Empire. He was skilled as a speaker and writer, an intelligent politician and fantastic general, but he was also very brutal in his chase of selfish goals. These goals were not only having complete power over the Roman republic, but also credit as being a god. Caesar was born in 102 or 100 BCE into the ancient patrician family of the Iulii who claimed ancestry from Aeneas of Troy, one of the mythical founders of Rome, and the goddess Venus, but few members of the family had distinguished themselves in the previous generations. Caesar's father arrived at the praetor-ship, but never won the election for the consulship. The years of his youth…

    Critical Lens: Julius Caesar: The Effects of Power

    It is generally accepted that hardship would ensue harsher test of one's character than power would. Abraham Lincoln attempted to denounce this belief when he claimed that "Nearly all men can stand adversity, but if you want to test a man's character, give him power." Lincoln illustrates that adversity is something that many men can succeed in spite of while maintaining their character by comparing its effects with those of power. He sustains the idea that a man's character is only truly tested if they are given power because of its corrupting influence. Lincoln's ideas are substantiated in the play Julius Caesar, in which William Shakespeare explores topics of adversity and power. Through his characterization of Julius Caesar, Mark Antony, and Brutus, Shakespeare clearly indicates that the true test of a man's character is, in fact, power rather than adversity.…
