julius caeser
Caesar.

In the play about Julius Caesar, Caesar gives a “north star” speech at the capitol. Which shows how constant and how established Caesar is like the north star. The speech shows that Caesar can put his foot down and is not a bandwagoner like the people of Rome, and the conspirators as people who do not take anything under consideration. With this speech, Caesar seals his fate because he knows he will die. Bandwagoners are people who just follow other people and do what they are told to do. They don’t take their opinion under consideration. Caesar on the other hand will not just follow people orders and convinced so easily about things he should and shouldn’t do. As wise as Caesar he knows what will happen which is why the fake will is written. The Faction thinks they have won but as Caesar planned he knew what would all happen. He puts his foot down, and by the end nothing had gone the way the Faction had wanted it too.
With Caesar as constant and established he thinks very highly of himself which shows that he can control many things because he believes in himself. Not staying home like his wife wanted to, his seizures which make people believe he is a god, and taking the crown after three times of saying no show that he is great full and worthy to the people much like the north star because it is so constant.
The conspirators are very much like the people. Not taking anything under consideration, and not thinking things over before they do something shows they are just like the people. The people are bandwagoners and in the acts of the conspirators it shows they are just as much of a bandwagoner as the people but just not as believable like they would be.
Being constant and established, being able to put his foot down unlike the bandwagoners in Rome, and takes things under consideration shows how some people feel about Caesars speech about the north star.

    In the book, Julius Caesar was an influential and respected man. The community loved him for his acts of bravery and intelligence. The reason for Caesar's defeat was his ignorance of signs that could have saved his life. An instance of his ignorance was when his wife had a dream about him getting killed by the conspirators, but he still decided to go to the Senate where he was assassinated. Another moment is right before he receives a warning from the soothsayer (someone who can see the future) of his close future but ignores it to proceed his celebration. Each of these situations shows how if Caesar was humble and observant his life could have been saved.…

    Even in his absence or death, the manner in which characters address Caesar, describe him, and act in his presence, reveals the authority and influence he has over people's lives. From the first scene, Caesar is presented as victorious, having vanquished his rival, Pompey, and as an extremely popular figure among the people, with the commoners even defying authorities to celebrate his victory. As the play continues into scene ii, Caesar appears before the crowds as a modern-day pop-star, surrounded by a trail of subservient entourage. Casca and Antony display complete submission to Caesar, with the latter declaring that 'when Caesar says Do this! It is done' . In Caesar's absence, fellow patricians, Brutus and Cassius, describe him as 'mighty Caesar', a man who 'has now become a God', and strides in the world 'as a Colossus' . It is therefore evident that his close subordinates are jealously affected by his power, an effect which will later germinate into conspiracy. Even after his assassination, Caesar's ghost continues the task of perpetuating the fear of his everlasting power on those he influenced. Caesar holds enough power over his subjects that he is capable of influencing them continually, in his life and…

    This is because he created the 10th Legion and proved himself to be an adept military leader (Biography.com Editors 14). Also, Caesar reformed the Roman calendar and greatly increased the size of the Roman Senate (Biography.com Editors 14). However, everything Caesar did was only to increase his influence with the people of Rome so that he could become more powerful. For instance, the only reason Caesar expanded the Roman Senate, was so that he could fill it with allies who would later advocate for him. Moreover, Caesar ruled as dictator for only a year before his assassination, the majority of his actions that took place beforehand that are often seen as good were only a campaign that Caesar was a part of in an attempt to gain popularity, one in which he succeeded. Overall, everything Caesar did was for himself, although he was an innovative think as well as an adept military leader, he had a blatant disregard for the prosperity of all of his people, even the ones that he viewed as being…

    Poverty and welfare has become an alarming problem over the history of America. With a Capitalist economy, citizens of the United States do not have an equal distribution of wealth leaving some very poor. The government gives assistance to those most commonly in the form of welfare or a monthly check providing those in need of funding to ensure their well-being. With an unemployment rate of 7.9% in the United States, the government is providing approximately 131.9 billion dollars (not including food stamps or unemployment checks). Helping the needy is most definitely a responsibility for the U.S Government but there are many people that abuse this system and end up with more money annually from the government than some of our hard-working, professionals that are in turn paying for the people abusing the system, which is wrong. My policy brief will highlight the different types of abuse that the current system of welfare and methods of dealing with poverty is receiving. It will also list a variety of ways to strengthen the program providing more for the truly needy and those that are eager to get back on their feet and earn money the true American way consisting of hard work, time, and dedication. The over all goal for my policy briefing will be to help lead American from becoming a country of entitlements and back to its roots of hardworking, prideful citizens that the founding fathers worked vigorously to establish. Our current policy for welfare and government handouts cannot be continued especially with our alarm debt of over 16 trillion we can no longer afford these massive payouts especially to those that frankly do not deserve it.…

    Caesar has always been seen as one of the greatest warlords of all time. He’s right up there with Alexander the Great. Many describe him as incredibly bold in that he took risks that no other would have thought to take. He took every opportunity that showed a glimmer of success even when his comrades doubted him. An example of how Caesar was reckless was going to war with his enemies even when they weren’t ready. Another is when his forces and he went to face Helvetti he ordered them away to show that he would run the same risks he would. A leader leads by example.…
