Thank you very much for reminding me. I totally agree with you

Henry V According to Henry V “God’s peace! I would not lose so great an honour As one man more‚ methinks‚ would share with me. For the best I have .

Henry V makes his men feel valued and equal by showing them what fighting with confidence instead of fear

Jimmy Walters English IV CP 2/20/09 In the story of Julius Ceaser‚ Brutus and Cassius compare and contrast in many ways. Brutus is a noble character while Cassius is dishonest and evil. Brutus is also more naive. He tends to dominate the other characters of the play. Brutus is honorable to and everyone likes him.

Julius Caesar was the first historical Roman to be officially deified. He was posthumously granted the title Divus Iulius or Divus Julius (the divine Julius or the deified Julius) by decree of the Roman Senate on 1 January 42 BC.

When I‚ look at these two speeches there really is no contest. Mark Antony really just takes the cake with his beautiful speech. To be fair Mark Antony had a huge advantage over Brutus in the fact that he got to speak last‚ so his words were the last the crowds got to hear‚ but that is not suppose to discredit Mark Antony.

After viewing the video “Who Killed Julius Caesar” I have come up with mixed ideas of what might have happened. I believe the death had to do with both suicide and murder‚ but mainly murder. My reason starts by the describing the occurrences Caesar endured during his time of death. Some of the main points the movie stated was that he was a master a manipulating people‚ he had epilepsy‚ he screamed out “kill me now‚ I won’t resist!”‚ and that he was sick with diarrhea and drowsiness. Most of these
