little boy‚ pizza has always had a special place in my heart. From pizza day in the school cafeteria to pizza parties at sleep away camp‚ there was nothing more exciting than when that cardboard box was opened to reveal a round pie with eight delicious slices waiting to be devoured. Early on I learned that everybody eats their pizza differently. There are those who fold their slices in half‚ those who eat their slices with two hands‚ and those who (dare I say) like to cut their pizza with a fork and

Have you ever jumped on a trampoline? You probably have. Trampolines can not only be fun but can also be a great way to exercise. Do you know where all that fun started? Probably not.

At the end of Julius Caesar‚ Antony says that Brutus was the "noblest Roman of them all." In my opinion‚ I agree that Brutus was the noblest character in the play. He always kept everyone’s best interest in mind.

That being said‚ this act of overthrowing Caesar‚ still shows his willingness to help others at any cost. Brutus is the
