Today there stands a city that has had thousands of years preserved underneath its streets. Archeologists and historians are working together to find out the story of this city, but often times the translation of academic findings to the rest of the world is not fulfilled. In popular culture today there are many gross interpretations of roman life that misguide the common consumer of information to get a terrible understanding of what roman life was like. There is a man though that is trying to…
What is the most significant complication when people judge before something occurs? Death, according to William Shakespeare. In Act 3 there are two speeches given, one by Decius Brutus and the other by Mark Antony. These two funeral speeches in The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare are similar in organization although differ in the message. To begin, William Shakespeare is creative in differing the positions where the men stand during the funeral speeches. Brutus stands above…
In order to avenge Caesar, Mark Antony turns a shocked, confused crowd of mourners into an angry mob of rioters by using persuasive techniques. The main component of Antony’s speech, Pathos, appealed to the commoners by striking an emotional spot inside them, trying to turn the fickle crowd against Brutus. Antony displayed the persuasive technique of Pathos by repeating words, showing them Caesar’s body, and presenting Caesar’s will. In the beginning of Antony’s speech, he spoke of Brutus as…
In William Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar Mark Antony’s speech is more persuasive than the one Brutus gives because he uses better tactics and more powerful rhetoric. In his speech Brutus uses gravitas and ethos which in the end backfires because it makes his speech less relatable and portrays him as better than the plebeians. Mark Antony gives his speech after Brutus and he uses this to his advantage by using verbal irony and more specially sarcasm. Mark Antony uses pathos and exaggeration to…
Natural Histories by Pliny talks about how the environmental theory combined with astrological signs can describe groups of people in order to classify them. Environmental theory describes how the environment plays a major role in the appearances of groups of people. The environmental theory claims that people are shaped due to the environment. According to Pliny “for those who live in the cold, their humors are drawn into the higher regions of their bodies; for those who live in the heat, it is…
If we are to operate under Bispham’s thesis that the processes of municipalization were welcomed and not forced onto the municipia then we are left with an interesting reality. The power that is mandating these laws is indirectly the Roman state, but it appears that no coercive or direct administrative leverage is being held over Heraclea, which certainly raises the question of enforcement. If these laws are simply being coopted out of desire to conform to a rather unobtrusive outside-state,…
Beside his original family of the Fish Clan, Saul later found his second Indigenous family, the Kelly’s, in Manitouwadge. It was Saul’s natural gift in hockey that led him out of St. Jerome’s, a school that “was hell on earth” (78). However, at first, Saul suggested that being at the Kelly’s might be not as nice as it appeared because according to Virgil, he had to work hard to prove himself: “First is you’re not from here and you’re taking a spot away from someone else. Second is you’re a…
topical ongoing debate in society about whether citizenship is becoming an outdated notion in the 21st century. Citizenship refers to the “state of being vested with the rights, privileges and duties of a citizen” (Dictionary, 2016). In the last century, the concept of citizenship has altered drastically and in addition, there is now more then one type of citizenship in existence. Until the modern era arrived, there were only two types of citizenship; natural born or naturalised. A natural born…
Who gets to decide what is appropriate for an individual to wear during not only during the taking of oath of Canadian citizenship, but at any time in any place within the boundaries of our supposedly multicultural Canada? While this is not the first time they issues regarding dress have arisen within Canada, the case of Zunera Ishaq, drew considerable attention in 2015. In large part to the proximity to the federal election and a potential rising tide of Islamaphobia which began to permeate…
either side of an issue when presenting it to an audience, as it relies solely on the facts and the scientific research available on the topic. I think the interactive theater format could be used to talk to communities about controversial topics in global service such as voluntourism. The scene would present the audience with all of the facts on voluntourism, the pros and cons of it, and what each side has at stake on the issue. By not advocating for either side, it allows each audience member…
