leader. In Germany Hitler did a similar thing, he turned the people to his radical side. They used persuasive speech and gave the people offers that caused them to be loyal to them. These two people proved that words are more powerful than weapons. Mark Antony had a tough job he had to give a speech after brutus had the crowd cheering for him. Antony starts to give his speech and he slowly starts to explain why Brutus was wrong. “But Brutus says he was ambitious, and Brutus was an…

because he doesn't have to rebel or abide to any rules. Huck says “I didn't want to go back to the widow’s any more and be so cramped up and sivilized, as they called it. This shows that he is living uncivilized like he wanted. Huck likes living without any rules. However, there is no safety. Huck likes this lifestyle until one night when Pap came home drunk. “Pap called me the Angel of Death and said he would kill me… I begged, and told him I was only Huck, but he laughed such a screechy laugh,…

The Jumping Frog of Calaveras County by Mark Twain is a short story that includes a tall tale, a jokester, and a prestigious narrator. Simon Wheeler was a simple, seemingly uneducated man. “I noticed that he was fat and bald-headed” (122). What could a narrator, far superior than he, learn from such from such a simple man? In the search for answers to who is Leonidas W. Smiley, the narrator was brought more useless information than he bargained for. Simon Wheeler was not serious when talking…

Stoid Society: A Place Where Some Fall Prey, but Some Dominate. “[Huck] was the only really independent person--boy or man—in the community.” So proclaims Brooks, a critic of Mark Twain’s Huckleberry Finn. Huck empathizes for and helps others, even sometimes risking his own freedom and happiness to do so. For example, when Huck sees Mary Jane crying, he “felt awful bad to see it”. Therefore, he tells her about the King and Duke’s deception and trusts her with this secret. However, if Mary Jane…

he died and not as the ambitious person Brutus made him look like. One of the time of Irony’s used in the speech is verbal irony, verbal irony is “someone says something that means one thing but is intended to mean the opposite”. It is used when mark Anthony says “Brutus is an honorable man”…

The past happened; it is inevitable. Contemporary with the formation of the United States, slavery was both legally and socially accepted in the South. In his book, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, Mark Twain implicitly embeds real world problems from within American history such as slavery and other societal characteristics at the time to affect the reader in reflecting a fictional story with reality. The protagonist within the book, Huckleberry Finn, goes on a journey on a raft along the…

happens it is called a Bildungsroman. The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn by Mark Twain is one of those types of books. The main character, Huck, has many of those life changing events in his life. Three of those are more influential than the others. The First main event that really starts it all is when Huck decides to run away. It is summed in this quote “I judged I’d hide her good, and then, ‘stead of taking to the woods when I run off, I’d go down the river fifty mile and camp in one place…

the conspirators DID commit murder, he did it for a true, good reason. Not in spite or envy. While Brutus did commit murder, he did it for the good of his home. Someone who will kill a friend just to make a place better for the masses is not what I would consider a true villain. He, along with the rest of the conspirators did save Rome from Caesar and his tyranny. Brutus is a traitor, not a villain. But while being a traitor, he is a hero. He back stabbed Caesar with good intentions for…

the Roman people. This is a clear example of Ethos, “I know no cause to spurn at him, but for the general” (2.1.11-12). Brutus then states his concern for a personality change in Caesar if he were to become king, supporting his argument. Brutus states, “He would be crown’d: How that might change his nature, there’s the question” (2.1.12-13). Brutus continues to support his argument with an excellent example of Pathos, “Crown him that, and then I grant we put a sting in him, that at his will he…

he was naive. It also became clear that Julius Caesar was reckless and power hungry. Caesar was threatening the future of the Roman Republic by thinking he could do whatever he pleased. I believe that Brutus could have saved Caesar by placing two other Roman dictators in with him to assist Caesar in ruling. I believe someone always has a choice in whatever situation they are facing. In this instance, Brutus could have talked to Caesar and explained the circumstance and how his erratic behavior…
