He had two brothers, Melville James Bell and Edward Charles Bell. Alexander Graham Bell has many major accomplishments. He was an inventor,…

The definition of honor is to regard with great respect and high esteem. My view of honor is respectfulness towards others, and putting others before you.

B) Cobbler: “A trade, sir, that I hope I may use with a safe conscience, which indeed, sir, a mender of bad soles” (1.1.12-15). Cobbler uses this pun to address that he is a mender of worn soles. This literally means that he repairs the soles of shoes, but it can mean he mends souls. He can repair shoes but cannot repair the broken souls of people’s lives…

Throughout history, individuals who have conflicted over a certain aspect, ultimately debate upon the circumstances of the situation. One contemplates about the techniques in which they would apply while speaking in order to convince the individuals incorporated within their region. Individuals would make nationalistic statements as well as logical and effective claims, which appeal to the public. Likewise, within the play Julius Caesar by William Shakespeare, after the catastrophic death of…

In Shakespeare’s The Tragedy Julius Caesar, Mark Antony has to fill these dreadful shoes after witnessing the murder of his closest friend, Julius Caesar. In Act III, Antony stands in front of the group of Plebeians after they have just listened to Brutus, the conspirator’s, reasonings as to why Caesar…

During both the Roman and Persian Empires, women played an important and pivotal role in their societies. These women held both public and political positions in their empires, and possessed the authority that women in previous times had never had before. Both the Roman and Persian women who obtained this power did so in different ways, and these women also both conducted themselves differently once obtaining this uncommon privilege. Livia and Esther were both some of the first patricians in…

On the Ides of March, Julius Caesar was brutally assassinated by a group of nobles in the Senate House. Mark Antony, who was Julius…

In the play Julius Caesar, Brutus is a government official, and he has a wife named Portia.

Brutus loved Caesar with all of his heart, but Brutus had to make the…
