there were some comparable aspects. Brutus's speech was more friendly, loving, and kind towards Julius Caesar and the audience. Mark Antony's speech was more of him talking down Brutus and Julius, telling the citizens that were at the funeral, that they need to "forget" the memory of Julius. Brutus shows how much that he cares for Julius and how much he misses him; where as Mark Antony speaks as if he is already to forget Julius, and how, even though he says he doesn't, he disagree's with…

Friends, Romans, today we speak to beg the question of why the noble Brutus has no monument to his name yet Caesar and Marc Anthony do. Noble men indeed but why is Brutus, the true character of Rome who embodied the honor of Rome and did everything he thought he could do to better Rome.

The Hobbit and Abarat show a different world that has no end in sight. “There in the distance appeared a glittering…

The assassination of Julius Caesar was unjustified. It’s unjustified because Caesar was a great leader and lawgiver. Even though Caesar was a leader for his army across the republic in northern Italy, Caesar was taking down the forces for his enemies before he left to Egypt. He already had a plan when he left for Egypt. Julius Caesar was a good man. He was also a smart man, Julius Caesar was a lawgiver. Caesar had never lost a war. This says a lot of Caesar.
