Haikus on Rhetoric and Power

Supposed people

send Brutus many letters

for ending Caesar



Cassius formed

a conspiracy faction

to support Brutus



The now plan to kill

Caesar and Antony in one

"Antony is a limb."

Caesar Cheesecake by Orbitz

Premeditated pie crust
1 cup of Caesar
1 1/2 cup Brutus
1 1/2 cup Caius
1 1/2 cup Cassius
1/4 cup of drama filled Portia
2 tbs Lucius
3 packets of P.P.P. (Pride, Power, Persuasion)
Pinch of anxiety
1 tsp of worry
3 yolks of motivation
2 tsp of wisdom
Pinch of spiced fear

Preheat the oven of conflict to 375 F. Then cook premeditated pie crust for about ten minutes. While it's cooking, place one cup of Caeser and a pinch of spiced fear in the bowl of Rome. Make a plan to blend in Brutus with a pinch of anxiety, Caius with wisdom, and Cassius with some Lucius. Blend in three packets of P.P.P. until the batter is fully mixed. Next, beat three yolks of motivation. Then cut the Portia and add some drama juice to the mixture, along with worry.
Add the batter to the premeditated crust and let it cook for 25-30 minutes. Let it sit and cool in the refrigerator of doom.
(Makes 12 slices of crime or 12 cups of ridicule if using cupcake pan)

Song lyrics for Power

We're living in that 31st century, futuristic fly S***
The penthouse is the projects and everybody flies private
New watches (you know what time it is) Watch us (you see us)They can't stop us
The prophetsBeotches!
[Chorus: Kanye West]No one man should have all that power (Yea!)
The clock's tickin, I just count the hours (Yea!)
Stop trippin, I'm tripin off the power ("No one man should have all that power!" - [King Crimson])[Jay-Z]Rumble young man, rumbleLife is a trip so sometimes we gon' stumbleYou gotta go through pain in order to become you
But once the world numbs you, you'll feel like it's only one you
Man, you got the power to do anything you want to
Until you ask yourself, "Is that what it's all come to?"Looking at life through sunglasses in the sunroof
Do you have the power to get out from up under you
F*** all these labels, f*** what everybody wants from you
They trying to ask who/Axl Rose you, (Welcome to the Jungle!)
To be continued, we're on that Norman Mailer s*** In search of the truth even if it goes through Taylor Swift
Tell 'em this![Kanye West]No one man should have all that power...[echoes]



I chose this part of the song Power by Kanye West, because it talks about how no just one person should have all the power and that you can really do what you want to do. It relates to what we are reading because, Caesar wants to become more and more powerful and no one wants that. Infact everyone wants him dead and so in this song by it saying that no one should have all the power and how we should basically be all be the same.

Brutus and Cassius

This is from when Cassius persuades Brutus that he is just as important as Caesar
He is talking about he controls his fate and he is just as good as Caesar
"Why should that name be said more than yours? Write them together, yours is just as fair a name."
-Cassius says to Brutus





In this images Cassius and Brutus are talking about Caesar. Caesar will soon become king and Brutus believes this is correct. Cassius believes that Caesar should not become king, but instead Brutus. Cassius decides to use his persuasive ideas to get Brutus to believe he is just as good, maybe better, than Caesar. Cassius uses his rhetoric to build up Brutus's confidence. He then decides to write many letters in different hand writing to make Brutus think the citizens believe in him.
After this scene Cassius continues to plot against Caesar. After comparing Caesar to the tempest he decides to bring Casca into his plans. He meets with Casca and decides to gather others and have a meeting. After Cinna comes he decides to get the attention of Brutus. Cinna is sent with a flyer to put on the statue of Brutus's ancestor. They will meet on Pompey's Porch to discuss their plans.

People cheer for Caesar's return.

Ominous storms remind Cassius of Caesar.

Weigh them, it is as heavy, conjure with'em, "Brutus" will start a spirit as soon as "Caesar".

Epilepsy makes Caesar weaker than Cassius.

Rejecting the crown, Julius Caesar falls.
