I’m livin’ in the 21st centuryDoin’ something mean to it
Do it better than anybody you ever seen do it
Screams from the haters, got a nice ring to it
I guess every superhero need his theme music
No one man should have all that power
The clock’s tickin’, I just count the hoursStop trippin’, I’m trippin’ off the power(21st century schizoid man)

This song is relating to Julius caesar because It talks about how there is a ruler who has all the power and how it might be to much for one man to hande. Also, how some people dont like the powerful man. The clock ticks which can be related because the minute ticks away until all the power is gone(example caesar dies)

Alternate Ending for Julius Caesar

In Julius Caesar, the end was very thought out and made the audience thinking what if? What if the ending was different? What would happen then? In the play, Brutus tells one of his men to hold the knife, while he runs into it, therefore killing himself. While Cassius also kills himself by telling one of his men to stab him. So they both end up killing themselves. Although this ending was quite shocking and overall very good, I believe it could have been somewhat better. If i could change the ending, it would be a little like this. I know they were both going into battle, and I believe the scene was very good, so I would keep the battle scene. But I would have both Cassius and Brutus somehow meet eachother during the battle. When they see one another, they start conversing, and then get in this huge argument about Caesars death. Brutus would then say how he regrets killing Caesar, and how he should have never taken his side. Then when the situation starts really heating up, Brutus takes out his knife ready to kill Cassius when Cassius realizes Brutus is going to kill him, so he also takes out his knife. They end up both stabbing eachother at the same time. Then they are both dead, and Antony is in full power.

Alternate Ending!!!!

This play ended with Brutus and Cassius killing themselves, To show respect. They thought it was better then getting caught and being held as a prisoner. I thought this ending was good although I think it would have been cool if it would have ended by them getting ready to stab themselves and then Caesars ghost comes out of no where and tells them that they have to go fight or else. So then they go and fight and end up dying anyways!

Rhetoric and Power Simile/Metaphor

Simile: Rhetoric is like a dictionary, its able to put words together and make it sound good, in a way you never thought possible. Power is like a car, you keep getting higher and higher in speed, but when you dont know how to drive it, you crash.

Metaphor: Rhetoric is an advertisment, it makes you believe things that you never thought would happen. Power is a drug, it can control and change you until you don't even know who you are amymore.

Antony is like a overflowing river, he was small in the begining and then grew to overcome the bank.

Modernized Julius Caesar

Act 1, Scene 2 Modernized text is in Red and other text is normal. Soothsayer: Caesar! Caesar! Caesar: Ha! Who calls? Who's calling me? Casca: Bid every noise be still. Peace yet again. Be quiet everyone! Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls me ? I hear a tongue, shriller than all the music, who is calling my name. say it cry "Caesar!"- Speak. Caesar is turned to hear. I hear someone yelling in the crowd over all the noise. Say it again,Caesar is listening. Soothsayer: Beware the ide of march. Beware of march 15th Caesar: What man is that? Who's that? Brutus: A soothayer bid you beware the ides . A soothsayer tells you to beware of March 15th. Caesar: Set him before me. Let me see his face. Bring him to me i want to look at him. Cassius: Fellow, come from the throng. Look upon caesar. Come out of the crowd this is caesar you are looking at. Caesar: What sayst thou to me now? What do you have to say now? Speak once again. Say it again. Soothayer: Beware the ides of march. Beware of march 15th Caesar: He is a dreamer. let us leave him. Pass! He's insane. let's leave him! Lets move! This shows what power caesar has over the people and everyone..... and also how quickly he uses it. He kinda blows the man off and dose not give a darn. Having power like that makes you step on the smaller people and not think twice about it.
