Rhetorical devices/appeals are like diamonds in an essay because when there's no rhetorical devices in a essay, the essay would be boring and won't interest people.
Power is a mask in a speech because it blinds people to the truth
Caesar is like a lion because he is a powerful king of Rome and respected by Roman citizens.

Quotation of Three or More Lines
Act 2, Scene 1
Original Text:
But for the general. He would be crowned.
Original Text:
But for the general. He would be crowned.
How that might change his nature, there’s the question.
It is the bright day that brings forth the adder
And that craves wary walking. Crown him that,
And then I grant we put a sting in him
That at his will he may do danger with.
This quote is made by Brutus. This happened just after Cassius had talked to him telling him that Caesar was not fit to be a dictator. Afterward, Brutus spent much time thinking whether or not it would be right for him to join Cassius. This quote tells you that Brutus thinks that if Caesar were to become king he could do some serious damage with it. The quote also means that evil can from good meaning that Caesar could be showing a good side to the people of Rome but if he were to become the dictator of Rome then he could show his true side.
And what this says about Brutus is that he is thinking about joining Cassius' side against Caesar after much thought.In our topic this quote relates to power because power in the wrong hands can result in the collapse of the kingdom. Before I read this I had predicted that Brutus would join Cassius and this confirms by belief. I can also predict that the conspirators side will gain a large advantage from having Brutus on their side because he is close to Caesar. Brutus' cooperation with the conspirators will mark the end of Caesar.

**Troublesome people
Cause war until the last breath
ending with all deaths.
**Brutus maybe strong
But others have opinions
tonight the fight, night is young.
**Cassius is boss
until he has a great loss
everything at cost.
**Underneath the best
Tonihgt they are all at rest
Romans put to test.

Modernize the quote
Act III Scene II line 189-198
Even at the base of Pompey's statue
When Caesar was covered in blood, he felled down.
Omg that was a perfect fall right there, my bro.
Then I and you citizens fell down
When the blood of all mighty flourished us.
Oh now we cry and I see
the power of your pity; your tears are very gracious like gold. : (
Kind souls, what makes you cry when you
made Caesar's clothes wounded???? Look guys
Here is Caesar and also, you can see the traitors that tried to kill Caesar !
In line 190-191, it describes how powerful Caesar was. Everybody bowed down to him, when he felled down. This shows how he was respected and how powerful he was from citizens. Also, in line 196, Anthony uses rhetorical question to get more attention from the citizens. Everybody knew why Caesar was wounded. Anthony was very wise and attracting people's though by using rhetorical devices.

Brutus is..../Rhetoric and Power is....like...
Rhetoric & Power is like a bomb blast because it stands for different things. On one side, all is destroyed but on the other side a victory is made. Bomb blasts are a sign of power because only strong groups are able to create such devastation.
Rhetoric & Power is an execution. Power has the will to take away life but for a reason meaning many things; jealousy, hatred, love, or even protection. The conspirators that executed Caesar all had their reasons, for Cassius: jealousy, for Brutus: protection.
Cassius is like a fish hook because, although having a tasty looking treat to lure Brutus and others to follow him, it is still bate. He still has hurtful means behind his bate, the assassination of Caesar.

“If it were within, within our powerBeyond the reach of slavish prideTo no longer harbor grievancesBehind the mask's opportunists facadeWe could welcome the responsibilityLike a long lost friendAnd re-establish laughterIn the dolls house once againFor time has imprisoned us
In the order of our yearsIn the discipline of our waysAnd in the passing of momentary stillnessWe can see our chaos in motionOur chaos in motionWe can see our chaos in motionView our chaos in motion”
These are the lyrics from a song called “In the Kingdom of the Blind the One-eyed are Kings.” This song is by the group named Dead Can Dance. Straying away from the relation of this song to our topic I would like to point out the meaning of the title. I think that it may mean that a man of even limited ability is at a great advantage in the company of those less able. This meaning even relates to Caesar directly considering that he has many health defects like the deafness in his left ear and his case of epilepsy.
Caesar may seem fitting to be the emperor of Rome and a person who is very respectable but little do the people of Rome know that he is hidden behind a facade. He appears to be a man of great merit to those unknowing of his true intentions. Caesar of truly one who has the pride of someone with low aims and character. Being an opportunist, Caesar takes any chance he can get to turn the favor in his direction. Using Decius’ interpretation of Calphurnia’s dream as an excuse to see the senate is a good example. Using the quote “How foolish do your fears seem now, Calphurnia!I am ashamed I did yield to them.Give me my robe, for I will go.”

Power
Every person who wants power is at war
For any power that could give control even more,
they carry on hurting and hating just for a little bit more.
The power of truth is in the belief.
Power is love and strength showered on others at any length
Power knows no friends.
The power of love is like a light that keeps darkness away.
There is power in revenge but more power in forgiving.
The power of anger can rage inside until it tears you will part.
But the power of a smile can heal a broken heart.
The power is yours and yours alone so use it wisely and you'll never go wrong.
Lleyson Hernandez
This poem is about power. I talks about the bad that power can do. It also talks about the good power can somtimes do. It mostly focuses on the bad side of it. It focues on the anger and revenge feel of power.
This poem can be realted to Julius Caesar because power is a relevant theme in the play. I think the first line, about power and war realtes directly to the play. I think it is just like Caesar! The line about power in revenge can also relate to all who tried to dethrown Caesar.

Quest To end Powers
*Brutus can't decide
to which side he will devide
in the end will die
*In his mighty stride
Cassius will hide inside
bring down Caesar's Pride
*He weils the weapon
to end Caesar's life quickly
Crushing his power
*Make close Friends allies
Caesar is not trusted much
Weakened by the truth
to which side he will devide
in the end will die
*In his mighty stride
Cassius will hide inside
bring down Caesar's Pride
*He weils the weapon
to end Caesar's life quickly
Crushing his power
*Make close Friends allies
Caesar is not trusted much
Weakened by the truth

Julius Ceasar
Just because he is going to be king, there are some,
Unfaithful people in the crowd who think otherwise.
Like, Cassius, being against Julius Caesar, he
Is using persuasion to influence Brutus, that Caesar does not
Utilize the responsibilities and details people say he does. Cassius
Stated, “Brutus and Caesar, what should be in that “Caesar”? Why should that name be sounded more that?”
Caesar even tried denying the crown, and becoming king, but was it really just a scam?
And this made others question him deeply. When Casca said, “Why there was a crown offered him, and being offered him, he put it by.”
Established by the senators, Caesar will be king.
Supposedly Cassius is only trying to figure out what side Brutus is truly on. By
Attempting to trick him with clever words hidden questions.
Rhetoric and Power were never more applied.

Act I
http://www.schooltube.com/video/b89c2314d554116e2953/JC-Animated-Part-1
In the link provided above, the entire Act I in animation is shown. Some important events include where Cassius is persuading Brutus that Caesar is not the man the people view him as.
In this event, Cassius uses RHETORICAL persuasion to get Brutus to listen to him! The quote from act I Scene II is as follows: "Brutus and Caesar: What should be in that "Caesar"? Why should that name be sounded more than yours?" Clever, clever Cassius using his convincing language! But this is not the first time Cassius tries to persuade Brutus. "Ay do you fear it? Then must I think you would not have it so?" In this part of Act I Cassius is trying to get Brutus to talk, I suppose it worked in a way. Then a Mr. Casca comes into the picture and describes how Caesar is "putting on a show" and denies power that is given to him, "Why, there was a crown offered to him, and being offered to him, he put it by with the back of his hand, thus, and then the people fell a shouting."
Its a shame we aren't allowed to see YouTube videos but luckily SchoolTube is provided. This has extremely strange animation but it just adds to the effect of the play! The dark colors show the emotion of the play from the times of rain and depression. Bright colors of the races and show drama but somberness. Vivid yet detailed, the creator of this animation got the main point from Julius Caesar. Beware the Ides of March! (Oh its the day after, oh well)
