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.
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.

Haikus

**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.
