Read the excerpt from act 5, scene 5, of The Tragedy of Julius Caesar and the background information on the allusion it contains

. Excerpt: [BRUTUS.] It is more worthy to leap in ourselves Than tarry till they push us. Good Volumnius, Thou know’st that we two went to school together. Even for that, our love of old, I prithee, Hold thou my sword hilts, whilst I run on it. . . . So fare you well at once, for Brutus’ tongue Hath almost ended his life’s history. Night hangs upon mine eyes; my bones would rest, That have but laboured to attain this hour. . . . I prithee, Strato, stay thou by thy lord. Thou art a fellow of a good respect. Thy life hath had some smatch of honour in it. Hold then my sword, and turn away thy face While I do run upon it. Wilt thou, Strato? STRATO. Give me your hand first. Fare you well, my lord. BRUTUS. Farewell, good Strato. . . . Caesar, now be still: I killed not thee with half so good a will. Background information: The first book of Samuel in the Bible tells the story of Saul, who asks his armor-bearer to kill him when he is faced with defeat by religious enemies. When the man refuses, Saul falls on his sword rather than be captured by people who he is certain would not only kill him but also abuse him. How does the allusion in this excerpt from Julius Caesar affect the reader’s understanding of the plot?
It implies that the war between Brutus and Antony is a religious conflict.
It makes clear that Strato is disloyal to Brutus, since he is willing to kill him.
It reinforces the notion that Brutus’s enemies would prevent him from dying honorably.
It shows that Brutus is afraid he will be tortured if he is still alive when his enemies arrive.

What makes Holden depressed in Catcher in the Rye? Can you give a page number and quotation?
AnnyKZ [126]

Holden gets depressed because of fake behaviors. In the beginning of the novel, Holden describes how it makes him depressed when the headmaster only talks with the parents of the students if they are good-looking. He explains it in this following quote:

I can’t stand that stuff. It drives me crazy. It makes me so depressed I go crazy. I hated that goddam Elkton Hills (Page 13)


Holden became sad in the novel when his mother gave him the skates which was in wrong size:

One thing about packing depressed me a little. I had to pack these brand-new ice skates my mother had practically just sent me a couple of days before. That depressed me. I could see my mother going in Spaulding’s and asking the salesman a million dopy questions-and here I was getting the ax again. It made me feel pretty sad. She bought me the wrong kind of skates-I wanted racing skates and she bought hockey-but it made me sad anyway. Almost every time somebody gives me a present, it ends up making me sad (Page 37,38)


Holden also disapproves the tourists who want to see the show in the first place. He considers it naive because these people think that they are getting somewhere with this, in his opinion they are not actually.


And that business about getting up early to see the first show at Radio City Music Hall depressed me. If somebody, some girl in an awful-looking hat, for instance, comes all the way to New York- from Seattle, Washington, for God’s sake-and ends up getting up early in the morning to see the goddam first show at Radio City Music Hall, it makes me so depressed I can’t stand it (Page 53)
