<span><span>Brutus. </span>Be patient till the last. Romans, countrymen, and lovers! hear me for my cause, and be silent, that you may hear: believe me for mine honour, and have respect to mine honour, that you may believe: censure me in your wisdom, and awake your senses, that you may the better judge. If there be any in this assembly, any dear friend of Caesar's, to him I say, that Brutus' love to Caesar was no less than his. If then that friend demand why Brutus rose against Caesar, this is my answer: —Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more. Had you rather Caesar were living and die all slaves, than that Caesar were dead, to live all free men? As Caesar loved me, I weep for him; as he was fortunate, I rejoice at it; as he was valiant, I honour him: but, as he was ambitious, I slew him. There is tears for his love; joy for his fortune; honour for his valour; and death for his ambition. Who is here so base that would be a bondman? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so rude that would not be a Roman? If any, speak; for him have I offended. Who is here so vile that will not love his country? If any, speak; for him have I offended. I pause for a reply.</span>
Answer:
After, her grandmother told Cecilia there was a way for her to sleep under the stars. Cecilia’s grandmother led her across the hallway gently and slowly. Cecilia’s frail grandmother arrived at her room and rested in a chair. Cecilia asked if she was alright and her grandmother said, “I’m feeling stronger every day!” They pulled out many old things from a cedar chest. Cecilia’s mother’s baby shoes and a lock of hair from Cecilia’s first haircut. This was Platonic thinking. Plato was a Greek Philosopher from the Helenestic Age. He believed that everything can be known by its form. The Highest Form belonged in the ideas of the world of ideas and came first, was perfect, and was eternal with no beginning and end. Then came the Lowest Form which was the world of Physical Properties. They came later, were distorted, and were temporal with a beginning and end. All the Platonic thoughts revolved around the idea that nothing cannot create something. You can identify Plato in the story when they pulled out baby shoes and a lock of hair. The physical form of those objects didn’t carry any value but the memories that they had in them were non-physical and the Highest Form. Cecilia’s grandmother was physically weak, frail, and slow, but she was mentally strong.
Explanation:
Just watch some things, like saying Plato is instead of Plato was, and grandmother does not need to be capitalized.
Your answer should be C. Macabre and Suspenseful. Because this excerpt talks about death and despair and it is a bit detailed on the death bits and at the end leaves room for questions on what happens next. I hope this helps! ^-^
