<span>Their relationship is actually quite loving. In this scene Portia actually wakes up to have a little couple’s chat about the state of things. Portia knows Brutus is hiding something and implores him to share his burden. I'm going to go the romantic route and say that Brutus doesn't want to tell Portia because he does not want to involve her in this very dangerous conspiracy. Portia wants to know about the masked men, the secret chats...She says that she is his friend and wife rather than a kept woman. This bond is rather uncharacteristic of nuptial relationships during this period but it is nice to read! Hope this helped you at all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!</span>
It’s describing the moment of the snake
<em>Which word best describes the tone of this excerpt?</em>
<em>The correct answer is D. Sympathetic</em>
- <em>The word that best describes the tone is sympathetic. When the driver says, “Times are changed, don’t you know?” is looking for a change in the mind of his listener. He is trying to cause a reaction so that the listener makes sense of the reality. In the sentence, “Get your three dollars a day, feed your kids” The driver is asking his listener to do the actions that matter, he is asking the listener not to deviate from the path that is going to take him or her to live day by day. During the complete excerpt, the driver is showing compassion and sensitivity to the listener’s emotions.</em>
