Was Julius Caesar a patriot or betrayer ? Three examples from the play to help show
Serggg [28]
Julius Caesar is a play deeply concerned with the idea of rhetoric, or persuasion. The play is driven by persuasion. Cassius convinces Brutus that Caesar must die, setting the story in motion. The resolution of the plot is decided by Antony's speech to the plebeians. Shakespeare sees rhetoric as one of the most powerful forces in the world; able to topple kings and crown them. The play, Julius Caesar, examines what gives rhetoric its power by pitting Brutus's speech against Mark Antony's. Shakespeare shows Antony's rhetoric to be superior by the effect he has on the plebeians.

Brutus's speech fails to convince permanently win over the crowd because he does not understand them. His first failure is at the beginning of his speech when he asks the plebeians to, "Censure me in you wisdom, and awake your senses". It seems as though he does not realize that he is speaking to an angry mob. His argument is based on cold and calculating reason. He argues that the love of freedom is stronger than the ties of friendship. "Not that I loved Caesar less, but that I loved Rome more". This logic cannot sink deeply into an emotional mob. He asks the plebeians to "Believe me for mine honor, and have respect to mine honor that you may believe". He cannot use his honor as a reason for belief in his story when his honor is in question. Brutus fails to offer any proof of Caesar's ambition, the central point of his argument. He ends his speech with a verbal attack on any who disagree with him, essentially calling them cowards. This silences dissension temporarily but when the other side is presented it does not help his cause. Brutus's argument fails because he much less a man of the people than he would like to think.
Mark Antony's argument is a great piece of rhetoric. He successfully accomplishes his object of convincing the plebeians that Brutus is a traitor. He has mastered the use of emotion, subtlety and logic. He uses emotional phrases such as, "My heart is in the coffin there with Caesar" and "Oh judgment, thou art fled to brutish beasts". Which give him a connection with the emotion the crowd is feeling at the death of Caesar. He begins not by attacking Brutus..

How should we understand problematic classic books?
Serjik [45]

Answer:

I think there are a couple of reasons why some people have a difficult time reading classic books; vocabulary has changed, and naturally so have the times. This makes it hard for readers to understand or relate to a story, and therefore they're not interested in reading.

What two recurring events in Earth’s history have an impact on the carbon cycle?
Oksanka [162]
<span>Carbon is stored inside plants. When deforestation occurs or any other natural clearing of land, the carbon cycle is changed due to plants being removed that would have captured the CO2 and changed it to oxygen and also by the removal of large plants that store carbon being replaced with either small crops or concrete that do not store carbon. In nature, fossil fuels release carbon very slowly over time, humans burn it at a much greater rate due to dependence on it, and burning fossil fuels emits a lot of CO2 into the atmosphere.</span>
