In this quote from Act II, Scene I,  of "Julius Caesar", by William Shakespeare, based on the simile made by Brutus, the reason for assassinating Caesar is that he can become more dangerous to Rome than he is now, and it seems better to Brutus to assassinate him before he does his dangerous deed. It is like killing a serpent's egg while it is still in the shell before it can harm anybody.

Just an assumption but I study theatre and have read this play.

Brutus' reasoning for assassinating Caesar, as stated in the metaphor, is backed by his belief that Caesar's rise to power could lead to deadly consequences. Like a serpent's unhatched egg, Caesar seems benevolent at the time, but he could very well end up taking advantage of his power and using it against his kingdom and harming innocent people.

Hope that helps!

-Witness poetry

Patriotic poetry usually honors soldiers who fight in defense of their countrymen and to bring peace.
Anti-war poetry depicts war as a source of misery and shows futility of soldier's deaths and sacrifices they make.
Witness poetry is written by those, who were not fighting, but nevertheless experience war first hand. It is usually written by civilians.

Based on the friendship cluster web above, which of the following is the BEST choice for a possible thesis statement?
sammy [17]
I choice letter d. Friendship may first develop from sharing interests and having adventures, but profound relationship are built on trust, honesty, and support. Because every relationship start from friends to higher relationship like best friends but before that you need to know your people around you. So you need to know them by trusting them and to be honest to others to avoid misunderstanding to them. HONESTY is the best policy in terms of any kind of relationship then followed by SUPPORT. Everyone will support your plan or decision making specially it tackles about your personal lives.They will help you no matter what happen because best friends long last or their is forever in friendships.
