The following is the best summary of this passage: "Brutus asks if he has offended anyone, and they say no. He then asserts that he has not done anything to Caesar that the people would not do to him, and that Caesar’s triumphs have not been downplayed, nor have his crimes been exaggerated. As Antony enters with Caesar’s body, Brutus says that Antony had no part in killing Caesar, but will benefit from his death, just as all the people will. Finally, he says that he killed his best friend for the good of Rome, and he expects the people to do the same to him if Rome will benefit."
What makes it a good summary is that it brings out the main ideas of the text and restates them shortly and cleary:
- Brutus has indeed not gone against the will of the people by murdering Caesar: "none have I offended;"
- Brutus acknowledges the fact that he removed a ruler for the people and that he expects the same people to remove him as well if they deem it beneficial: "I have done no more to Caesar than you shall do to Brutus" and "I have the same dagger for myself, when it shall please my country to need my death;"
- Brutus wants to be fair by alluding to both Caesar's exploits and his failures: "his glory not extenuated, ... nor his offences enforced;"
- he also said that Antony was not guilty of Caesar's murder but that it is still advantageous for him: "though he had no hand in his death, shall receive the benefit of his dying;"
- finally, Brutus believes that his deed was a sacrifice in the interest of Rome: "I slew my best lover for the good of Rome."
The first sentence of the last paragraph in the text connects to an idea presented in the first paragraph.
That sentence is:
<em>"You may be at ease with pine or hardwood, or find shade under the domesticated trees in your city park, but in the high desert. Joshua is our tree."</em>
<h3>What idea does this sentence connect?</h3>
- The importance of vegetation.
- The way trees are beneficial.
- The importance of trees for humanity.
The first paragraph of the text emphasizes the idea that botanical study and understanding vegetation is essential for our lives. This paragraph shows how important trees are and this is reaffirmed in the first sentence of the last paragraph which shows how trees are inserted into our lives in many different formats.
