Answer and Explanation:

Alberto Rios, in his poem "The Border: A Double Sonnet" describes what a border is. Among the several metaphors he uses, he mentions:

<em>[...]</em>

<em>The border is a real crack in an imaginary dam.</em>

<em>[...]</em>

<em>The border is a place of plans constantly broken and repaired and broken.</em>

Speaking of broken things contributes to the poem's theme. A border should be nothing more than that, an imaginary line. A border is an idea, a sense we have of being at different places. However, people, governments, politics have transformed the border into something else. It has gained importance, becoming a barrier to people and their dreams. A border breaks people's plans, takes away their opportunities, kills their hopes by keeping them out. A border - again, nothing but an imaginary line - is given the power to destroy when it is given power to keep people out.

2) C<span>assius suggested the murder of Marc Antony. Brutus opposed it because Antony is not a threat and if they kill him it will look like they are very violent and motivated by jealousy.

3) Portia demanded to know what is going on. She wanted to know the secrets that Brutus is keeping that involves Caesar. She wanted to know the real reason why Brutus seem agitated and unsettled. 

4) Calphurnia begged Caesar not to the Senate House because of her dreams that predicted his death. Decius, on the otherhand, appealed to Caesar's vanity and urged him to go to the Senate and not subject himself to the fickle dreams of Calphurnia.</span>
