Does Violence lead to more Violence

I think it does because if someone starts a war than the other person wants to fight back, he wouldn't just do nothing, he would fight back. In the play, after Caesar dies and the crowd finds out by means of Antony, they want to riot against the senate. But Antony wants them to revolt against the senate at the right time. And also when the towns people kill Cinna the poet just for his name, and they did that because Cinna the conspirator was one of the people who killed Caesar.

Brutus: Good of Rome or Good of Julius Caesar

Personally as Brutus I would choose the good of Rome because that is my first duty before being a good friend. One main story of the evidence that I have is Cassius was telling bad stories about Caesar like when he wanted to jump into the river and he almost drowned, that was bad judgment on his part. If he really wanted to be the leader he should have thought about what my choices are before doing what he did.

A Good Leader

Some of the qualities of a good leader are knowing where to go and what to do, being outgoing, and being funny. I think some of the 8th grade leaders are Petr, Natasha, and Aysha. All of these people depict these qualities. To demonstrate all of these qualities they basically have to follow those qualities.

Case Study In Imperialism

The main method of taking over these countries was military force. Some of the changes were cleanliness, education, dams canals, the telephone, and the telegraph. The motivation was mostly cash crops like tea, dye, cotton, coffee, and there was a lot of cheap labor. The glory part for England taking over India was being the first and only country to take over India, so that gave them great power, and India had a lot of free land.

Reflection Goals

I think I have done very well in achieving most of my goals. Some of the goals I achieved was that I made a good impression on my teacher and the students, I turned in most of my assignments, I became a lot more organized, and I think I became a better, faster reader.

Some of the goals that I want to start are bringing a bag of chips every day for the rest of the year, I want to learn about countries, and I also want to become a fluent speaker.
