Memorizing the Lines

The lines I choose were the first 15 lines of the lecture that Antony gives to the citizens to persuade them of Caesar’s goodness. The lines are very important because is the opening of a very important and It is also a speech to sway the citizens that Brutus is a bad bad man. I choose to memorize for many reasons. One reason was because I was quite familiar with the first line “Friends, Romans Countrymen” from studying the play a few years ago. Another reason was because I liked the language used in the line. The opening of the speech grabs your attention right away.

Compare Contrast Movie and Book

The movie and script of Julius Caesar were both good way to understand the material. The script gave a very solid and detailed description of everything that happened. Such as every single line, and every single action that happened. The movie on the other hand, didnt give so much detail such as having the characters say every single word, but it gave a much more visual and better illustration of what happened there. For example, when reading how Caesar was killed it was just like "etu Brutus" and then Caesar falls. Whereas in the movie, it was acted out and dramatic voices and actions were added. For me, i enjoy both the script and the play, because both materials had their strong points. It was good to read the script, and get a general a of the content, then watching the play to understand. If there was nocript and just watched the movie, I think i would have alot of trouble knowing what the story is about.

The Kite Runner

The kite runner is a very emotional and sad book by Khaled Hosseini, a Afganstianian-American writer. The book's setting is set in the Kabul, the capital of Afganstian, then to American, then back to Kabul, then ends in America with a happy ending. The book talks about two boys who grew up equally but is drawn apart by their social status. The beginning of the was story ok, there were good descriptions, but then the story suddenly turned sad, when Amir, the main character watched his friend Hassan get raped and didnt do anything about it. Even worse, Amir wanted to escape the situation by getting Hassan and his father fired from the house as their servants. About a few decades later, Amir who is now in America picks up a call from an old business partner of his father, saying he needs to come to Pakastain. Amir, who gets persuaded hops on the plane over. There he discovers the truth about his life. At the end, he ends up taking Hassan's son to America with him because Hassan and his wife got shot. I think this is a really good book, and I would recommend it to anybody who wants to read a good story. (I finished it in one day).

Shaksphere

Shakesphere is a very interesting person, who wrote alot of plays. Personally, i have only read Romeo and Juliet which thought was really funny and cheesy. The love lines he asigns are pretty hilarious and attention grabbing especially with all the cheesyness in it. I kind of like shakesphere even though the language is kind of difficult to understand. Julius Caesar, on the other hand is more serious and has alot more meanings and thoughts to it. But generally, the things i like about Shakesphere's humorous offences and jokes he has in his plays.
