Caesar's Speech

Julius Caesar, and Friendship

    What does friendship mean to me? To me friendship is always being respectful to your friends, and being trustworthy with any secret or task. If you are disrespectful or dishonest you are not a good friend. Such as Brutus killing me and calling it a “good deed.”
    I understand Brutus is trying to be a good friend and do what is best for me, and my reputation, but you need to let your friends make their own decisions, maybe give them some advice, but in the end you don’t need to make the decision for them.
    Not being trustworthy is the biggest problem you can have in a friendship. Like when Brutus killed me and said to his fellows, “let no man abide this deed But us the doers.”(III,I,94)When he did this he was doing no deed, he was being an untrustworthy “friend.”Friends always need to be trustworthy, and honest so you can trust them with any secret or whatever you might tell them. You should be able to look away from your friend without the possibility of them murdering you!
    Friends should always be respectful. Friends also need to be respectful of the other persons well-being, body, and safety.
When Brutus said,” Let us bathe our hands in Caesar’s blood, up to the elbows, and besmear our swords.”(III,I,106) This is breaking another rule in the opinion of everybody, not to mention cruel and disgusting. Also you should respect your friends opinions and accept them, such as my opinion on not needing to be killed.
    Friends should always be respectful to you and your opinions, and be trustworthy to not harm you physically or mentally.

To Brutus,
Calphurnia is really making me angry. It is almost like I can't do anything without her being nosey and asking me questions and taking every oprotunity to criticize me. I almost feel like I want to just divorce her and get it over with! I am just about fed up with her.
Sincerely, Caesar

To Caesar,
Don't make any big decisions before thinking about them first. you need to step back take deep breathes, and maybe even tell her you are leaving for a while! I will be here for you if you have any problems.

AOW#3 to dr.Berry

Dr. Berry,

Extra school day’s? Dr. Berry we shouldn't have extra days of school at the end of the year, because it takes time out of our summer, and it deprives us of quality time with our family.
    Although I realize that school is important for college and for just being educated. What are we gonna get out of two extra days of school?
    Taking time out of our summer is like opening worlds of fun late, its just not fair to us. We would have two extra days of being angry, and losing time we could be at the pool. While other school districts are out at the pool we have our heads on our desks being bored. And also it takes time out of your summer!
    I don’t know if you have kids or a wife, but for most people we will want to spend some quality time with our family. We have been in school all year and we want a break! Some students might even have planned a vacation that you are scheduling school on. Then they would have to cancel reservations and all. All of Olathe would be let down!
    If you add school days you are taking our family time away, and taking away our summer. It’s just wrong and you should take this into consideration before making your decision.

Outside reading #1

I am reading Knots in my Yo-Yo String by Jerry Spenelli

this book is all about the childhood of famous author Jerry Spenelli. It talks about all the childhood fantasies of things like wanting to be a famous baseball player.

I am going to use yoyos to rate the book.

This book is amazing so far. I usually am not a book fan but I started to read this book and next thing I knew I had read 35 pages! So far in the book Jerry has given a walkthrough on how things went down for him as a kid.

Something that confuses me though is why Jerry Spenelli moved to new houses so often. Whats the point? And what does "It was an air raid siren" mean?

AOW#2

My favorite snapshot is one of me and my friend from childhood named Taylor Smith. In the picture me and Taylor are in preschool, I think. We sat on white cubes with numbers and letters on them. The thing that is most important about this picture to me is that it is the oldest picture I can actually vaguely remember taking. It is one of my fondest memories from back in the day. It is really cool to me that I can actually see a freeze frame of one of my first memories. It will most likely be my favorite picture I have ever taken forever.

AOW#1

My client should be able to keep going to your school because she has a right to post anything she wants on her personal facebook page without getting punished. The case should be reviewed immediately and I truly believe if my client got a second chance, she would not fail. She has learned her lesson and will not ruin her second chance if given one.
