Hello fellow Solon Spartans, I have decide to read the book Julius Caesar. This book is a classic that was wrote by one of the best ever William Shakespeare.
The book starts off with these two guys named Flavius and Murellus are walking on a street in Rome. As they walk along the street they are yelling at the peasants and telling them to get back to work. As they are walking along Murellus beginnings to talk to a cobbler about his profession. As the cobbler replies to him Murellus grows angry and Flavius ask the question why aren't you in your shop. He quickly responds that he is taking a holiday so that he can see Caesar walk threw the city.Murellus argues this in saying " Caesar’s victory does not merit a
triumph since it involves no conquering of a foreign foe to the greater glory of Rome." He then continues on reminding him of when the warriors returned from the great battle wins.
In the beginning of section two we read about Caesar standing in the town square with Antony, Calpurnia,
Portia, Decius, Cicero, Brutus, Cassius, Casca, and a Soothsayer. As he walks threw the center the Soothsayer warns the crowd of the Ides of March. Caesar approaches the man and quickly dismisses the saying. As Caesar talks to all of the characters the end of the seance nears and Cassius plots to turn
Brutus against Caesar.
As the third and final seance of act of comes we see Casca and Cicero meet on a Roman street. Its starts by Casca saying hes seen many bad things but nothing like the frightfulness of the nights weather. Casca then says he sees a mans hands on fire but yet they do not burn. Many more events are said before Casca said that its impossible for this stuff to happen in the natural world. Cassius enters and Casca ask why he is out side in this bad weather. Cassius replies by saying that he thinks the gods are warning them about big thing coming. Casca then says well the senate plans to make Caesar king tomorrow. Casca doesn't like this idea and he also plans to help Cassius with Caesar down fall.
Over all so far Ive thought its been a pretty good story. It can be hard to read a bit because of its age but my favorite character would have to be Caesar because its a great honnor to be king. And the only question I have is how does Caesar die?
wow sounds like an amazing book
