Julios Caesar- What I would have done

"Yet I love him well. But wherefore do you hold me here so long? What is it that you would impart to me? If it is be aught toward the general good, set honor in one eye and death i' the other, And I will look on both indifferently; For let the gods so speed me as I love the name of honor more than I fear death" (1:2:90) Brutus says this to Cassius while they were talking about Caesar. If I'd been Brutus at that very crucial moment, I would have been confused too. For one, Caesar is Brutus's very best friend, and if he helped to kill him it would stay on his conscious for the rest of his life. He would think about it every morning when he wakes up, and every night before he goes to sleep. And i bet he wouldn't live the same life ever again knowing that he has killed his friend.

But, on the other hand, if he killed Caesar then the life in Rome would be a lot happier without him around. Killing Caesar would help more people's life than if he didn't kill him. Killing Caesar would only take away one soul, but leaving him alive would kill so many others. And that's why I would pick Good of Rome.

If Brutus joined the conspiracy and helped Cassius kill Caesar, He would help his own country, and fulfill his dreams of becoming ruler. As Brutus said "I do fear people choosing Caesar for their king". (1:2:87) With, or without Caesar. Killing Caesar would mean helping so many innocent Romans. And its better this way because if you kill Caesar you would only take one life, but leaving him alive would mean putting a lot of other people in danger.

Leader habits :D

To be a good leader, you must know how to take control. You must know how to do things and how to teach people to do it. You must be patient in order to be a leader and wait for the whole team to get on the same ‘page’. A good leader isn’t afraid to speak up for his/her self, and they are the ones that always get the most involved with things. It’s not like they get into all the conversations, but because they are not afraid to speak up, they get more involved with things. A good leader should be mostly nice to all people, and not ‘rebel’ against other people.

I think that Aysha and Natasha are some of our 8^th grade leaders. They always say what’s on their mind and don’t mind speaking up in the middle of class. That’s an example of why Aysha is in SLAMS, and why they have so many friends.

What is imperialism??

Imperialism and it’s affects
when the bigger, stronger Europeans countries invaded the weaker ones, they usually followed similar methods. They would invade by either starting a war or signing agreements with the ruler of the country. The reasons were very common. The invading countries wanted power, land, and glory. They also wanted the resources, (such as oil, cotton, gold, silver, etc’,) that the country had to offer. They changes that were brought upon the country were very powerful in most cases. It changed the whole way that the country was run. Usually, Britain, Russia, and France fought over the countries and most of the time Britain won. After the invading countries left, the invaded ones would have a different religion, different language, and a different way of living.

Meeting my goals-- again

As I've said before, my goals for the quarter were:

• Hand in all my HW on time,
• And get a grade thats higher than a B.

My grade did end up being higher than a B. And I'm proud of the scores i got on most of the things we did in class, especially our IR museum display and things associated with that.
I did hand in my HW on time, except one piece that I couldn't print and handed it at the end of the day instead of in class, but that was it.

So.. Now I have to write new goals for the second quarter:

• Try to participate more in class and say my opinion about things,
• Read more books and get my AR grade up,
• Stay on a grade that's higher than B (:D)

So I hope that I can keep my grade for the next quarter and maybe even get a higher one..
